[http://xkcd.com/471/ #471] discusses the ridicule of furries on the Internet. The main speaker asks the fur to help her fly a kite; while describing the fur's "fetish" as "weird as hell", she points out the double standard of people treating furries as the "designated Internet punching bag", when they "are otherwise down with weird fetishes".

[http://xkcd.com/540/ #540] again mentions furries in the context of relationships and a baseball field. [[Fursuit]]s are seen to be just left of second base (''"Hands under shirt and/or licking"'') but to the right of "The Orgasm Line". Conversely, crotchless fursuits are seen on the left of "The Orgasm Line".

[http://xkcd.com/541/ #541] states that the character shown is banned from "Every American [[convention|Furry Convention]]".

[http://xkcd.com/629/ #629] talks about 'skins', a sub-group of furries that like to roleplay furries who imagine being [[human]]s and dress up as them

[http://xkcd.com/919/ #919] has a character attempting to cram as many of "the most hated English words"<ref>[http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=72378 0919: "Tween Bromance"] - discussion thread on the xkcd forums. Retrieved July 21, 2011</ref> as possible into one sentence, and comes up with: "By my guesstimate, my frenemy [[yiff]]ed so hard her moist taint made her panties preggers!"

[http://xkcd.com/1138/ #1138] expresses the author's peeve about "Geographic Profile Maps Which Are Basically Just Population Maps". (A presenter is shown pointing to three identical geographic profile maps, depicting "Our Site's Users", "Subscribers to ''[[Wikipedia:Martha Stewart Living|Martha Stewart Living]]''", and "Consumers of [[Pornography|Furry Pornography]]".)
