<br />
It is about a [[fox]] named Jack Black and various other [[anthropomorphic]] animal characters living in a high tech future world. Jack is a traveling engineer, roaming from one assignment to the next, repairing equipment for TLATech in his high powered 2066 Thunderbird.<br />
<br />
The web comic's characters often use the expletive "Jonny Freakinouter!", usually to express surprise.<br />
<br />
== The Story So Far ==<br />
{{spoiler}}<br />
<br />
(As of August 15, 2005)<br />
<br />
Jack Black, a fox, and Cecil Stuart, a [[giraffe]], are travelling from town to town in Jack’s Ford Thunderbird, working as field engineers for TLATech. One night, while they are performing at open mike night at Café Kimba, Cecil meets a pair of lady giraffes, Barb Kendall and Beth Regina, and immediately makes an impression on them. Jack, however, is reminded of his inability to make an impression on a [[vixen]]. <br />
<br />
A moment later, an unknown vixen walks into the café and immediately makes an impression on him, but leaves before Jack musters the courage to talk to her. He is further discouraged when he finds out that the mystery vixen is an engineer and a gearhead and like him, "as rare and precious as diamonds and more sought after than magnetic monopoles," and therefore almost certainly in a relationship already. <br />
<br />
The next day, Jack and Cecil are on the road again, and Barb and Beth go into their jobs at Lockheed Martin Textron, where they meet one of their coworkers – the mystery vixen! It becomes apparent that she is just as gun-shy as Jack when it comes to relationships. <br />
<br />
Jack and Cecil have encountered many challenging situations in their jobs, including the pint-sized offices of Advanced Miceco Devices (and equally small technician Joe Maus) and the laboratory of (very!) mad scientist Dr. Tangent, but they soon are faced with an even greater challenge: Hurricane Liska, which is quickly approaching the Gulf Coast of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]]. Also facing Liska is the mystery vixen from the café, whose part-time employer, Bali Hai Aviation, is on backup search-and-rescue duty. <br />
<br />
Inevitably, the call comes in for a rescue. Jack, an injured Cecil, and several others are trapped on top of a highway overpass that is getting smaller and smaller as floodwaters rise. The mystery vixen takes off in a [[Wikipedia:Cessna|Cessna]] Kingfisher tilt-rotor rescue plane in the company of Veronica Desmond, a vampire bat paramedic friend of Cecil’s.<br />
<br />
At the overpass, the mood is tense, sometimes interrupted by characters’ renditions of [[Wikipedia:Gilbert and Sullivan|Gilbert & Sullivan]] songs with interesting lyrics. The pressure exerted on Jack gets stronger when he discovers that his Thunderbird has sustained heavy damage and that he has been unanimously voted "alpha" - he is now responsible for everybody’s lives. Thankfully, the Kingfisher arrives; unfortunately, even after dumping both fuel and equipment, the craft would still be about a hundred pounds overweight with everybody on board. Bravely, Jack decides to remain.<br />
<br />
After safely delivering everybody to the airport, the mystery vixen returns to rescue Jack, who, thanks to his car’s ultralight construction, has managed to keep himself and the ditched equipment afloat. After finding out that everybody is safe, Jack’s adrenaline runs out and he promptly falls asleep. <br />
<br />
When he awakes, he and the mystery vixen discuss his current project for TLATech: a three-hundred kilometre tall "Buckyvator" tower, to be used to launch satellites and for use as a generator using energy from the solar wind. Just before she is about to introduce herself, Jack falls asleep again.<br />
<br />
Upon awaking in the hospital, Jack first arranges for his mechanic, Craig Breedlove, to pick up his car for a heavy overhaul, then goes on a search for Cecil. He finds Cecil in the company of Barb, Beth, and the mystery vixen, whose identity is revealed: Dr. Jenny Curtis, PhD (advanced aerospace propulsion - she’s a rocket scientist). Cecil’s skull is fractured at one of his horns, and he requires a reinforcing pin to correct the problem, requiring a concealed carry permit. This puts him in the middle of a morals debate with an anti-weapons activist and a pro-weapons activist.<br />
<br />
While Cecil recuperates from his operation, Jack and Jenny go to the garage to find out what shape Jack’s car is in. Jack tries conversation, but Jenny seems very secretive about herself. Things don’t improve when Jack discovers that they are being followed. After escaping their followers, they arrive at the garage. Jack’s car is heavily damaged, and needs to be re-engined. Thanks to Craig’s connections at Ford, the new engine will be a twin Magneto-Hydrodynamic Turboshaft–but with the afterburners removed to make it street-legal. In exchange for the engines, Jack, Cecil, and Jenny need to deliver two classic cars that Craig and Earl Jeffries at Ford are swapping. On the way there, they drive a 1907 roadster quickly nicknamed [[Wikipedia:Chitty Chitty Bang Bang|Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]. On the way back, a 1923 American LaFrance fire engine.<br />
<br />
During the trip to the Ford engine test plant, Jenny begins to trust Jack, something she has a lot of trouble doing. However, on the way back, she shows signs of closing up again, especially after the others joke about bionic implants. She claims that she has bad memories of a friend who required bionics after a test plane crash, and whose behaviour changed completely for the worse. <br />
<br />
Her memories become even more vivid and painful when she, Jack, and Cecil find themselves required to save people in a major car crash involving a burning explosives truck and a drunk driver lion; the driver gets in a fight with Jack and loses, the lion dying in the process. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Jenny blames herself for causing the fight between Jack and the drunk lion. She fears that Jack is angry with her and blames her, but he doesn’t. Jenny confesses that the friend who was in the accident was actually her boyfriend, who got jealous easily, got in fights over her, and then vented his anger by verbally and physically abusing her. Jack reassures her that he isn’t angry with her, and promises not to get in fights over her, but the scars still remain. Fortunately, Jenny trusts Jack a lot more.<br />
<br />
While on their way home after the accident, Jack, Jenny, and Cecil make a stop at the location of one of Jenny’s projects: Kenedy Spaceport. However, Jack is detained by security because of an inconsistency in his paperwork. Ever since he defeated the lion in a "duel," under leonine species law, Jack has officially been a lion, because lions refuse to admit defeat to any other species. His papers reflect this change, but he is still a fox. The only way he can enter the Spaceport is if he becomes a member of Jenny’s "skulk," similar to a wolf pack. This is a great sign of trust for Jenny, especially as it requires scent-marking, but they are both willing to be closer together. Unfortunately, while in the process of scent-marking, they are discovered by Col. Tora Scobee, head of the Spaceport’s security - and Jenny’s abusive ex-fiancé. <br />
<br />
Jenny initially cowers in fear at his continuing verbal abuse, but soon gets strong enough to tell him that, once and for all, they are over. Tora threatens them both until Barb, Beth, and Cecil arrive–all of whom are more than ten feet (30.5 m) taller than him and could easily [http://techfox.comicgenesis.com/d/20020610.html "play Monty Python with his skull"], her foot replacing the Foot of Cupid in the panel, crushing Tora. With his pride sprained, Tora backs away. (The referance is mentioned '''''after''''' the altercation.)<br />
<br />
