1. My Furry
Comics Picks
In this section are those I consider the very
best furry comics available online, i.e., not those who feature animals
when they could feature humans in their place (they may be good comics,
yet I don't consider them good furry comics), but rather those
comics which manage to build gags and stories upon the species and
non-human nature of the characters. |
-
A
Doemain of Our Own by Susan Parkin - A very cute
and very creative furry comic strip (and it features deers!).
Exploits often the species of the characters, while still dealing
with every day's life.
- Faux
Pas by Robert & Margaret Carspecken - Another
family oriented strip, with a delicate humor and some importance
given to the differences between the various farm animals.
- Freefall by
Mark Stanley - Having Freefall toppled by Sabrina Online as
Most Read Furry Comic on www.belfry.com sounds like an insult.
Freefall features by far the subtlest and most elegant kind of
humor the furry scene has ever known, as well as original characters
and some real depth of content. The story flows on very
slowly, but the thought-provoking concepts which manage to slip
between one gag and the other widely balance that. Its quality
is so constantly high it's even hard to belive.
-
Microcosm
- Anthro insects, worms, and snails! Original and definitely
furry IMHO. Sadly it is now down due to personal problems of
the author, but I hope it will return one day...

3. Art, Science, Culture
Links
That is, anything which can be useful into an
artist's links library. |
- Anonima
Fumetti - The Italian centre for Comic Arts (pages mostly
in Italian).
- The
Human Languages Page - Excellent collection of links dealing
with many languages, including lesser ones.
- The
Internet Sacred Text Archive - An amazing compendium
with dozens of full mythological and religious texts, all
downloadable for free! I teleported
this site on first sight, and I warmly suggest to do the same
to every artist around. It's just too good to endure long, the
dream of every person seriously interested in mythology and exotic
art!
- Google
- Don't forget search engines are now so sophisticated they work
effectively as indexes of a single huge encyclopedia. Informations
about most anything can be found through Google, providing the
spelling of the terms is known. There are many tricks (easily
learnt with experience and minimal knowledge of the search engines
principles) which can help to refine searches and to get the best
out of them.
- Guide
to Philosophy on the Internet - Links and search engines.
- Logic
& Fallacies - Don't let the "Atheis Web"
mark trick you: logic is logic. Here is a compendium of common
reasoning errors, very useful for writers.
- ScottMcCloud.com
- Site of Scott Mc Cloud, cartoonist and author of the excellent
"Understanding Comics" essays. While his site is mostly
dedicated to his comic works, I highly recommend the book, it's
something many furry artist should really read and learn
from. Reading this book it became even more evident to me how
much limited and secluded the furry art scene currently is. And
here I'm talking especially to the "furry pros", which
of all furry artists seem to be those less willing to experiment
and more interested in keeping the situation static and money-driven
as it is. It's not surprising that the furry scene is evovling
so slowly, when you see most newcomers taking right the acknowledged
"top notch furry artists" who behave this way as their
models, rather than looking around in the comics/art world and
discovering what the true potential of visual arts is...
