I Drew This

Rating Summary

--

Background
After having seen both the wonderful Ozy and Millie and the execrable Raine Dog, it was natural curiousity to know how this other creation of D. C. Simpson's was.

Downfall


This comic always sucked.

Story and Plot
Not applicable, as it is a gag strip.

Art review
Line drawings with some shading, recognizable caricatures of the various people depicted.

Writing review
Basically D. C. Simpson's message in this webcomic is, "If you're a liberal, you're kindly, intelligent, reasonable, but if you're conservative, you're nasty, racist, stupid, hypocritical, and don't let us give our opinions!" (Never mind that this is quite the opposite of my own experiences in the political discussion arena.) Nothing more than indulgent self-congratulation, though that arguably applies to most political webcomics.

Author biography
D. C. Simpson is best known as the author of the well-regarded furry webcomic Ozy and Millie, which has received much acclaim and numerous awards. Unfortunately Simpson's talents seem to have deserted her lately. The liberal Simpson, an MTF transsexual who recently had her sex-change operation completed a few years ago, seems to have had her wit and wonderful sense of humor removed in her operation, with her later work consisting of heavy handed and ultimately impenetrable political allegories like Raine Dog, although humorless, pretentious political comics such as I Drew This prove that even in her Ozy and Millie days she had a penchant for being overblown and unfunny. She did finally receive syndication for a new strip of hers, with the working title of Girl, but unfortunately she simply recycles her old Ozy and Millie strips for that one. Fortunately the new strip that has appeared in newspapers, Heavenly Nostrils, about a little girl and a unicorn she adopted, does take its own path, so there is hope for her yet. (She has since also mentioned that she doesn't publicly discuss politics anymore. Good for her.)

Conclusion
If your idea of humor is ultra-cheap and libelous attacks on conservatives, this is the webcomic for you. Anyone else will find their intelligence insulted.