Jack soon becomes welcome at the Lockheed Martin Textron offices at the Spaceport, even upgrading the software on the Lindbergh space probe, which uses ramjets designed by Jenny. While Jenny works, Jack also manages to find an alternate site for the three-hundred kilometre tower, not far away from the Spaceport. He and Jenny become much closer, as do Barb, Beth, and Cecil, who are now engaged. Unfortunately, the happiness comes to an abrupt halt when Jack is kidnapped by lions the Spaceport. Tora was in he process of giving the order to shoot down the getaway plane with Jack onboard, but was knocked out by Beth.<br />
Unfortunately, due to Tora Scobee's titanium skull, [http://techfox.comicgenesis.com/d/20021030.html Beth chipped a hoof as a result.]<br />
<br />
Jack’s captors are the Rutherington-Smythe family of Britain, owners of the DeBeers mining corporation. When Jack defeated their son Lance in the fight, he inherited a position on DeBeers’ board of directors, all of Lance’s possessions, and several enemies, none of whom the Rutherington-Smythes want in their family or their company. Jack doesn’t want it, but the only way he can legally get out of his predicament is by losing to another male lion in a duel. He could abdicate to a female lion, but it won’t be recognized by the lions’ traditional and restrictive laws on women. These lions are especially troublesome as they are Kenyan by birth, and more traditional than most other lions.<br />
<br />
Jack and the lioness that kidnapped him, his "sister" Galore, plot to enable Galore to replace Jack on DeBeers’ board and in the Rutherington-Smythe family’s line of inheritance. Their plot involves a geothermal power plant to extract precious metals from seawater on the Gulf Coast of Texas, and along the way they make an enemy within the company - Arthur Andersen, DeBeers’ Chief Financial Officer. Jenny crosses the Atlantic to join Jack, and she, Jack, Galore, Galore’s father (the CEO of DeBeers), and other DeBeers executives make their way to Texas to observe the groundbreaking ceremony of the metals extraction plant.<br />
<br />
When they all arrive in Texas, Galore meets an American lion, John King, and is impressed by the way American lions treat their women compared to British and Kenyan lions. Jack and Jenny told her that things were different in America, but she wasn’t expecting this. She is now more and more interested in staying in America. Jenny, meanwhile, is still having doubts about Jack because of her past experiences with Tora, but after a conversation with Beth, decides that she is ready to leave her past behind and can fully trust Jack.<br />
<br />
At the groundbreaking ceremony for the plant, a tunnel boring machine being used for the project starts operating without being controlled by its operator. It appears that the machine is running out of control, but in fact, it is being operated by Arthur Andersen, who is trying to sabotage the project and wrestle control of the company away from the Rutherington-Smythes. When that doesn’t work, he tries to shoot anyone he can, but Cecil remotely enables the safety lock. In the end, Arthur Andersen ends up under a large mound of earth–placed on top of him by a bulldozer controlled by Jack. <br />
<br />
In the hospital, Jack discovers from Galore’s father that by defeating Arthur Andersen in a duel (when he was really just trying to save himself), Jack has also inherited Andersen’s possessions, job, and wives. Jack, frustrated, abdicates his position to Galore, which is illegal in Britain but not in America. Fortunately, Galore has no intention of going home.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, things begin to settle down. Cecil, Barb, and Beth get married at last, and have their honeymoon at the hotel on the Rutan Space Station. There, Cecil meets a pair of familiar faces: Joe Maus and Veronica Desmond. While Jack and Cecil were having fun in a hurricane and delivering vintage cars, Joe got a job with Applied Marsupials and was assigned to their silicon wafer manufacturing facility on the Moon. There, he met Veronica, an EMT trying to become a doctor. The two became close friends and wanted to be more than friends, but did not say anything to each other because of Applied Marsupials’ no fraternization policy. However, after aiding in a spacecraft crash rescue, they admit their feelings to each other. Their boss, realizing what is going on, sends them to Rutan Space Station on a vacation because of their “post-traumatic stress syndrome” from the recovery mission.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, back on the Earth, Jack is observing the beginning stages of TLATech’s 300 kilometre tall tower. A major problem is the hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk littering the atmosphere that could possibly strike the tower and damage it. The solution is getting access to the flightpaths of space junk in lower orbits to intercept them and clear them out of the way. The problem is the only person they can get help from is Col. Tora Scobee. <br />
<br />
He reluctantly agrees to help, and is paired up with Ayesha Ansari, a Bengal tiger, who takes an instant dislike to him - and vice-versa. His antagonistic shell begins to crack when he finds out that Ms. Ansari has cybernetic implants like he does, and at her encouragement, he begins to ponder biological alternatives to his cybernetic limbs.<br />
<br />
Problems begin to arise when members of the Disney Fundamentalist Church protest the construction of the tower. The Disney Fundamentalist Church is, at its core, anti-technology, but normally peaceful. The real worry lies in a sect led by terrorist John Walker Bambi, who attempts two intercepted terrorist attacks against the project, injuring several (including Ms. Ansari and Jenny’s boss) but killing only a handful of his followers - not that he misses them. <br />
<br />
Jack and Col. Scobee reluctantly work together and team up with security agency SHADO to prevent further damage and arrest John Walker Bambi, which they do. Bambi is speedily put on trial and imprisoned on public display to humiliate him in front of everybody.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* The comic archive also includes a special section for very early comics. The art is not fantastic, and sometimes the dialogue is difficult to read, but the comics are worth the read if you want to know more about Veronica and Slick Willy Nixon.<br />
* In 2002, a reader contacted Scott about the possibility of hosting high-resolution copies of 21CF on his server after seeing original art from the comic and realizing how much detail was lost when the comics were compressed to make them download-friendly. Scott agreed, and [http://www.hirezfox.com/21cf/index.html HiRezFox] was born. In addition to 21CF, HiRezFox is now home to almost a dozen artists, authors, and musicians.<br />
* In her earlier appearances, Veronica Desmond is about as tall as Jack. However, when she shows up on Tombaugh Moon Station, she is the size of Joe Maus. Between these appearances, Scott was informed that vampire bats are not very large, as he initially believed. In her later appearances, Veronica appears her normal size.<br />
* 21st Century Fox has featured cameos by characters from several comics, including [[Freefall]], [[Kevin and Kell]], and [[Newshounds]]. Likewise, the characters have also appeared in several other comics, including [[Cross Time Cafe|Cross-Time Café]] and the alternate-universe spin-offs [[Of Mouse and Moon]], [[Pirates of Penumbra]], and [[Carry On]] drawn by Scott’s fiancee [[Kathy Garrison]].<br />
* Several items from science fiction and pop culture have appeared in 21st Century Fox, including a map of the [[Wikipedia:London Underground|London Underground]], HAL’s eye from [[Wikipedia:2001: A Space Odyssey|2001]], the sonic screwdriver from [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]], and Col. Scobee’s test plane accident is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:The Six Million Dollar Man|The Six Million Dollar Man]].<br />
<br />
==Quotes==<br />
<br />
* Jack: "You can’t build a 300 kilometer tall tower in a hurricane."<br />
<br />
* Jenny: (about America) "I’ve lived pretty much my entire life there, without once seeing a gunfight."<br />
<br />
* Joe: "Better to have never loved at all than to have an unrequited love suck all the blood from your soul."<br />

