Ozy and Millie The webcomic
Ozy and Millie, Simpson's first published comic strip (published under
D.C. Simpson), began running regularly in 1998 while she was attending Washington State University as a graduate student.
I Drew This Simpson's second published comic strip,
I Drew This, was concerned mainly about politics, from a
liberal perspective. It is semi-autobiographical, in that one of the main characters is the author (the other is Joe, the Liberal Eagle) and its focus is often the author's own musings.
I Drew This began life in the Washington State University
Daily Evergreen in January 2004, while Simpson was attending graduate school. Like
Ozy and Millie, this comic is part of the webcomics portal
Keenspot, beginning November 2006. Material from
I Drew This was included in
Attitude 3: The New Subversive Online Cartoonists. The May 16, 2005 edition, "Teaching Gravity", featured the first reference to the theory of
intelligent falling.

Other work On January 16, 2009, Simpson posted the first page of
Raine Dog, a
graphic novel which follows an
anthropomorphic dog living among humans with other recently liberated house dogs. The most recent update was in January 2010. Simpson abandoned the project "for the foreseeable future". Simpson announced that she is writing and illustrating a book about her
transition, targeted for middle-school students, titled ''Only You're Different
