About Dana
Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from the Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.
Attempts at doing real work along the way are hardly worth mentioning; the relevant fact is that, from 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip “Ozy and Millie.” After winning the Comic Strip Superstar contest in 2009, she is now preparing to launch a strip via Universal Press Syndicate, called “Heavenly Nostrils” (title pending).
She currently lives in Des Moines, Washington, with her tech genius husband and her fairly stupid cat.
She is emailable at dcsimpson at gmail dot com.
Hello Mrs. Simpson, my name is Alex Foix I would like to tell you two things. The first thing is that I’m a big fan of Ozy & Millie, the second thing is a question. See I was wondering if it would be okay to use characters from your old webcomic for the one I’m making.
I would encourage you to come up with your own characters! Creatively it’s much more interesting.
Great atircle, thank you again for writing.
Hey! MY name is Michael Lovins I’m a huge fan of Ozy and Millie, and noticed the site was redesigned. Do you still have the store to buy Ozy and Millie stuff?
Looks like the store is still up at http://www.cafepress.com/ozyandmillie. I’ll nudge Dana to put a link to it on the site.
I was on Moveon.org’s site and they had your cartoon, “Broken Vases” from I drew this.org w/o crediting you.

I told them that you drew it and gave them the link to the original cartoon.
I love your art and lost track of your site for a while. Congrats on getting married. Love the cat blogging.
Could. . . could it be. . . it’s just a faint glimmer of hope, but. . . more Ozy and Millie strips?
*Dies of severe squee.*
So let me get this straight… You created Ozy and Millie, my favorite comic, along with Calving & Hobbes and Bloom County… then you create the best darn political cartoon I’ve ever seen… THEN I find out recently that you also like ponies… and NOW you have a new blog!?
Are you determined to be the single most awesome force on the internet, or does it just happen that way?
Wait… did you really just attribute Calvin & Hobbes, and Bloom County to DC Simpson?
…She was “inspired” by those two syndicated strips from the 80s/90s… I’m sorry… I don’t want to be mean… but this was a total spit-take moment…and I’m eating raman noodles… can you imagine what a mess that would make? I’m hoping you’re just really young.
Naw. What he-she (I hate to assume–English needs a singular neutral pronoun!) is saying is that Ozy and Millie, Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County are his-her three favorite strips.
Which is a HUGE compliment.
Hello there, I couldn’t find a fan email address or anything so I’ll just ask here haha,I am new to a lot of stuff here so I need help finding things but I found your comic “Raine Dog” and it seemed cool, but I can’t find more of the comic :/ all I could find was the Russian version XD http://furries.ru/rd/ but I would like to find all of it in English ofcourse, can you send me a link to the site or archive or something ???
Thank you, reply soon
Just so you know I loved your lastest Unicorn comic. Reading that comic strip is like a bowl of marshmellows; I just want more and more of it until I can’t get enough of it. When your strip goes full year can you release a print release of a collection book. I am a fan of ponies and comics too. Could you try to reply as soon as possible? Thank you.
Don’t worry, I do have a book contract, so at least one book is happening!
Anyway, is there a chance I could get your autograph? From the looks of your webpage I say you are a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I do sign autographs at conventions sometimes.
Which conventions and is WordPress better than Weebly because I am using Weebly? One more thing, How many strips of Heavenly Nostrils did you create?