'''Anita "Buzz" Brambles''' is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[bunny]] on [[FurryMUCK]] who is best known for two traits. When new [[furs]] meet her, they are inevitably attracted to her oversized bosom (a trait intentionally added by her creator, [[Angry Dave]]). However, Buzz is more well-known on Furry for her personality: she's a Southern Belle bunny (with a heavy accent) who is seen as sweet, amiable, and prone to giving big, soft, and bosomy [[hug]]s. (She is also generally not a [[yiffy]] [[character]], preferring conversation to outright [[TinySex]]).<br />
<br />
Her nickname comes from the fact that she is depicted as having a short, military-style "buzz cut" hairdo.<br />

Roxikat

<p>Blackroo1967: /* Good Roxi */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Roxikat''' was created in 1995, and is the most-noted character and sometimes [[fursona]] of noted [[furry artist]] [[John Barrett]]. Roxikat is a well-endowed [[anime fur|pink]] [[Wikipedia:Shemale|shemale]] [[cat]], who has two completely different personas: "Good Roxi" and "Naughty Roxi." (This is based on a joke in one of her adult folios of the same name, a parody of the Goofus and Gallant cautionary comics from [[Highlights magazine|''Highlights'' magazine]]) Roxikat has been in several comics and drawings, both penned by her creator and by others. The first piece of fan art was from [[Ken Sample]] in 1995 and may have jumpstarted the character's popularity.<br />
<br />
== Good Roxi ==<br />
<br />
As 'Good Roxi', Roxikat is sweet and playful, almost childlike in her innocence. In John's own work, Roxi speaks in the third person and punctuates many of her sentences with a feline 'myah' sound (mee-yeah in one syllable), which sounds like the cabbit in the Tenchi Muyo! series. From 1996-1999, Roxi appeared in the Furthest North Crew APAzine (later posted on his VCL page) in a Trekky spoof comic story called Roxikat's Myah. Here he created his closer-to-life fursona Johnnykat and had cameos of friends and other fanzine contributors. <br />
<br />
This version of Roxikat appears in the [[webcomic]]s ''[[A Doemain Of Our Own]]'' and ''[[Misty the Mouse]]'' (as a background character). She's also had small cameos in ''[[Extinctioners]]'' and appears now and then on the [[Second Life]] virtual hangout as the character '''Roxikat Muse'''.<br />
<br />
John has even [[fursuit]]ed as Roxikat at [[Anthrocon]] and once at [[Further Confusion]], participating in the [[Masquerade]] in lip-sync acts and comedy shorts off-and-on for a decade.<br />
<br />
== Naughty Roxi ==<br />
<br />
As 'Naughty Roxi', Roxikat is almost an entirely different person. This version of Roxikat is overendowed, oversexed, and overeager. The adult art of the [[hyperfur]] Roxikat shows odd body-modifications that are inspired by Roxi's online adventures on adult [[MUCK]] roleplay hangouts. Roxi first appeared online as a female, but the male player later preferred to roleplay the character as a [[herm]] and more recently as a shemale. The changes were inspired by the artwork of [[TRUMP]] and [[Doug Winger]] and especially the Mall stories featured on Doug's website.<br />
<br />
Naughty Roxi has appeared in the comic ''[[Supermegatopia]]'' as the name Roxikat, (based on John's character on [[SMT Blue MUCK]], Milkshake) as well as in several portfolios sold at John's personal website at roxikat.com. She also appeared in Sin Factory's ''[[Genus]]'' #22 (reprinted in Genus Greatest Hits #3), and [[Genus Male]].<br />

The Bagel Cult

<hr />
<div>'''The Bagel Cult''' is a fictional sinister villain cult created by [[Kelvin the Lion]]. The cult members take pride in and an have an appetite for bagels, yet also form a brainwashing cult which is horribly twisted, putting victims through any kind of torture. As described in a Yerf.com description showing a [http://www.yerf.com/uploads/farrchri/bagel.gif victim submitting to the cult], the Bagel Cult is "an evil corrupt organization bent on taking over the world". The members are "thieves and murderers and puppy kickers": in short, outright evil.<br />
<br />
The Bagel Cult members wear masks during ceremonies and sacrifical rituals. (These masks are often mistaken for make-up or tattoos.) The insidious Bagel Cult kidnaps people off the streets and forces them into the cult. If the kidnapped person refuses to join, they are then sacrificed to the Bagel Cult's idol, The Great Bagel, who can lead the cult to victory. (This part of the information was not only from the Yerf.com site, but also by Mr. Farrington himself.) Those who join the cult slowly become insane. <br />
<br />
The cult sometimes sacrifices their own followers to their causes, especially when the Mystic Pretzel of the Ages appears. This Pretzel is a mystic snack food containing unknown mystical properites that the Bagel Cult fears.<br />
<br />
== Cameos ==<br />
<br />
Recently, The Bagel Cult made an evil appearance in the ''[[11 Will Die]]'' [[webcomic]]. The cult plotted all kinds of conspiracies, including cloning up impostors. Fortunately, the cult was eventually no match for the heroes, led by [[Jith-Rith-Ng]].<br />

