Line 6:
The comic originally started off as a deconstruction of the relationship between cartoon animals and cartoon humans in contrast to real-life relationships between humans and animals. Then Simpson started using the comic as a soapbox for her political views, publishing a comic that had nothing to do with the main story where Raine, [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]], slammed the Republicans using a not so subtle Red State/Blue State commentary (seemingly the specific reason Raine was drawn with [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife|blue fur]]).
Then...things got weirder when Simpson tried to [[Anvilicious|force]] [[Author Tract]] relating to her sex change and transgender life in the United States, but the allegory brought up too many [[Unfortunate Implications]] since it involved [[But You Screw One Goat!|Raine Dog making out with a young boy]]. When members of a fan message board said that Simpson was [[Jumping the Shark]], she out and out [[Small Name, Big Ego|disavowed that board]].
Since then, not much has happened with her career. In 2009, she won Amazon.com's "Comic Strip Superstar" contest with ''Girl'', [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|a comic about a young girl]]. Fans were a little more favorable to this one than ''Raine Dog'', but the comic was still poorly received due to the fact that many of the jokes were recycled from ''Ozy and Millie''. This comic was supposed to be syndicated by Andrews McMeel Universal, but was basically [[Vaporware]] for a while. Simpson retooled the comic into ''[[Heavenly Nostrils (Webcomic)|Heavenly Nostrils]]'', the story of a human girl and her unicorn friend, which is currently running on Go Comics.
