Jewel Vixens is a furry webcomic co-written by Aelius and Steven Swanson, the comic's main artist. It follows the adventures of eight anthropomorphic vixens living in the 1970s as models while working as undercover agents for a mysterious benevolent organization called "F.U.T.U.R.E."
Jewel Vixens parodies 1960s and 1970s spy media such as Danger: Diabolik, James Bond, Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible. It also references local pop culture of the era and employs many popular stereotypes of the era in a comedic fashion while at the same time lampooning the popularity of vixens within the furry fandom and vixen jokes.
The Jewel Vixens fight villains such as the Evil Blue Dude, who lives with his mom and runs the malevolent organization "S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M.", and his lieutenants, of which Evil Pink, Purple Lotus, Citronella Vindaloo, Mean Green and Furious Fuchsia are known. Each lieutenant represents a colorized division of S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M. with particular practices and evil machinations.
Jewel Vixens is primarily a comedic comic, but at times has serious content. It maxes out at a PG-14 rating for its use of firearms, innuendo and comic mischief.