<div>'''Xoxios-Lan''' is one of the recurring villains of the [[webcomic]] ''[[Macropod Madness]]''. His abilities are [[Wikipedia:Necromancy|necromancy]] and the creation of [[Wikipedia:Zombie|zombies]] under his command. <br />
<br />
== How Xoxios-Lan came to be ==<br />
<br />
Xoxiox was a shy child who was part-ram, part-goat. Because of this, he was the unfortunate victim of belittlement, discrimination, and mental cruelty by the schoolyard children. He then turned to the black arts involving necromancy with a fanatic fervor. With that skill mastered, he set upon his tormentors a hoarde of undead hamsters to wreak havoc upon the school. He would later become the most feared and most hated of the [[Black Wizards of Macropodia]].<br />
<br />
[[Jenna Grape]], [[Red & Lemon Orange|Lemon Orange]], and [[Orange Orange]] later faced Xoxios-Lan on his home turf at Death Island. The three roos were able to take down the zombies that inhabited his castle, but he revived the pieces as one undead giant, and put Jenna under a sleeping spell to face [[Terinios]], Master of Nightmares. Due to his almost-constant exposure to decaying flesh, Xoxios-Lan retreated to his bathroom to shower, but unbeknowest to him, Lemon was lurking about. Xoxios slipped on his bar of soap, and fell upon Lemon's knife ten times, causing him to bleed to death. <br />
<br />
*NOTE: Though Jenna thought [http://www.bibp.com/macropodia/index.php?date=2001-04-09 Lemon was joking], it turns out Xoxios-Lan [http://www.bibp.com/macropodia/index.php?date=2001-08-07 wasn't].<br />
<br />
Upon his defeat, he would later return as a Dark Lich at the Haunted Shrine Ride, turning several unfortunate victims into zombies, but once again, he was defeated by the efforts of Jenna, Orange, [[Concord Grape]], [[Tree Ninja]], and [[Jacky Mango]].<br />
<br />
Though he had a contingency plan to further trouble the heroes, Xoxios-Lan's whereabouts are currently unknown.<br />

'''Anita "Buzz" Brambles''' is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[bunny]] on [[FurryMUCK]] who is best known for two traits. When new [[furs]] meet her, they are inevitably attracted to her oversized bosom (a trait intentionally added by her creator, [[Angry Dave]]). However, Buzz is more well-known on Furry for her personality: she's a southern belle bunny (with a heavy accent) who is seen as sweet, amiable, and prone to giving big soft [[hug]]s. (She is also generally not a [[yiffy]] [[character]], preferring conversation to outright [[TinySex]]).<br />
<br />
Her nickname comes from the fact that she is depicted as having a short, military-style "buzz cut" hairdo.<br />
<br />
Buzz has been a popular character with a number of [[furry artist]]s. Angry Dave manages an archive of Buzz's pictures, both by himself and (many) gifts and contributions by furry artists.<br />
<br />
Buzz's [[pinfo]] states: <tt>"Buzz is a fun loving lil' Southern belle of a [[rabbit]]. [[IC]]-wise, she's AngryDave's cousin, from around [[wikipedia:Tuscaloosa, Alabama|Tuscaloosa]], [[wikipedia:Alabama|Alabama]]. [[OOC]]-wise, she's AngryDave's alt. Yup, her [[player]] is (obviously) a guy. A straight one at that, go figure. Buzz is mainly a way for AD t' blow off steam and play a character for a change, and not just himself. Take that into consideration before ya try any funny business with her."</tt><br />

