That's exactly what the Raine Dog story is, or at least that's what I've picked up from the titbits mentioned about it over the last couple of years. It's a world in which animals are sentient, just another kind of people, except that (in the earliest time during the story, anyway) they're owned by humans. Slavery, really, in this context.It's a little patronizing to say girl instead of ma'am or miss or whatever. Isn't there some historical context also. I rather think this is a reference to the civil rights movement than the author's own life.
Why do people on webboards DO this? You've just handed us all the ammunition we'll need if we ever want you to go away.(I might have to stay away from this forum, too, if it remains full of people complaining that it's not Ozy and Millie and they don't get it and can someone spell out all the nuances for them like a GCSE English Lit study guide.)
:-) Heh. I don't know why people on webboards do it either. There's probably a sociology paper in there somewhere. I usually avoid being that kind of cliché, but I guess it slipped through this time.Why do people on webboards DO this?

Ok, now you lost me. Where did David and Dana come from? The only name I've seen in the strip so far is Raine.I started to have simular thoughts but it didn't really made sense to me.But then it occured to me because this is semi-autobiographical maybe it refers to a change of self, from David to Dana (did I spell it right?). But I could be thinking to hard :/ .
I thought the same thing at first that she was refering to the "good boy/girl!" type of speech directed at dogs.
In the context of the last panels (with Raine's expression), I say it's the "good boy/girl!" type directed at dogs too.I...still think that's where that strip was going, personally. Maybe I'm wrong, but...someone coming at this strip for the first time with no idea of DCS's history wouldn't have anywhere else to go with that; it's a bit too meta to think it's a reference to gender, I think.

OK, call me dense. I always thought O&M (and now RD) had a single writer/artist. is it a team instead like I've seen in other strips?The D in DCS.Ok, now you lost me. Where did David and Dana come from? The only name I've seen in the strip so far is Raine.
