'''Fuzzy Things''' is a [[webcomic]] created by [[furry artist]] Jonathan Sario, which updates every Monday. There are over 1000 strips as of July 2007 and a special strip animated in [[Wikipedia:Adobe_Flash|Adobe Flash]] is being worked on.

As the author admits in comic #945, he "SUCKS" at [[Wikipedia:onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]] in his comics.

== Premise ==

The comic follows a cast of several children of various [[species]] who live in a town called '''Russetville'''. The comic centers around their day to day lives, which often involves getting into (and out of) trouble. Also included are the parents of the main characters. Some are not around due to living situation, or other problems. The comic has several science fiction undertones, as the world the characters live in is rather advanced (sporting technology such as beam swords, hover vehicles, and force-fields).

Two separate storylines have developed under the same title, '''Fuzzy Things Original''', and the new series as '''Fuzzy Things Reversion''' (Now simply referred to as '''Fuzzy Things''').

==== Fuzzy Things Original ====

The original storyline contained many supernatural elements (telekinesis, superhuman abilities). It followed the zany adventures of seven six year olds: Fox, Maegan, Hero, Maxi, Rex, Blue, and Ixiah. The main focus of the comic was a series of rather dangerous adventures that the kids would get themselves into. Mono and Shiva, main characters from Reversion, make an appearance at the very end of the original series.

==== Fuzzy Things Reversion ====

The Reversion storyline was a rather drastic change from the original. In the new series, characters no longer had supernatural powers, and the focus of the storylines was shifted towards more general mischief. The main characters are six years old for the first part of the series, and eight years old in the current part. There is a bit of fanservice paid towards the old series. From time to time, storylines will feature the characters imagining situations similar to those in the original series.

==== About the Series Change ====

In April 2001, the comic storyline made a drastic change in that all of the character's whereabouts and histories were completely changed (a [[wikipedia:Retcon|retcon]].) Cchristian explained the change in a conversation on the [[WikiFur IRC]]:
{{q|<cchristianDraco> how do I explain how the comic completely changed course in April 2001? [...] lol[,] well what happened was the characters had superpowers kind of (more than in the current ones, back then they could fly and throw energy balls now they are pretty normal) [...] anyway[,] they went after these funny stones (like in DragonBallZ) and when they gathered them together, they summoned a funny little spirit being who could "change destiny itself" *flash* and then they were all 8 year olds in a world that was a decade or two earlier tech /evolution wise, and their situations had changed[,] and they didn't remember anything [...] THE END}}

Recently, five teenagers have started runs as main characters, they are the older versions (sometimes siblings) of the main characters. they are:
<div style="clear:both"></div>
*'''Ixiah Kitsunei''' - Fox's older brother in Reversion, appeared occasionally starting in the second reversion comic
*'''Quino "Q" Kyuman''' - A perverted and rude [[duck]]
*'''Lambert Tameheart''' - A [[sheep]], also called '''Bleet''' and '''CottonBall'''
*'''Maryane Abriel''' - A [[wolf]], much stronger than other characters (in similar fashion to the first two issues)
*'''Effene Acelyn''' - A fox who is Maryane's friend

==== Incidental characters (adults, parents, teachers...) ====

Adult figures appear very scarcely, apparently there is little emphasis on adult supervision on the planet. When they do appear, it is either as extras, or as main characters in short stories. A good list of times when adults are main characters:

*Fox and Maegan's dads - They meet at the beginning of series 3
*Hero and Maxi's parents - They make an appearance in Arc #26
*Maxi's Aunt (Kat) and Roommate (Doug) - The duo babysit the Kids in Arc #30, They also act as foster parents for Ixiah in the original sotryline
*Ms. Pegasia - The teacher for the 6/8 year old group, both in the Original and Reversion series, plays a role in the more school related arcs.