'''''21st Century Fox''''' is a webcomic that debuted (in its current form) on February 14th, 1999. The strip is written and drawn by [[Scott Kellogg]].<br />
<br />
* '''Addresses''':<br />
** '''Website''': http://techfox.keenspace.com/<br />
* '''Ran from/to''': 14 February 1999 - current<br />
<br />
It is about a [[fox]] named Jack Black and various other [[anthropomorphic]] animal characters living in a high tech future world. Jack is a traveling engineer, roaming from one assignment to the next, repairing equipment for TLATech in his high powered 2066 Thunderbird.<br />
<br />
The web comic's characters often use the expletive "Jonny Freakinouter!", usually to express surprise.<br />
<br />
== The Story So Far ==<br />
{{spoiler}}<br />
<br />
(As of August 15, 2005)<br />
<br />
Jack Black, a fox, and Cecil Stuart, a [[giraffe]], are travelling from town to town in Jack’s Ford Thunderbird, working as field engineers for TLATech. One night, while they are performing at open mike night at Café Kimba, Cecil meets a pair of lady giraffes, Barb Kendall and Beth Regina, and immediately makes an impression on them. Jack, however, is reminded of his inability to make an impression on a [[vixen]]. <br />
<br />
A moment later, an unknown vixen walks into the café and immediately makes an impression on him, but leaves before Jack musters the courage to talk to her. He is further discouraged when he finds out that the mystery vixen is an engineer and a gearhead and like him, "as rare and precious as diamonds and more sought after than magnetic monopoles," and therefore almost certainly in a relationship already. <br />
<br />
The next day, Jack and Cecil are on the road again, and Barb and Beth go into their jobs at Lockheed Martin Textron, where they meet one of their coworkers – the mystery vixen! It becomes apparent that she is just as gun-shy as Jack when it comes to relationships. <br />
<br />
Jack and Cecil have encountered many challenging situations in their jobs, including the pint-sized offices of Advanced Miceco Devices (and equally small technician Joe Maus) and the laboratory of (very!) mad scientist Dr. Tangent, but they soon are faced with an even greater challenge: Hurricane Liska, which is quickly approaching the Gulf Coast of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]]. Also facing Liska is the mystery vixen from the café, whose part-time employer, Bali Hai Aviation, is on backup search-and-rescue duty. <br />
<br />
Inevitably, the call comes in for a rescue. Jack, an injured Cecil, and several others are trapped on top of a highway overpass that is getting smaller and smaller as floodwaters rise. The mystery vixen takes off in a [[Wikipedia:Cessna|Cessna]] Kingfisher tilt-rotor rescue plane in the company of Veronica Desmond, a vampire bat paramedic friend of Cecil’s.<br />
<br />
At the overpass, the mood is tense, sometimes interrupted by characters’ renditions of [[Wikipedia:Gilbert and Sullivan|Gilbert & Sullivan]] songs with interesting lyrics. The pressure exerted on Jack gets stronger when he discovers that his Thunderbird has sustained heavy damage and that he has been unanimously voted "alpha" - he is now responsible for everybody’s lives. Thankfully, the Kingfisher arrives; unfortunately, even after dumping both fuel and equipment, the craft would still be about a hundred pounds overweight with everybody on board. Bravely, Jack decides to remain.<br />
<br />
After safely delivering everybody to the airport, the mystery vixen returns to rescue Jack, who, thanks to his car’s ultralight construction, has managed to keep himself and the ditched equipment afloat. After finding out that everybody is safe, Jack’s adrenaline runs out and he promptly falls asleep. <br />
<br />
When he awakes, he and the mystery vixen discuss his current project for TLATech: a three-hundred kilometre tall "Buckyvator" tower, to be used to launch satellites and for use as a generator using energy from the solar wind. Just before she is about to introduce herself, Jack falls asleep again.<br />
<br />
Upon awaking in the hospital, Jack first arranges for his mechanic, Craig Breedlove, to pick up his car for a heavy overhaul, then goes on a search for Cecil. He finds Cecil in the company of Barb, Beth, and the mystery vixen, whose identity is revealed: Dr. Jenny Curtis, PhD (advanced aerospace propulsion - she’s a rocket scientist). Cecil’s skull is fractured at one of his horns, and he requires a reinforcing pin to correct the problem, requiring a concealed carry permit. This puts him in the middle of a morals debate with an anti-weapons activist and a pro-weapons activist.<br />
<br />
While Cecil recuperates from his operation, Jack and Jenny go to the garage to find out what shape Jack’s car is in. Jack tries conversation, but Jenny seems very secretive about herself. Things don’t improve when Jack discovers that they are being followed. After escaping their followers, they arrive at the garage. Jack’s car is heavily damaged, and needs to be re-engined. Thanks to Craig’s connections at Ford, the new engine will be a twin Magneto-Hydrodynamic Turboshaft–but with the afterburners removed to make it street-legal. In exchange for the engines, Jack, Cecil, and Jenny need to deliver two classic cars that Craig and Earl Jeffries at Ford are swapping. On the way there, they drive a 1907 roadster quickly nicknamed [[Wikipedia:Chitty Chitty Bang Bang|Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]. On the way back, a 1923 American LaFrance fire engine.<br />
<br />
During the trip to the Ford engine test plant, Jenny begins to trust Jack, something she has a lot of trouble doing. However, on the way back, she shows signs of closing up again, especially after the others joke about bionic implants. She claims that she has bad memories of a friend who required bionics after a test plane crash, and whose behaviour changed completely for the worse. <br />
<br />
Her memories become even more vivid and painful when she, Jack, and Cecil find themselves required to save people in a major car crash involving a burning explosives truck and a drunk driver lion; the driver gets in a fight with Jack and loses, the lion dying in the process. <br />
<br />
Afterwards, Jenny blames herself for causing the fight between Jack and the drunk lion. She fears that Jack is angry with her and blames her, but he doesn’t. Jenny confesses that the friend who was in the accident was actually her boyfriend, who got jealous easily, got in fights over her, and then vented his anger by verbally and physically abusing her. Jack reassures her that he isn’t angry with her, and promises not to get in fights over her, but the scars still remain. Fortunately, Jenny trusts Jack a lot more.<br />
<br />
While on their way home after the accident, Jack, Jenny, and Cecil make a stop at the location of one of Jenny’s projects: Kenedy Spaceport. However, Jack is detained by security because of an inconsistency in his paperwork. Ever since he defeated the lion in a "duel," under leonine species law, Jack has officially been a lion, because lions refuse to admit defeat to any other species. His papers reflect this change, but he is still a fox. The only way he can enter the Spaceport is if he becomes a member of Jenny’s "skulk," similar to a wolf pack. This is a great sign of trust for Jenny, especially as it requires scent-marking, but they are both willing to be closer together. Unfortunately, while in the process of scent-marking, they are discovered by Col. Tora Scobee, head of the Spaceport’s security - and Jenny’s abusive ex-fiancé. <br />
<br />
Jenny initially cowers in fear at his continuing verbal abuse, but soon gets strong enough to tell him that, once and for all, they are over. Tora threatens them both until Barb, Beth, and Cecil arrive–all of whom are more than ten feet (30.5 m) taller than him and could easily "play Monty Python with his skull", her foot replacing the Foot of Cupid in the panel. With his pride sprained, Tora backs away. <br />
<br />
Jack soon becomes welcome at the Lockheed Martin Textron offices at the Spaceport, even upgrading the software on the Lindbergh space probe, which uses ramjets designed by Jenny. While Jenny works, Jack also manages to find an alternate site for the three-hundred kilometre tower, not far away from the Spaceport. He and Jenny become much closer, as do Barb, Beth, and Cecil, who are now engaged. Unfortunately, the happiness comes to an abrupt halt when Jack is kidnapped by lions the Spaceport.<br />
<br />
Jack’s captors are the Rutherington-Smythe family of Britain, owners of the DeBeers mining corporation. When Jack defeated their son Lance in the fight, he inherited a position on DeBeers’ board of directors, all of Lance’s possessions, and several enemies, none of whom the Rutherington-Smythes want in their family or their company. Jack doesn’t want it, but the only way he can legally get out of his predicament is by losing to another male lion in a duel. He could abdicate to a female lion, but it won’t be recognized by the lions’ traditional and restrictive laws on women. These lions are especially troublesome as they are Kenyan by birth, and more traditional than most other lions.<br />
<br />
Jack and the lioness that kidnapped him, his "sister" Galore, plot to enable Galore to replace Jack on DeBeers’ board and in the Rutherington-Smythe family’s line of inheritance. Their plot involves a geothermal power plant to extract precious metals from seawater on the Gulf Coast of Texas, and along the way they make an enemy within the company - Arthur Andersen, DeBeers’ Chief Financial Officer. Jenny crosses the Atlantic to join Jack, and she, Jack, Galore, Galore’s father (the CEO of DeBeers), and other DeBeers executives make their way to Texas to observe the groundbreaking ceremony of the metals extraction plant.<br />
<br />
When they all arrive in Texas, Galore meets an American lion, John King, and is impressed by the way American lions treat their women compared to British and Kenyan lions. Jack and Jenny told her that things were different in America, but she wasn’t expecting this. She is now more and more interested in staying in America. Jenny, meanwhile, is still having doubts about Jack because of her past experiences with Tora, but after a conversation with Beth, decides that she is ready to leave her past behind and can fully trust Jack.<br />
<br />
At the groundbreaking ceremony for the plant, a tunnel boring machine being used for the project starts operating without being controlled by its operator. It appears that the machine is running out of control, but in fact, it is being operated by Arthur Andersen, who is trying to sabotage the project and wrestle control of the company away from the Rutherington-Smythes. When that doesn’t work, he tries to shoot anyone he can, but Cecil remotely enables the safety lock. In the end, Arthur Andersen ends up under a large mound of earth–placed on top of him by a bulldozer controlled by Jack. <br />
<br />
In the hospital, Jack discovers from Galore’s father that by defeating Arthur Andersen in a duel (when he was really just trying to save himself), Jack has also inherited Andersen’s possessions, job, and wives. Jack, frustrated, abdicates his position to Galore, which is illegal in Britain but not in America. Fortunately, Galore has no intention of going home.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, things begin to settle down. Cecil, Barb, and Beth get married at last, and have their honeymoon at the hotel on the Rutan Space Station. There, Cecil meets a pair of familiar faces: Joe Maus and Veronica Desmond. While Jack and Cecil were having fun in a hurricane and delivering vintage cars, Joe got a job with Applied Marsupials and was assigned to their silicon wafer manufacturing facility on the Moon. There, he met Veronica, an EMT trying to become a doctor. The two became close friends and wanted to be more than friends, but did not say anything to each other because of Applied Marsupials’ no fraternization policy. However, after aiding in a spacecraft crash rescue, they admit their feelings to each other. Their boss, realizing what is going on, sends them to Rutan Space Station on a vacation because of their “post-traumatic stress syndrome” from the recovery mission.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, back on the Earth, Jack is observing the beginning stages of TLATech’s 300 kilometre tall tower. A major problem is the hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk littering the atmosphere that could possibly strike the tower and damage it. The solution is getting access to the flightpaths of space junk in lower orbits to intercept them and clear them out of the way. The problem is the only person they can get help from is Col. Tora Scobee. <br />
<br />
He reluctantly agrees to help, and is paired up with Ayesha Ansari, a Bengal tiger, who takes an instant dislike to him - and vice-versa. His antagonistic shell begins to crack when he finds out that Ms. Ansari has cybernetic implants like he does, and at her encouragement, he begins to ponder biological alternatives to his cybernetic limbs.<br />
<br />
Problems begin to arise when members of the Disney Fundamentalist Church protest the construction of the tower. The Disney Fundamentalist Church is, at its core, anti-technology, but normally peaceful. The real worry lies in a sect led by terrorist John Walker Bambi, who attempts two intercepted terrorist attacks against the project, injuring several (including Ms. Ansari and Jenny’s boss) but killing only a handful of his followers - not that he misses them. <br />
<br />
Jack and Col. Scobee reluctantly work together and team up with security agency SHADO to prevent further damage and arrest John Walker Bambi, which they do. Bambi is speedily put on trial and imprisoned on public display to humiliate him in front of everybody.<br />

