~blink-blink~ You have just named a whole slew of cartoons and things that I need to look up... No, you're not old, I'm only 26...soon to be 27, so I wasn't exposed to a lot of stuff. Animaniacs and Tiny Toons I liked, but after that everything else kind of sucked! Still, I have some things to research, along with a ton of other material, so I can relate to your referenced materials. Laurel and Hardy... the fat guy and skinny guy, right?
Yeah, it's easy to loose the story sometimes... damn tangents just lay in wait for the unsuspecting! I can't draw to save my life, so I have to put everything I create into a story. You use lines and color, I use words! It's still fun, though. I've got 12 stories up at the moment ranging from sci-fi to fantasy, and something slice-o-lifeish to mystery/thriller. Working on a big one now that may be more than my talents are capable of, but I can't let it go, or it can't let me go...one of those kinds. When it comes to the erotica content of my writing I can't seem to help throwing a story in with it rather than just putting out wank material. I like porn with plot! Of course, if you ever wanted to read some of my stuff, I wouldn't mind the critique of an artist (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) ;)
I think that's one of the reasons that I got into the writing bit with furry characters; they wouldn't always act or react like a human. That and it's a challenge. Would a given situation have a character reacting through intellect and skills obtained through training, school, etc; or would the character react through instinct garnered from the process of evolution and millennia of adaptation? Or would it be a combination of both? I find this to be a great deal of fun! Then there are the artists like yourself that help me visualize what a character may look like, certain features that despite the level of anthropomorphic development will still show that the base life form was adapted to a specific niche.
Sorry! Didn't mean to write a book in reply! But it is a fun topic for me!
Thanks!

Welllll...I don't collect furry art, nor do I role play, but I do enjoy drawing anthropomorphic stuff. I grew up with Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Tex Avery cartoons, and Laurel & Hardy and The Three Stooges as my comedy sources. When I was a tiny kid, I watched "Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch", "Krofft Supershow" (I liked "Wonderbug" the best, but I've always liked cars), "Scooby Doo", "Speed Buggy" and "Fangface". That was up until the age of eight. I actually stopped watching cartoons when I was in my very early teens (14 or 15), although in later years I might watch an episode of "Tiny Toons" or "Animaniacs" if it happened to be on. I generally don't spend much time in front of the television. I certainly don't watch any modern-day cartoon shows (I don't even use the cable service).
Most of my early "anthropomorphic" stories were actually more science-fiction than anything else. The Skunkworks stuff proved popular, so I spent more time on the porn aspect of it rather than the actual story aspect, and have been struggling to bring the actual stories back to the foreground. I do believe that while both the "Caterwaul" and "Penance" stories feature anthropomorphic characters, they may also appeal to fans of serious crime-noir, action, sci-fi and/or horror stories. Time will tell, I reckon!
