'''''Poppy O’Possum''''' is a webcomic focusing on an opossum. A very ''strong'' opossum.
Taking place on Flora, a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, Poppy Odeletta Possum is a single mother who'd like nothing more than to find somewhere to comfortably settle down and raise her daughter, Lily - something she's been trying to do for quite a while, with little success, requiring her to move out very frequently. Her recent attempt is in a little town in the Fenneclands called Eggton. Here, surely, will be the place she can find the low-profile she's been seeking.
This fails immediately.
See, opossums are considered by most all to be the lowest of filth in Flora, and this has resulted in more than her fair share of rough knocks over the years (including having her daughter's eye injured by a slingshot); Eggton is no different. However, she manages to find favor with the mayor's assistant/daughter, the cat Petunia, after effortlessly knocking back the local mafia's bagman, a burly bird out to collect an impossible sum of protection money from Eggton. The comic focuses on Poppy's life in town from there, and all the troubles of the world out to get at her.

Poppy's character bio explicitly points this out, contrasting it with her interest in collecting socks (which she ''also'' doesn't wear).
* CreationMyth: Opens up with Poppy telling Lily one about the opossum goddess Didelphi. When her fellow gods and goddesses reneged on their plans to free their creations from their magical mind control and give them free will, she stripped her own creation (opossums) of their connections to magic, rendering them immune to it entirely. She then absorbed the magic, used it to fight off all the other gods and goddesses, and took all of creation into her pouch. The end result was free will for everyone, at the cost of opossums using magic, and making opossums the scapegoat for all other species, who were confused at what to do with their newfound freedom.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: [[ZigZaggingTrope It zig-zags]]. Poppy is ''well aware'' of her own strength, and treats it like no big deal (to the incredulity of everyone around her).

* FantasticRacism: Opossums are considered the lowest of low classes on Flora. Poppy claims it's because of the CreationMyth at the beginning of the story, but regardless of whether it is or isn't, there's definitely racism toward opossums going about. On the flipside, racism against other species isn't particularly evident.
