Gnuff
Gnuff is a Danish comic book series about an anthropomorphic dragon who lives in a city with his wife Gnellie and his son Gnicky. They keep their wings hidden and generally try to live quietly, being considered 'outsiders' in a Carl Barks-like world of contemporary talking animals.
Gnuff first appeared in the Scandinavian fanzine Sejd. Over the years, creator Freddy Milton has written and drawn many feature-length stories, resulting in a series of full-color albums, a regular Sunday-page newspaper comic strip, appearances in Critters and alongside Usagi Yojimbo
The Gnuff stories often revolve around social and environmental concerns. In an interview in Amazing Heroes #129, Milton said, "My dragons openly depict the problems of minorities. they have to conceal their old culture to make it in our society. Also, they are a species on the decline. These are the reasons why they appeal to me."
