Ten Types of Furry......

ISD: Poputurd not to be confused with popufur

'''''Ten Types of Furry......''''' is a series of journal posts written by [[Felixpath]] on the website [[Fur Affinity]]. The first of these journals, written on December 18th, 2011, is a list of ten different kinds of [[furry]] that other furries hate.<ref name="First list">[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3011322/ Ten Types of Furry......] by [[Felixpath]], written on [[Fur Affinity]] on December 18th, 2011. Accessed on February 29th, 2012.</ref> The first post was so popular that another was written up on February 29th, 2012, with a third to follow.<ref name="Second list">[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3223102/ Ten MORE Types of Furry........] by [[Felixpath]], written on [[Fur Affinity]] on February 29th, 2012. Accessed on February 29th, 2012.</ref>

==Original list==
The original ''Ten Types of Furry......'' lists the following types of furry that other furries hate.<ref name="First list"/>

* '''The Poputurd''': "Don't confuse Poputurds with [[popufur]]s... The Poputurds are the smug, arrogant dickweeds who take their fans for granted, and -- this is key -- are popular for ''nothing in particular''."
* '''The Barnacle''': "These are the sad, annoying, desperate guys who want someone, anyone, to acknowledge them."
* '''The Kinkbot''': "The Kinkbot is the furry who has one, AND ONLY ONE, [[fetish]], and cannot get around it."
* '''The Boiled Bunny''': "Furry version of the [[Wikipedia:Bunny boiler|Bunny Boiler]]. The Boiled Bunny is the unmated fur who's rabidly jealous of you and your [[mate]], and hides it behind a sinister, passive-aggressive veneer of support."
* '''The [[Commission]] Demon''': "This is the fur who is painfully vague about what they want, then decides on something after you've drawn a sketch of something completely different."
* '''The Child Called "It"''': "What irritates the hell out of me are furries who live under their parents' thumb and are whiny and self-pitying about it."
* '''The HAFSY''': "HAFSY stands for "Had Fun, See Ya!" This is the furry who approaches you, acts very charming and very interested, becomes a close online friend, then vanishes. And it's not because they're busy or something happened; one look at their FA page makes it clear that their furry social life is still going on. It just no longer includes you."
* '''The Bitch On a Pedestal''': "This arrogant, uptight, pretentious little twat is a blight upon art lovers and [[furry convention|furry cons]] everywhere. She (it's not always a she, but often) has the benefit of an official (useless) BA and all the self-delusion that comes with it. She hates porn, feels nothing but contempt for those who would be her fans, and believes her work is worthy of the Louvre."
* '''The Fucking Idiot''': "This isn't just the furry who says something stupid or misreads a journal. This is the furry who does it ALL the FUCKING TIME."
* '''The Utterly Evil Bastard''': "The Utterly Evil Bastard often combines aspects of the other furs on this list. But he's in a league of his own. This fucker has no morals and no problem with playing other furs like musical instruments. He will lie, manipulate, exaggerate, seduce, and do everything he can to feed off those gullible enough to be his friends... There are sociopaths and parasites in this fandom, and they will use you if you let them."

This journal post became Felixpath's most popular at the time, and was posted on [[Twitter]] by (amongst others) [[Bad Dragon]].<ref name="Second list"/>

==Expanded list==
Following the popularity of the original post, Felixpath decided to added two follow up lists, consisting of some of his own nominations and nominations by other furries commenting on the original post.<ref name="Second list"/>

===Ten MORE Types of Furry........===
The first expansion, called ''Ten MORE Types of Furry........'', was posted on Fur Affinity on February 29th, 2012. Other than Felixpath other suggestions came from [[Hayate]], [[The Chained Wolf]], [[Webkilla]], [[Pomponio]] and [[Teneba]]. This list consists on the following furry types:<ref name="Second list"/>

* '''The Concruddian''': "The Concruddian is the wretched fuckwad who uses the con environment as an excuse to be an absolutely horrible human being, while screaming "[[Fursecution]]!!!" at anyone who so much as looks at him askance."
* '''The Glitterbomb''': "Ever had a seizure from viewing someone's FA page? Yeah. You got hit by a Glitterbomb, the furry for whom everything is sparkly, magical, and wondrous. Their page is awash in gaudy rainbow colors, hearts, endless lists of friends and groups they belong to, and retarded ASCII art."
* '''The Gollum''': "The Gollum lurks in the depths, never leaving FA, trying to get Free Art by any means necessary."
* '''The Furnatic''': "We all know exactly who I'm talking about: the fool who believes, or frantically wants to believe, that he's really a furry."
* '''The DASY''': "This is the cousin to the HAFSY I described in the first list. The DASY ("Did Art; See Ya!") appears on FA and begins to post art that people love. Maybe he's really good; maybe he depicts a particular fetish really well. He quickly gains a strong following of fans, and they respect him and eagerly await his next upload. And then...he leaves as suddenly as he came, flushing his work down a black hole while mumbling some bullshit about his "evolving tastes" or whatever."
* '''The Guilty As Fuck-er''': "These poor bastards wallow in self-loathing and you suspect that on some twisted level, they're in love with their own guilt and misery. That's just wrong."
* '''The Fuwwy Twoo Wuv''': "The Fuwwy Twoo Wuv is the "cutesy" aspect of the fandom taken to hideous extremes, and it's made even worse by the fact that this type of relationship is almost always the least sincere."
* '''The [[Na'vi|Navi]]''': "Boring people often don't realize they're boring."
* '''The Sex Sandwich On Rye''': "The Law of Furry Relationships states: If Furry A likes Furry B and Furry B likes Furry C, then Furry A and Furry C loathe each other. What it doesn't mention is that Furry B is often the Sex Sandwich On Rye, a clueless and insufferable drip who wants everyone to get along and love each other in a big ol' sticky pile of goodwill and rainbow kitty ponies."
* '''The Gaymaleredfox''': "Our fandom is choked with these clone-stamped idiots, each one hiding behind a generic red fox fursona, each one watching and favoriting the same artists, each one displaying so little personality that [[Wikipedia:Jango Fett|Jango Fett]] would weep with envy."

