This might interest some folks around here: The Free Dictionary.com has some very straightforward, no-nonsense articles on furry and furry fandom. Lots of interesting links in those articles, too.

See I actually hate the whole "furry is more serious/realistic looking cartoon animals - funny-animal is less so"

Funny-animals are literally anthropomorphic animals. period.

People read way too far into the 'funny' part. I like funny-animal comedy, but that is by no means a requirement.

Funny-animals dont have to be funny in the same way there is nothing really "funny" about a top fuel funny-car. (in fact the terms mostly come from the same time period, the 60's ..tho "funny animals" might be even older)

Funny cars were called that because of the stretched wheelbase on a stock bodied car. they look strange, or funny, not like a real car. A funny animal is an exagerrated or distorted depiction of an animal (a cartoon depiction).

CURSES! FOILED AGAIN.

I didn't link to anything directly, this time, in an effort to be nice. Let me tell you, however, it's not funny in a ha-ha way, unless you enjoy laughing at third degree mental burn scars.

When I was a kid, I liked horror movies, then after seeing a million of them, they werent so scary. Similiarly, I'm very desensitized to most extreme furry art,

I would most likely find that art directory distasteful, I just don't care to look anymore. I've seen so much sick shit, Im more at the point of wanting to ask the artists directly 'what the fuck thier problem is'

(OTOH I like a lot of pinups and general 'furry art' - minus the totally insane fetishes and other crap)

Usagi Yojimbo.... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?


Those are not furry comics. I never really liked them myself, but geeze... prove to me that they're furry. Usagi and the Turtles have always been a little tongue-in-cheek, so by his definition he is wrong.

Yeah, I guess those definitions of "funny animal" and "furry" don't really hold water. But heck, there are so many different understandings of what "furry" does and does not include.

Funny-animals dont have to be funny in the same way there is nothing really "funny" about a top fuel funny-car. (in fact the terms mostly come from the same time period, the 60's ..tho "funny animals" might be even older)

There's a comic book called Funny Animals, published in the US by Fawcett in 1942 or thereabouts. That could be the origin of the term. Maybe.

You have? Ugh. Did you check out this person's insane fetish comic? I think those drawings are pretty disgusiting. Clicked a few, then ran off.

Damn you Rankin for putting up that link, and damn me for being so curious! I never did learn the lesson goatse should have taught me... BLARGH.

PS: don't click the links above if you've just eaten or plan to do so in the near future. Repeat: BLARGH.

Perhaps I'm just jaded but doesn't make me go blargh, it makes me go what a strange individual. Not my cup of tea though and I certainly wouldn't go that far even for a dare.

That second one has the most fetishes I've ever seen depicted in one image before. I don't know wether to be disgusted or amazed.

Ahhh, the internet. Only a monster like that could vomit things like this. Reminds me of Typhon, and other mythological monsters. They weren't as freaky, I suppose.

It's probably just that I've seen worse and know people who do worse stuff that they don't share. I'm having a meh seen it all before day...

That, and most of us here are pretty jaded when it comes to drawings and the like. When you've seen stuff like that Full Throttle pic, or some of this vore shit, no one can really draw anything that'll shock you anymore. Disgust you? Sure. Annoy you? Probably. Supply you with jokes? Definately. Shock you? Not anymore.

True, then again I've also managed to slog through some of the most horrifying fanfics ever, nothing could compare to some of the underage pedophilic beastialic rape fests some sickos write. This is why I write msts when I've got time.

> The Free Dictionary

Their definitions and information is actually pretty close to the Wikipedia entry for "Furry" that I'd been a major contributor for a few years ago. Needless to say, it has since been severly reduced in content by future edits for some strange reason...
