A webcomic done mostly in rough sketches by troper Ksiezniczka loosely based on her own real life, with the central theme of learning to adjust to adulthood. It can be found here

Cynical lesbian feminist Ania Dabrowski lives in San Francisco with her girlfriend Vittie Belasco, and their two friends, the laid-back photographer Cass O'Malley, and the slightly-neurotic design student Vivi Meyer. The comic is mostly a series of sketchy one-shots following the four girls (and their Siamese cat Chairman Meow) throughout the city of San Francisco

Tropes used in March March Dabrowski include:

• Adolf Hitler: Cass's tattoo, which may or may not be canon.
  • Also, before settling on Chairman Meow, Ania wanted to name the cat Kitler.
• Ambiguously Jewish: Ania
• Anachronic Order
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Lenka, at times.
