Dragon City is a webcomic made by Micah McNully.
It is generally drawn in Paintshop Pro version 7, but it's
occasionally hand drawn. The dragons in the comic are anthromorphic
and range in colors.
Story
Sam and Rachel are newly
weds who were run out of their last town for endangering their
city's secrecy to the humans. They moved to the caves under Chicago
where they met their wacky neighbors: A brown dragon with an
indistinguishable accent, and a mute blue dragon. Eventually they
have children, both of which are prodigies. Erin (the oldest child)
has been aged so as to add another major character.
Basic
Concept
Dragons were the masters of the dinosaurs, but saw the
imminent danger and hid in underground caves where they sat for
several millennia. One day, they found out the surface was
inhabited by hairless apes, so they decided to keep their lives
down in the caves a secret.
Characters
The
Parrity's
Samuel Aaron Parrity
Sam acts stupid, but is
actually rather smart. He is the breadwinner of the family, but not
necessarily the loincloth wearer (thank God he actually wears
loincloths, though.) Due to some criminal activity (eating human
hobos) he was forced to move to the caves of Chicago.
First
Appearance: "New City"
Rachel Alice Parrity
Rachel has
a bad temper (to put it lightly), and originally didn't want Erin,
but is rather glad Sam talked her into laying an egg. She is very
sensitive about her squinty eyes and tries to tear out anyone's
throat who mentions it.
First Appearance: "New City"
Erin
Samus Parrity
Erin is a child prodigy. At three (Kindergarten
age for dragons), she's reading Sphere by Michael Crichton and
talking down to her teachers. She's inherited the female version of
her father's first name for her middle name and his horn formation.
She inherited her mother's eyes, bad temper, and skull bone
structure. Erin calls her mother by her first name because Sam
watched The Simpsons and Family Guy with her while she was still in
an egg.
First Appearance: "Hatchling"
Jonas Alan
Parrity
Jonas is the second born Parrity child. Not much is
known about him just yet, but he is assumed a prodigy like his
older sister and parents. Jonas was named after a character in
Steve Alten's book, Meg.
First Appearance: "Birth of the Second
Child."
----
The other characters
Dr. Seamus "Doc
Croc" McCrockagan
Doc Croc is both Sam's neighbor and
co-worker. He has a thick accent which is quite hard to place
because it seems to be constantly switching.
First Appearance:
"New Neighbors."
Emily McCrockagan
Emily is mute and
carries around a white board in which she conveys all of her
thoughts. She is a bit of a gossip and hates her neighbor Rachel
because Rachel isn't that type.
First Appearance: "New
Neighbors"
Kimberly McCrockagan
Kim inherited her
mother's attitude, but her father's intelligence (she's not a
prodigy, however) and thick accent. She dislikes Rachel and Erin
because of how Emily treats them.
First Appearance: "New
Class"
David McCrockagan
He's pretty much a clone of
his father, except for his colors.
First Appearance: "Sarah
Accumen."