<br />
It is about a [[fox]] named Jack Black and various other [[anthropomorphic]] animal characters living in a high tech future world. Jack is a traveling engineer, roaming from one assignment to the next, repairing equipment for TLATech in his high powered 2066 Thunderbird.<br />
<br />
The web comic's characters often use the expletive "Jonny Freakinouter!", usually to express surprise.<br />
<br />
== The Story So Far ==<br />
{{spoiler}}<br />
<br />
(As of August 15, 2005)<br />
<br />
Jack Black, a fox, and Cecil Stuart, a [[giraffe]], are travelling from town to town in Jack’s Ford Thunderbird, working as field engineers for TLATech. One night, while they are performing at open mike night at Café Kimba, Cecil meets a pair of lady giraffes, Barb Kendall and Beth Regina, and immediately makes an impression on them. Jack, however, is reminded of his inability to make an impression on a [[vixen]]. <br />
<br />
A moment later, an unknown vixen walks into the café and immediately makes an impression on him, but leaves before Jack musters the courage to talk to her. He is further discouraged when he finds out that the mystery vixen is an engineer and a gearhead and like him, "as rare and precious as diamonds and more sought after than magnetic monopoles," and therefore almost certainly in a relationship already. <br />
<br />
The next day, Jack and Cecil are on the road again, and Barb and Beth go into their jobs at Lockheed Martin Textron, where they meet one of their coworkers – the mystery vixen! It becomes apparent that she is just as gun-shy as Jack when it comes to relationships. <br />
<br />
Jack and Cecil have encountered many challenging situations in their jobs, including the pint-sized offices of Advanced Miceco Devices (and equally small technician Joe Maus) and the laboratory of (very!) mad scientist Dr. Tangent, but they soon are faced with an even greater challenge: Hurricane Liska, which is quickly approaching the Gulf Coast of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]]. Also facing Liska is the mystery vixen from the café, whose part-time employer, Bali Hai Aviation, is on backup search-and-rescue duty. <br />
<br />
Inevitably, the call comes in for a rescue. Jack, an injured Cecil, and several others are trapped on top of a highway overpass that is getting smaller and smaller as floodwaters rise. The mystery vixen takes off in a [[Wikipedia:Cessna|Cessna]] Kingfisher tilt-rotor rescue plane in the company of Veronica Desmond, a vampire bat paramedic friend of Cecil’s.<br />
<br />
At the overpass, the mood is tense, sometimes interrupted by characters’ renditions of [[Wikipedia:Gilbert and Sullivan|Gilbert & Sullivan]] songs with interesting lyrics. The pressure exerted on Jack gets stronger when he discovers that his Thunderbird has sustained heavy damage and that he has been unanimously voted "alpha" - he is now responsible for everybody’s lives. Thankfully, the Kingfisher arrives; unfortunately, even after dumping both fuel and equipment, the craft would still be about a hundred pounds overweight with everybody on board. Bravely, Jack decides to remain.<br />
<br />
After safely delivering everybody to the airport, the mystery vixen returns to rescue Jack, who, thanks to his car’s ultralight construction, has managed to keep himself and the ditched equipment afloat. After finding out that everybody is safe, Jack’s adrenaline runs out and he promptly falls asleep. <br />
<br />
When he awakes, he and the mystery vixen discuss his current project for TLATech: a three-hundred kilometre tall "Buckyvator" tower, to be used to launch satellites and for use as a generator using energy from the solar wind. Just before she is about to introduce herself, Jack falls asleep again.<br />
<br />
Upon awaking in the hospital, Jack first arranges for his mechanic, Craig Breedlove, to pick up his car for a heavy overhaul, then goes on a search for Cecil. He finds Cecil in the company of Barb, Beth, and the mystery vixen, whose identity is revealed: Dr. Jenny Curtis, PhD (advanced aerospace propulsion - she’s a rocket scientist). Cecil’s skull is fractured at one of his horns, and he requires a reinforcing pin to correct the problem, requiring a concealed carry permit. This puts him in the middle of a morals debate with an anti-weapons activist and a pro-weapons activist.<br />
<br />
While Cecil recuperates from his operation, Jack and Jenny go to the garage to find out what shape Jack’s car is in. Jack tries conversation, but Jenny seems very secretive about herself. Things don’t improve when Jack discovers that they are being followed. After escaping their followers, they arrive at the garage. Jack’s car is heavily damaged, and needs to be re-engined. Thanks to Craig’s connections at Ford, the new engine will be a twin Magneto-Hydrodynamic Turboshaft–but with the afterburners removed to make it street-legal. In exchange for the engines, Jack, Cecil, and Jenny need to deliver two classic cars that Craig and Earl Jeffries at Ford are swapping. On the way there, they drive a 1907 roadster quickly nicknamed [[Wikipedia:Chitty Chitty Bang Bang|Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]. On the way back, a 1923 American LaFrance fire engine.<br />

