The Romancing of a Dragon and a Fox

Of course, not all racism comes from white people either.

This is a very good point, and it gets overlooked a lot.

Unfortunately, I have come across an attitude that racism is, by definition, against races that do not have the upper hand in power. They would say that a Black man with a low and hostile opinion of Whites is not racist, unless he has a similar opinion of Latinos or perhaps his own race.

except, the racism from people who are not "in power" is empowering them over the insulted race by demeaning and insulting them. regardless of true social or political power, racism is still empowering the racist on a personal level.

At NAGTY (National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth) Summer School this year I co-wrote a short furry film we made. A sheep boy and a panda girl had a romance, and I was a lemur in a romance with an unknown animal girl (she had a tail, but we never decided anything beyond that. XD Sequel perhaps?)

I enjoy the even pacing of the relationship between Ms. Mudd and Llewellyn. It's always a nice kind of sorbet between the crazier plots and is ALSO a great excuse for Isolde babysitter sub-plots. I enjoy how sublte the growth of that relationship has been as well, especially since if it moved TOO fast, then Ozy and Millie would become instant siblings and that might be a little weird. (Altough I suspect that Millie would look favorably on the potential chaos involved in being a step-dragon, for lack of a better term.)

On the racial overtones present in their relationship, like all such references in Ozy & Millie, the nature of the strip and the quality of it's writing always keep them present but never painfully obvious. That's a very hard line to skate and I'm always impressed with how skillfully D.C. manages it.
