Other "Furry" Comics Out There?

Post by theGreatMutoh »

Was wondering if anyone knew of any other "furry" type comics out there that were worth taking a look at. So far all I could find were ones either out of print or they were not really my cup of tea, too adult oriented for my tastes.

Online wise, I do enjoy Jack but note, it is very adult and somewhat religiously toned (though as an athiest it doesn't worry me at all that the concepts of heaven and hell are not things I beleive in).

Mouse Guard and Mice Templar are both fantastic.

There's an alternate world in Tomo which has a furry characters in it. I should know, I helped create and write it. :) It is manga / graphic novel format and published by Zonderkidz.

I don't read very many furry/"funny animal" comics aside from UY, but I think that Lackadaisy Cat is a pretty good one:

Wow, very impressed with Lackadaisy! The artwork is tight. Any chances of it actually seeing print in a book?

I don't mind the mature or religious overtones so much, it's just the "sexuality" you sometimes tend to see in comics. My opinion is it just doesn't belong, but to each their own.

Is Albedo still an ongoing series? If so, who publishes it?

I talked to Mike Curtis, publisher of Shanda Fantasy Arts, a couple of weeks ago at Anthrocon. He's waiting for a next issue from Steve Gallacci.

Well, yes, "Maus" is highly to be recommended; as far as I know it is the first comic book to win a Pulitzer Price....

But I would neither call it furry (although people(s) are represented by animals) nor funny (is has it's funny moments, but the overall tone is, well, solemn.). If you don't know it yet, go and give it a try; and if possible, try to get "The complete Maus" as a HC, even if it means spending a buck more than you first intended; you'll end up reading it again and again, and that tends to mean additional tear and wear for a TPB... :wink:

Other than that I can't give you any hints, as most comics I read are German translations of Franco-Belgian comics or other European comics...
...and I don't know if any of those are translated into English.
Oh, yes, Steve already mentioned Blacksad...very good!