<p>Blackroo1967: /* How Xoxios-Lan came to be. */</p>
<hr />
<div>Xoxios-Lan is one of the recurring villains of Macropod Madness.<br />
<br />
His abilities are [[necromancy]] and the creation of zombies <br />
under his command. <br />
<br />
<br />
== How Xoxios-Lan came to be. ==<br />
<br />
He was a shy child who was part-ram, part-goat. Because of this, <br />
he was the unfortunate victim of belittlement, discrimination, and<br />
mental cruelty by the schoolyard children. He then turned to the<br />
black arts involving necromancy with a thanotic fervor. With that<br />
skill mastered, he set upon his tormentors a hoarde of undead <br />
hamsters to wreak havoc upon the school. He would later become the<br />
most feared and most hated of the [[Black Wizards of Macropodia]].<br />
<br />
[[Jenna Grape]], [[Red & Lemon Orange|Lemon Orange]], and [[Orange Orange]] later faced Xoxios-Lan <br />
on his home turf at Death Island. The three roos were able to take down<br />
the zombies that inhabited his castle, but he revived the pieces as one <br />
undead giant, and put Jenna under a sleeping spell to face [[Terinios]], Master<br />
of Nightmares. Due to his almost-constant exposure to decaying flesh, <br />
Xoxios-Lan retreated to his bathroom to shower, but unbeknowest to him,<br />
Lemon was lurking about. Xoxios slipped on his bar of soap, and fell upon <br />
Lemon's knife ten times, causing him to bleed to death. <br />
<br />
*NOTE: Though Jenna thought [http://www.bibp.com/macropodia/index.php?date=2001-04-09 Lemon was joking], it turns out Xoxios-Lan [http://www.bibp.com/macropodia/index.php?date=2001-08-07 wasn't].<br />
<br />
Upon his defeat, he would later return as a Dark Lich at the Haunted Shrine<br />
Ride, turning several unfortunate victims into zombies, but once again,<br />
he was defeated by the efforts of Jenna, Orange, [[Concord Grape]], [[Tree Ninja]], and [[Jacky Mango]].<br />
<br />
Though he had a contingency plan to further trouble the heroes, Xoxios-Lan's whereabouts are currently unknown.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Cultural Referances==<br />
*In the comic showing his origin, the undead hamsters are dressed like movie monsters Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, Leatherface from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Freddie Krueger, and Jason from "Friday the 13th". <br />
*The shower scene where a knife was seen at the right side behind Xoxios-Lan is reminesicent of the movie "Psycho".<br />
*When Xoxios-Lan cast a sleeping spell on Jenna, he resurrected Terinios, spoofing Freddie Kreuger, the villain from "A Nightmare on Elm Street".<br />

<hr />
<div>Xoxios-Lan is one of the recurring villains of Macropod Madness.<br />
<br />
His abilities are [[necromancy]] and the creation of zombies <br />
under his command. <br />
<br />
<br />
== How Xoxios-Lan came to be. ==<br />
<br />
He was a shy child who was part-ram, part-goat. Because of this, <br />
he was the unfortunate victim of belittlement, discrimination, and<br />
mental cruelty by the schoolyard children. He then turned to the<br />
black arts involving necromancy with a thanotic fervor. With that<br />
skill mastered, he set upon his tormentors a hoarde of undead <br />
hamsters to wreak havoc upon the school. He would later become the<br />
most feared and most hated of the Black Wizards of Macropodia.<br />
<br />
[[Jenna Grape]], [[Red & Lemon Orange|Lemon Orange]], and [[Orange Orange]] later faced Xoxios-Lan <br />
on his home turf at Death Island. The three roos were able to take down<br />
the zombies that inhabited his castle, but he revived the pieces as one <br />
undead giant, and put Jenna under a sleeping spell to face [[Terinios]], Master<br />
of Nightmares. Due to his almost-constant exposure to decaying flesh, <br />
Xoxios-Lan retreated to his bathroom to shower, but unbeknowest to him,<br />
Lemon was lurking about. Xoxios slipped on his bar of soap, and fell upon <br />
Lemon's knife ten times, causing him to bleed to death. <br />
<br />
*NOTE: Though Jenna thought [http://www.bibp.com/macropodia/index.php?date=2001-04-09 Lemon was joking], it turns out Xoxios-Lan [http://www.bibp.com/macropodia/index.php?date=2001-08-07 wasn't].<br />
<br />
Upon his defeat, he would later return as a Dark Lich at the Haunted Shrine<br />
Ride, turning several unfortunate victims into zombies, but once again,<br />
he was defeated by the efforts of Jenna, Orange, [[Concord Grape]], [[Tree Ninja]], and [[Jacky Mango]].<br />
<br />
Though he had a contingency plan to further trouble the heroes, Xoxios-Lan's whereabouts are currently unknown.<br />

*In the comic showing his origin, the undead hamsters are dressed like movie monsters Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, Leatherface from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Freddie Krueger, and Jason from "Friday the 13th". <br />
*The shower scene where a knife was seen at the right side behind Xoxios-Lan is reminesicent of the movie "Psycho".<br />
*When Xoxios-Lan cast a sleeping spell on Jenna, he resurrected Terinios, spoofing Freddie Kreuger, the villain from "A Nightmare on Elm Street".<br />

