He's the one on the right

JR (an abbreviation of his original alias, Jackrabbit; born October 15th, 1968) is a furry who lives in Orlando, Florida, United States. His real name is Dan Boatright. His fursona is a hare.

JR is best known as the puppeteer behind Poink T. Ferret on the Funday PawPet Show. He also did a character named Bambi Voop, longtime bimbo for Poink, whose tenure on the show ended when Poink finally sold her on Ebay. Recently, JR introduced a new character to the show, Hugh Manatee. On the show, he provides Poink's usual blend of audacious and sometimes perverse insight, as well as appearing as himself in numerous bits on the show.

JR is also an aspiring standup comedian, and he opened for 2 the Ranting Gryphon at Anthrocon 2007.

JR maintains a LiveJournal as his alter-ego, Poink, and it's normally a place for him to post silliness, with the occasional RL situation thrown in. Also, JR has been involved in operations for Megaplex since the convention's inception, originally handling both advertising and the charity auction, aside from performing and general hands-on assistance at the convention itself. Currently, he has accepted the role as Programming Director for Megaplex.

JR also records 3 to 5 minute segments as his ferret alter-ego that he uploads on a weekly basis, called the Poinkcast, a podcast located at this RSS feed or as downloadable mp3s, available at this site. They are more mature in nature than his work on the Funday PawPet Show, and contain some strong language and a stronger lean towards dark comedy. Also, the Poinkcast is a segment on the 2 Sense show since February 2008.

JR is also a fursuiter, having received a fursuit of his Jack Rabbit fursona from Chilly, in celebration of his fortieth birthday.[1] In this costume, JR acted as a "Subservient" with Chilly (as Barley the Rabbit) on episode 391 (October 12, 2008) of the Funday PawPet Show.[2]
