Characters
The strip's main characters are the Dewclaws, a blended family as a result of an interspecies marriage. The comic's primary characters are Kevin Dewclaw, a rabbit, and his wife Kell Dewclaw, a wolf. They met in a web forum for carnivores, where Kevin was "lurking". They began to fall in love, but it was not until they met each other in person that Kell discovered Kevin was a rabbit. The relationship they developed online leads them to continue dating and eventually marry, despite knowing that they would be outcasts from the rest of society.
Originally, Kevin worked as a sysop on a herbivore web forum, although he's currently the co-owner of his own internet service provider, Hare-Link. Kell worked for Herd-Thinners, a company that hunts down prey. Her job is to hunt down other animals. Originally she hunted down her own prey. Any prey not eaten by her is later sold in grocery stores as "processed meat". She later became an executive and then CEO of the company, taking over from her old boss R.L., a ruthless wolf whose face is never seen apart from his drooling mouth, only to be pushed out later in a bloodless coup by R.L. and is now currently running her own start-up company, Dewclaw's Fine Meat Products that exclusively doesn't hunt rabbits.
The couple has three children. The eldest is Lindesfarne Dewclaw, an English hedgehog daughter Kevin adopted during his first marriage. The second eldest child is Rudy, Kell's son from her first marriage to a fox. Rudy, A talented artist, once challenged Kevin for the position of alpha male, unable to accept a rabbit as head of the household and as his stepfather. He has since matured and has come to terms with the marriage. The youngest child is Coney, a carnivorous rabbit and their only child by birth. Although only five years old, she is a capable hunter as well with an artistic streak like her half-brother, though Kevin's mother Dorothy keeps trying to make her into an herbivore.
Other regular characters include Fenton Fuscus, a bat who went to high school and university with Lindesfarne, to whom he is now married; Fiona Fennec, a half-red, half-Fennec fox vixen who is Rudy's girlfriend; George Fennec, Fiona's father who is married to Danielle, a sister of Kevin, and have a human son, Francis (the first of its kind in this world)since Danielle herself was human once; and Ralph Dewclaw, Kell's brother who was originally hostile to Kevin, but now accepts the rabbit as family after several unsuccessful hunting attempts. He now works for Kevin as part of Hare-Link and is married to George's former wife Martha. Another is Daisy, a daisy plant made intelligent by the GBC. It lives with the Dewclaws as a pet, having the same intelligence as a dog or cat in our world.
