I don't get this comic. Is this supposed to be a slice of life furry comic or some kind of sex education story using furry characters? It's weird that the anthropomorphic animals have some of the same characteristics as non-anthro animals. Presumably inter-species relationships are a thing in this universe, but if the partners have incompatible genitalia, how will that work? Such are the existential questions stupid comics raise.
Someone gave it to us; it was professionally published similar to Antarctic but it's a company called Shanda Fantasy Arts that I think existed solely to publish stories about Shanda the Panda.
In fact both this story and the "Jer Bear NO" story are from different Shanda the Panda annuals. You'll note a character named "Yoyo" is referenced in this story; that's actually the bunny daughter in the Grateful Dead story.
Of course... Shanda, that's where I recall Mike Curtis. A friend (who died a couple of years ago) did some work for him on one of the Shanda books. My friend was glad that Mike got the Tracy gig.
Looks like a ripoff of Omaha the Cat Dancer.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't necessarily call it a ripoff but I'd say it's definitely influenced by it.

ReplyDeleteI think it started out as slice of life and somehow got derailed into thinking way too much about animal genitalia. I have no idea
DeleteI wish I could "Unsee" this comic.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find this comic? Was this something self-published or through a company like Antarctic Press?

DeleteIs the writer the same Mike Curtis who is currently writing Dick Tracy?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I see a similarity to "Omaha" and Reed Waller's work. At first glance, though, I was reminded of that "Jerry Garcia died" comic.
Yes it is the same guy!

DeleteDick Tracy, more like, (descriptions of) barbed furry dicks
DeleteWhy does this exist
