<br />
'''Joshua Quagmire''', nee '''Richard Lester''' (1952-2023) was a [[greymuzzle]] [[furry artist]], best known for his superpowered [[character]] [[Cutey Bunny]]. Alternatively known as '''QT Bunny''', he self-published a number of [[comic]]s starring her with various supporting characters, dating back to the early 1980's. Cutey Bunny also appeared in several early issues of ''[[Huzzah]]'', as well as ''[[Critters]]'' (including issue #1).<br />
<br />
<br />
Quagmire, who lived in [[wikipedia:Hollywood, Los Angeles, California|West Los Angeles]], maintained a Cutey Bunny website, but otherwise kept a low profile from the 90s onwards.<br />
<br />
<br />
From 2012, Josh did an online strip called ''Bunz & Katz'', following the humorous adventures of a couple of alien "invaders" on planet Earth. Josh continued this strip until just before his death in May 2023, which was announced by [[Taral Wayne]] among others. <br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
Many old-timers in the [[furry fandom]] are aware of Joshua's insistence that some artists infringed on his copyright and trademark property. In particular, he maintained that cartoonist [[Jeff Wood]] stole his Cutey Bunny character to create [[SnowBuni]]. Wood denies the charges, citing ancestry in [[anime]] fandom, and a substantial publishing history behind his own character. The matter has never been litigated.<br />
