History ComicStrip / LibertyMeadows

** Also, Frank gets one when he's {{BoundAndGagged}}.

The strip concerns both the human and animal denizens of Liberty Meadows, an animal sanctuary/rehabilitation clinic. Said denizens include Brandy Carter, a beautiful animal psychiatrist; Frank Mellish, a nerdy veterinarian with a huge crush on Brandy; Al, the often-injured handyman; Julius, the beleaguered owner; Ralph, a mad-scientist/former circus bear; Dean, a lecherous sexist pig (literally, a pig); Leslie, a hypochondriac frog; Truman, a cute and naive duckling; and Oscar, a mischievous dachshund (and one of the few animals not to talk). Other characters include Al, an over-qualified bartender with a fondness for conspiracy theories; Jen, Brandy's rocket-scientist roommate with a fondness for toying with men; Roger, Brandy's ex-fiance who constantly schemes to win Brandy back in that RomanticFalseLead kind of way; and Frank Cho, the author who [[AuthorAvatar appears as a monkey]].

Though it started its life on the comics page, after four years, Cho pulled it from newspapers claiming to be tired of dealing with newspaper censors. Most of the censorship concerned the large amounts of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes-esque violence, as well as Brandy and Jen, who were drawn in a style notably sexier than just about anything else on the comics page (with tons of MaleGaze to boot) and who were written as clearly aware of their sexuality in ways few other newspaper comics character have been. Another constant concern was Dean who, well, acted realistically lecherous and not just "newspaper comic" lecherous, if that makes any sense. Truthfully, the [[http://www.libertymeadows.com/uncengal/index.htm censored strips]] aren't that bad... they just toe the PG-13 line in ways newspaper editors were not comfortable with. Let's just say they didn't have these problems with ''TheBornLoser''.

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Duckling And His X]]: Truman and Oscar.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Brandy is very clearly based on Lynda Carter of ''Series/WonderWoman'' fame. In the same vein, her father John Carter was originally supposed to be a dead ringer for {{Superman}}, which can be seen in a panel from [[spoiler: Brandy's wedding]] that must be gold to all Superman/Wonder Woman shippers (he eventually ends up looking an awful lot like Creator/TomSelleck).
** Brandy's resemblance to Wonder Woman is parodied in the strip itself several times. One instance is when Liberty Meadows [[spoiler:catches on fire]] and the cartoonist fantasizes about Brandy saving the day by turning into Wonder Woman (this is scrapped when he decides it's too ludicrous). Another time is at the comic convention, when geeky fanboys continue to insist that Brandy is Lynda Carter and ask how many times she spun around to turn into Wonder Woman. When she finally convinces them that she is ''not'' Carter, they immediately start insisting that she is Lucy Lawless, the actress who played Series/{{Xena|Warrior Princess}}.

An award-winning [[NewspaperComic newspaper comic strip]], and later ComicBook, created by Frank Cho. It was syndicated in newspapers from 1997-2001, and since then has been collected in comic book form by Insight Studios and ImageComics.

After leaving the syndicated, Cho self-published the comic book until issue #27, with ImageComics taking over printing and distribution. The comic book went on a hiatus in early 2004 after issue #36 until June 2006 when issue #37 came out, the last issue published so far. Cho has said that he hopes to start the book up again soon.

* EvilTwin: Evil Brandy

* {{Fanservice}}: Brandy and Jen were walking fanservice while wearing ''clothing'', much less the skimpy outfits and underwear Cho sometimes drew them in. Censorship got to most of it, but let's just say that this is Frank Cho's most notable artistic quality to comic fans for a reason.

* MaleGaze: Remember, This is Frank Cho.
