Little Dee

Little Dee is a webcomic by Christopher Baldwin about a little girl lost in the woods who is befriended by three animals. The animals talk; Dee doesn't. 
Publication history.
Begun on June 7, 2004, "Little Dee" is the last of several strips completed by Baldwin in hopes of syndication. His popular and long-running strip "Bruno" was never intended to be syndicated, but Baldwin turned to creating more family-friendly and accessible comics.
On May 30, 2006, "Little Dee" began appearing on Comics.com, beginning with two weeks of "reruns" to initiate new readers. (Comics.com was a service of United Media.) On his website on June 13, 2006, Chris Baldwin stated that the deal is a developmental deal, for "a year, give or take, possibly leaning towards syndication depending on how things go." As of August 8 (possibly earlier) the strip was no longer available on Comics.com.
Each strip was accompanied by a "Buy This Artwork!" link. The art is offered for sale in its original form, without its final shading, usually in two rows (which were combined into one on the web version), 7.75"x10.75" on vellum Bristol paper sized 9" x 12". Once purchased, the name of the buyer replaced the "Buy" link, accompanied by the date and time of purchase.
"Little Dee"'s final strip appeared on Tuesday April 6, 2010. To mark the occasion Baldwin offered a limited edition print of the characters for sale, incorporating a customized sketch and signature for each customer. The edition quickly sold out.
In late May 2010 Baldwin announced that the strip would begin a complete re-run on its original site, "larger and with more annotations", commencing June 7, 2010, the strip's sixth anniversary.
Characters and general plot.
The strip starts with Dee lost in the woods. Lonely, she hugs the first thing she can find, a bear called Ted. Ted can't find it in his heart to eat such a cute girl, so he adopts her, much to the chagrin of his friend Vachel, a vulture. Blake, a domesticated dog who has become feral, convinces the others that they should look for Dee's parents, which they do periodically. The four live together in a cave inexplicably equipped with furniture, running water, and electricity.
Dee's real name is not known; it is the name Ted has given her. Some of their time is spent searching for Dee's parents; much of the rest is spent in the cave or on other adventures.
Reception.
"The Washington Post" termed "Little Dee" "charming," while others called it "innocent and funny" and "age appropriate".
