"Ask Papabear"
"Ask Papabear" is a furry advice column by Grubbs, which debuted January 2012 on the Furry News Network before moving to its own site in May 2012. Described as a "furry advice column written by a furry," the column is intended to be reminiscent of the old "Dear Abby" advice page, seeking to help furries with personal problems and questions about the fandom.
