Coming Up Violet

Coming Up Violet is a Furry Comic written and created by Brian Daniel and illustrated by Misty Caldwell (background art by Kevin), and the sequel to Fur Will Fly. The comic also was a spinoff, switching the focus from Brad and his antics to Violet Oaks and her circle of friends in high school.

A more consistent art style leads this comic to be better than the original graphically. It's also way more PC. However, the artist and the writer had a falling out leading to the comic being canceled and taken down. The canceling didn't last long as the artist continued the comic on May 17th, 2010 with a new writer (Bombur). Looks like things turned out okay after all.

Coming Up Violet contains examples of:

 * Art Evolution
 * Barefoot Cartoon Animals: All the characters except Brad and.
 * Batman in My Basement
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Bishie Sparkle: Lampshaded.
 * The Chessmaster:
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Brad and his daughter.
 * Contemplate Our Navels: Why are we here? Brad doesn't know exactly, but he does know that he and Dawn are there for a purpose.
 * Cousin Oliver: Dawn is the second human in the comic and a rare example of this trope done well.
 * The Dark Side
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: It's less of a defrosting and more of an, but you get the general idea.
 * Diary: The title character keeps one of these, and it's used as the intro for the comic proper.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything: The pretty boy Jerk Jock who spreads lies of memetic proportions about his and Violet's completely non-existent sexual escapades is on the school's lacrosse team.
 * The Dog Bites Back:
 * Domestic Abuse: Not the spouse-on-spouse kind, but still . ..
 * Enemy Mine:
 * Et Tu Brute
 * Everytown America
 * Fan Service: Misty once drew three two of the male characters in swim trunks.
 * Fish Out of Water: Dawn
 * Furry Confusion: One of the filler comics showed that Melody owns two dogs.
 * Gender Equals Breed: Slightly subverted in that every cross-species example seems to take after the mother, regardless of sex
 * Go Go Enslavement: Page owns one of the classic examples of this trope for use in her and Brad's bedroom games.
 * The roles latter get reversed between Brad and Page as to who's wearing it.
 * Good Angel Bad Angel: Violet has two of these, both modeled after the classic Warner Brothers versions of the trope.
 * Good Samaritan: Violet is quickly becoming the Anthropomorphic Personification [no pun intended] of this trope.
 * Groin Attack: See "Wedgie Messiah"
 * Half Human Hybrid: Beatrice, Brad and Page's daughter, who has her mother's species and gender, and her father's . . . everything else.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: Very much subverted with the school bullies.
 * High School
 * Hoist By His Own Petard
 * Interspecies Romance
 * Bat/Rhino
 * Human/Mouse (yeah, they're still around)
 * Cat/Squirrel/Bat/Chinchilla Love Dodecahedron
 * Jerkass
 * Jerk Jock
 * Kids Are Cruel
 * Law of Disproportionate Response
 * Like Father Like Daughter
 * Love Dodecahedron
 * Malicious Slander
 * Maligned Mixed Marriage: Brad and Page, complete with the various difficulties of said trope. Most of those difficulties usually turn out to be trying to hide Brad's real identity (he's an alien from a Mirror Universe), while also resulting in a lot of Angst What Angst at the same time due to Brad's Cloudcuckoolander nature.
 * Medium Awareness: In strip 231, posted on 8/30/2010, Brad contemplates why he and Dawn were sent to the comic's universe. In the full version posted on Misty's DA profile he concludes that not only is there a higher power guiding their lives but that there's a good chance that the world is just a template with certain differences being like toys in a game of make believe, thus hanging a colossal lampshade on the entire writing process and fiction in general in the process.
 * Naive Everygirl:
 * Neat Freak: Melody, who prefers to keep everything organized.
 * Nice Job Breaking It Hero: Skylar was perfectly happy pseudo-dating Melody, then his best friend Wendyl reminded him that he had originally started hanging out with her to get to her friend Violet.
 * No Biochemical Barriers: Brad and Page's daughter
 * Only One Name: Besides Brad's family there's also the background artist for the comic, Kevin.
 * Out Gambitted
 * Parental Substitute
 * Promoted Fangirl: Misty Caldwell started out as a fan of the original comic and is the illustrator; she still claims to be a fan and dislikes spoilers.
 * Schedule Slip: Because of the details of Misty's work the comic usually doesn't get the chance to update.
 * Shout Out: The 2009 Halloween filler featured Melody and Violet as characters from Team Fortress 2 [the Sniper and Scout respectively], which makes sense considering that Misty is a fan.
 * Spin Off: Of Fur Will Fly.
 * Squee
 * Staying With Friends
 * Straw Feminist: Subverted: Violet does not want to be the Wedgie Messiah.
 * Studio Audience: Played for laughs. Literally!
 * Super OCD: Melody; it certainly doesn't help that she's a chinchilla.
 * Third Person Person
 * Triang Relations
 * Un Canceled: It's aliiive!
 * Well Done Son Guy: Subverted: Skylar's step-dad really tries to be a good parent.
 * Well Done Son Guy: Subverted: Skylar's step-dad really tries to be a good parent.
