Other comics

Post by RaptorAnton »

Do you, guys, read any other furry comics? (I mean, when you are free from reading our favorite Housepets;))
Serfing the internet, I found two interesting comics.
The first was "Furthia High".
And the second... uh... I'm ashamed to talk about it... And I don't really sure, that I'm even allowed to speak about this comic, as we are having a PG here...
Let's say so, this comic won UMA2008 as "Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip"...
-*-*-*-
So, what other furry comics do you read?
Give links, please, and not only names.

p.s. And for the love of ... Please, dont google for "UMA2008 "Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip"")) Really, don't do it!

well, i started off on Ozy and Millie, but its done and looking back the last five years of that comic sucked. and i found this one later on, so lets see:

I also read Furthia High, sorta a guilty pleasure imo.
Tiny Kitten Teeth is amazing, go read it.
Vinci and Arty is lots of fun.
SSDD is confusing as hell, but i try and keep up anyway.
Sorta follow Newshounds, but not really.
I read through Sabrina once, kinda liked it.
VG Cats, but i stopped reading it.
twokinds- interesting concept, poor POOR execution

Otherwise, thats about it for webcomics I keep up with. I have been urged to read Perry Bible Fellowship, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

Weird and well drawn? I think that you found what you was searching))
Fur-pilled (is that what you found?) is a very weird comic, but also really well drawn. You may have a look at it, but you shouldn't read it.
My topic is about FURRY comics. And your is about any comics. Feel the difference))

It's not mine, it was made by BeyondUshuaia, and there's no difference except for the scope of potential discussion in this topic being lessened. BUT ANYWAY.

This topic is fine because the other topic is dead. I did not link it to say "oh you should post there". I linked it to say "some people have already mentioned what comics they read, so you can check that topic out for more things to talk about in this topic". Feel the difference.

Hmm, should I say you "sorry"?

p.s. And I need a little help in translating one phrase. "Clueless hunk". I saw this in one comic but I'm not really sure what is it, and google-translator can't help me with that.

Yeah, that is the same like google translated to me, genious)) I said that google can't help me, cause translation seems to be wrong... I mean, it doesn't fit situation, where it was said... (just for fun, try to copy your eng-rus translation and translate it back rus-eng. You will see that translation is wrong...)

Yes, I posted what GT said because it's right. Depending on the context clueless can also mean неопытный and желторотый, whereas hunk can refer both to a big piece/chunk or a handsome guy.

To get this topic back into its tracks again, where did you find that?

Yay, that's the one. I mean, I use a bit of strong language in the comics I make, but more in the extremely loony style of, say, vgcats, rather than whatever the purpose of that comic :shock: is.

At the comic "Faux Pas", two vixens were speaking about male fox. I don't remember what strip it was, maybe I'll find it later...

Re: Other comics

It's not random.

It's a metaphor for the environment of the planet and humans' reactions to climate change. See, towards the beginning of this planet's existence it was heavily volcanically active, hence the explosion. The words "totally awesome eagle" are used to introduce the fact that the eagle is an allegory of the environment, since an eagle is something we see as free and unrestricted, which the environment is also similarly unrestricted. The use of 'totally awesome' is to make reference to the immature 'pop' science that is being propagated in reference to the environment today.

In the next three panels, we see how for a very long time the 'eagle', or the environment of the planet (essentially the global climate) goes back and forth in a dynamic (continually changing) state. The use of a skateboard in a half-pipe is used to demonstrate not only the speed of the changes but also that the whole planet appears to follow a pattern of climate changes looping constantly. The use of the basically repeated panels is to emphasize the fact that this natural transitioning is in place for many millions of years.

The last two panels are where the focus lies, however. We have already had demonstrated to us the dynamic nature of the planet's climate, however in the final panel of this, the climate is depicted as having gone higher than before. In the panel after this, we have the eagle screaming 'aw yeah'. Now, given that we have already defined the eagle as being the climate, this would not usually make sense. However, one should note that the bald eagle is the American national animal - while this eagle is not bald, the sentiment remains in it as a representation of the populace in this context. In this new light, the last panel makes a whole lot more sense. As the background appears clearly to be similar to the shape of a sun, clearly alluding to the rising global temperature we are presently experiencing. However, this is not the point of the panel, and we can see that the added heat is in fact not affecting the eagle directly nor is it relevant enough to be the subject of the panel. Despite the obvious lack of importance of the temperature, in addition to what we have been shown of the planet's history, the populace is crying out against this which is represented by the 'aw', and agreeing with each other constantly, represented by the 'yeah'. The eagle appears to be in a deeply-rooted fear for its life, despite the fact it is wearing a helmet that has scratches to show it has encountered worse before. This is to say that us, as humans, have experienced much worse conditions in the past and survived yet despite this we still have, as I mentioned prior, a deeply-rooted fear of change - especially the change of something we see as so important as the climate of our planet.

Clearly, the sentiment is to challenge the fact that despite billions of years of natural change, we as humans are so afraid of the pseudo-science behind modern day climate change that we have resolved to stop the planet's natural climate change altogether, which is something that would be wholly devastating for it and to that extent us.

The humour is in the sarcastic mockery of our nature and at the same time is a politically-motivated speaking out against the attitude held towards climate change in the present day.

However, this is not the point of the panel, and we can see that the added heat is in fact not affecting the eagle directly nor is it relevant enough to be the subject of the panel. Despite the obvious lack of importance of the temperature, in addition to what we have been shown of the planet's history, the populace is crying out against this which is represented by the 'aw', and agreeing with each other constantly, represented by the 'yeah'. The eagle appears to be in a deeply-rooted fear for its life, despite the fact it is wearing a helmet that has scratches to show it has encountered worse before. This is to say that us, as humans, have experienced much worse conditions in the past and survived yet despite this we still have, as I mentioned prior, a deeply-rooted fear of change - especially the change of something we see as so important as the climate of our planet.

Clearly, the sentiment is to challenge the fact that despite billions of years of natural change, we as humans are so afraid of the pseudo-science behind modern day climate change that we have resolved to stop the planet's natural climate change altogether, which is something that would be wholly devastating for it and to that extent us.

The humour is in the sarcastic mockery of our nature and at the same time is a politically-motivated speaking out against the attitude held towards climate change in the present day.
I want to reply with a quote from comic
"Come on, you can't read that much into a picture, can you?"
And with a second quote from the same strip:
"I think you're overreacting..."

Besides this one, only two 'furry' comics I really care about.
