Misty the Mouse compendium #1

Misty the Mouse refers to both the character and the webcomic she starts in, the two created by artist David "Dutch" Koppenhaver.

Character[edit]

Misty is a medium-sized (5' 6" [1.67 meters]) anthropomorphic female mouse with a substantially ample bosom. While the earliest furry artwork involving Misty did emphasize this (mild) sexual aspect, Dutch soon added a more conservative, somewhat shy personality to go with Misty's personality. By the time Dutch began a webcomic based on her, Misty had become a more mild-tempered, motherly, and three-dimensional character.

Misty has made some appearances in The Brothers Grinn's webcomic, Supermegatopia.

Webcomic[edit]

Misty the Mouse the webcomic, which began on January 3, 2001, portrays the every day slice-of-life events of Misty, her works at the flower shop, and relationship with her musician husband, Jules Gerbil.

The series is adult-oriented, with sexual innuendos continually appearing throughout the storyline (often serving as the basis of the plot), including the often portrayed running joke regarding Misty's plus-sized bosom.

Despite these sexual traits, the strip emphasizes characterization and finding humor in the day-to-day lives of average working-class people over adult humor. Misty herself just happens to be a woman with a plus-sized chest, which she takes pains not to overemphasize.

There is no direct blatant sexual imagery or pornography to be found in the series, and despite the darker tone found in some story arcs, there are still moments of balancing good humor therein.

History[edit]

In May 2006, an unscheduled hiatus began, with Dutch announcing one year later that the strip would be resuming a regular schedule; however, the last strip was posted in May 2007, and the website went down in December 2007.

By 2011, the site came back online, and new strips were released with a new storyline starting with the death of Jules, and how Misty copes with life after this tragic loss and its ensuing antics with help from her friends (It was later revealed that Jules' death did not occur).[clarify][1]

Printed comic[edit]

Misty the Mouse was published as a one-shot print comic by Shanda Fantasy Arts in June 2004, collecting both the webcomic's The Live-In arc and the beginning of the The Coming of the Little Ones one, although with updated text.