<div>Terinios is an anthropomorphic lion and one of the<br />
four Black Wizards in the [[Macropod Madness]] [[webcomic]].<br />
His abilities are black magic and mastery of nightmares.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Nightmare Master's Past...==<br />
<br />
Not much was known, but Terinios grew up as a cub <br />
abused by his stepfather. Terinios hated his stepfather<br />
for his ill-treatment. So much, that he later learned the <br />
dark arts to create and manipulate dreams. Upon learning<br />
the strongest nightmare incantation, Terinios unleashed<br />
upon his sleeping stepfather the most powerful of night <br />
terrors. That mere act of revenge upon him was too much for<br />
his stepfather, and he died from a heart attack. <br />
<br />
Upon this, he used his powers to murder and create terror<br />
for those he encountered.</div>

<hr />
<div>'''Cotton Taylor''' is a [[rabbit]] friend of [[Gene Catlow]] and a main [[character]] in the [[webcomic]] of the same name. Though not explicitly spelled out, his name appears to be a pun off of "cotton tail." He is sometimes impulsive, but his strong point is his semi-chaotic yet refined way of handling any sort of problem.<br />
== Origin ==<br />
Cotton started out as a computer repairfur and coworker with Gene who liked to joke with the tomcat every now and then. All that began to change when Bev the [[bear]] served him Coffee², the special extra-strength Canovian blend, which awakened in him the ability known as "sight of the soul." This allowed him, and subsequently anyone he contacted, to communicate without talking and irrespective of physical distance--with the side-effect of seeing the other person unclothed.<br />
<br />
== A New Role ==<br />
Over the course of the life of the Gene Catlow comic, Cotton has become a much more important character, possibly intended to become a being of near-cosmic power at some point. In the meantime, he has won the heart of his true love, [[Tavatiana]], formerly the chancellor of Canovia. As of this writing, Cotton has been taken away to live in ancient Canovia in order to heal from a traumatic near-death experience and to spend time with Tavie and their unborn daughter.<br />

<div>'''Cotton Taylor''' is a [[rabbit]] friend of [[Gene Catlow]] and a main [[character]] in the [[webcomic]] of the same name. Though not explicitly spelled out, his name appears to be a pun off of "cotton tail." He is sometimes impulsive, but his strong point is his semi-chaotic yet refined way of handling any sort of problem.<br />
<br />
[http://yerf.com/uploads/tempalbe/gccotton.gif| A picture of Cotton Taylor.]<br />
<br />
== Origin ==<br />
Cotton started out as a computer repairfur and coworker with Gene who liked to joke with the tomcat every now and then. All that began to change when Bev the [[bear]] served him Coffee², the special extra-strength Canovian blend, which awakened in him the ability known as "sight of the soul." This allowed him, and subsequently anyone he contacted, to communicate without talking and irrespective of physical distance--with the side-effect of seeing the other person unclothed.<br />
<br />
== A New Role ==<br />
Over the course of the life of the Gene Catlow comic, Cotton has become a much more important character, possibly intended to become a being of near-cosmic power at some point. In the meantime, he has won the heart of his true love, Tavatiana, formerly the chancellor of Canovia. As of this writing, Cotton has been taken away to live in ancient Canovia in order to heal from a traumatic near-death experience and to spend time with Tavie and their unborn daughter.<br />

'''Gene Catlow''' is a [[furry]] comic strip by [[Albert Temple]] and [[Catswhisker|Tawana Gilroy]]. The main characters in the strip are their [[fursona]]s, '''Gene Catlow''' and '''Catswhisker'''. Thus named after the star character, '''Mr. Catlow''' is not your average black cat in a day in the life, in the metropolis of [[Furriston]]. Still he's not alone with his friends of fellow characters.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
The plot takes place in a fictional universe where not only humans are intelligent, but also furries and a species referred to as ''animen''. Also as the plot moves along, many forms of technology gain 'self-awareness'. In that universe, [[human]]s used to be the dominant [[species]], having furries as their pets (or slaves). However, in an economic revolution, furries achieved autonomy and their own economically and politically-stable country.<br />
<br />
The comic runs in that scenario, reconstructing these events and dealing with some of the "loose ends" of that situation. Subjects like prejudice, racism, tolerance, power and forgiving are dealt with. Later on, ''animen'' are introduced as major characters of the plot, bringing further explanation of the plot's past and present.<br />

<div>The Racoon Family are one of many characters created<br />
by [[Albert Temple]], and have been seen not only in his comic<br />
series, [[Gene Catlow]], but also on [[Yerf.com]].<br />
<br />
Each of the family members exhibits an amazing trait:<br />
<br />
'''Gruff Raccoon:''' He has not only super-strength, but he <br />
is surprisingly almost indestructable. He is also '''VERY PROTECTIVE'''<br />
about his children.<br />
<br />
'''Patient Raccoon:''' She has a aura of calmness that would<br />
be defined as "almost eerie", even as her children are nearly<br />
deafening in play.<br />
<br />
'''Observant Raccoon:''' Like her name suggests, she is able<br />
to not only be aware of one thing in her surroundings, but she<br />
is aware of '''''EVERYTHING''''' taking place in it!<br />
<br />
'''Active Raccoon:''' The proof of this preteen procyon is his<br />
super-speed that can even propel him into time.<br />
<br />
'''Confident Raccoon:''' He has unshakable confidence that makes him a <br />
formidable character when he faced with adversity.<br />

<p>Blackroo1967: /* The character */</p>
<hr />
<div>:''This page is for the toy otter character. There may be another Amanda requiring a different page.''<br />
<br />
'''Amanda''' is a baby [[otter]] [[plush toy]] brought to life by the imagination of [[Oren Otter]]. She exists in the form of a real-life home-made plush toy, and she is also the star of her own [[webcomic]] (currently on hiatus).<br />
<br />
== The character ==<br />
Amanda first appeared in the comic strip [[The Changing Workplace]] as a supporting [[character]]. She was built by Oren, who wanted a daughter, and mysteriously came to life using a reference to a classic tale of another well-known toy come to life; her father warns her not to use it openly, due to Disney's lawyers might be hanging about. She has made regular appearances in TCW as well as cameos in other comics by Oren, not to mention her own comic.<br />
<br />
In the ''[[Otter Island]]'' universe, Amanda is also Oren's daughter, but there she is also a telepath. Her origins in this paradigm have not been fully disclosed.<br />
<br />
== The comic ==<br />
''Amanda'' the comic strip was created by Oren's nephew Xan and has subsequently been drawn by Oren. It features plush toy characters of various shapes and sizes and typically involves references and parodies concerning pop culture, such as the "Plushie Teen Dinner Squad".<br />