A second expansion, the last in "the trilogy" will be posted some time in the future.<ref name="Second list"/>

'''''Exterminatus Now''''' is a [[webcomic]] drawn in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''-style, following the adventures of two Inquisitors, a mercenary, and a daemon hunter as they fight the many evil and dangerous creatures that inhabit the world of [[Mobius]]. It is written mostly by Garry "Lothar" Webber and drawn by Alan "The Virus" Graham, with contributions by Martin "Silversword" Faulkner who acts as webmaster and Stuart "Eastwood" Edney who acts as administrator.

The comic and its setting is a parody of a fan project<ref>[http://www.perfectlychaotic.com/grimtemp/grimtemp.html The Grim Darkness]</ref> which tried to create a new Mobius with a deeper backstory and history; a full mythology, political and social set-up. The project has been underway for years with no sign of completion.

==Characters==
=== Protagonists ===
[[Image:ExterminatusNow-HaroldEastwood.gif|thumb|left|Harold Eastwood]]
;'''Harold Quentin Eastwood'''
:A grey arctic fox Inquisitor who suffers from a severe addiction to coffee. He can be extremely quick and agile when he feels it necessary, but this is usually only when his well-documented arachnophobia comes into play. He claimed early in the comic that his nickname is "Dirty Harry", but nobody has ever called him that name — even if one of the reasons he got that nickname (his smell) was acknowledged and mentioned by other characters. He also has one of the world's largest collections of pornography due to his failure to get a girlfriend. However, the collection is so large, it flooded half the memory of the CABAL network and it had to be shut down for a week.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-SyrusTheVirusZuviel.jpg|thumb|right|Syrus "The Virus" Zuviel]]
;'''Syrus "The Virus" Zuviel'''
:A brown rat, and one of the two Inquisitors, along with Eastwood. To call him incompetent would be unfair, as Virus is actually very good at what he does. Unfortunately, what he actually "does" has yet to be determined. A career underachiever, he has about as much self-motivation as a Fernexite has social skills. He is calm and collected, except under pressure when it counts, and while possessed mostly of good intentions, he is either too lazy, cowardly, or just plain idiotic to follow through.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-LotharHex.jpg|thumb|left|Lothar Hex]]
;'''Lothar Hex'''
:A quick-tempered echidna cyborg hired by Virus and Eastwood. With warrants for arrest on almost every continent, the Inquisitors probably could not have picked a less appropriate agent of justice. However, by being officially inducted into the warband of an inquisitor, Hex has been acquitted of all crimes to date, and is therefore exempt from punishment.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-RyoushiRogueNekittou.jpg|thumb|right|Ryoushi "Rogue" Nekittou]]
;'''Ryoushi "Rogue" Nekittou'''
:An orange Deamon Hunter cat that uses a beam sword as a weapon. Though quite powerful, he is extremely serious, cocky and tends to over-estimate his own abilities. (An important note to remember is that Rogue does not in any way represent his creator, Silversword, as many readers assume.)

=== Antagonists ===
;'''Silas Morth'''
A badger who was a former member of the Mobian Inquisition and former friend of Eastwood (though their friendship seems questionable). Until, the day when during a mission, Morth's right eye was stabbed out. After that he became obsessed with studying the occult and soon became a full-fledged occult leader and attacked the Inquisition. After that Eastwood swore revenge upon Morth.

=== Supporting characters ===
;'''Blasphemy'''
:A [[Wikipedia:Chao (video game)|chao]] that evolved into a daemon-like creature after coming into contact with one of the creatures. Blasphemy is Virus’s personal pet, and has a knack for terrorizing Inquisitor Eastwood. He has also developed a kind of mutual understanding with Lothar (though neither would ever admit it).

;'''Commander Antonius Schaefer'''
:The commander-in-chief of the Mobian Inquisition. A sizable grizzly bear, he appears to get his kicks out of sending Virus, Eastwood, Hex, and Nekittou out on exceptionally dangerous missions and sometimes makes it obviously clear that he doesn't expect or want them to return. Apparently, he also has a bizarre fetish for chickens, which Virus used to blackmail him in order to obtain a private lodging.

;'''Riktor Simmons'''
:Schaefer's assistant and adjutant stoat. While feigning respect, he occasionally does manage to get a leg up on his superior. Recently, he became the temporary head of the Mobian Inquisition after an assasination attempt on Commander Schaefer.

;'''The Toaster'''
:Eastwood's toaster is often possessed by a daemon force, and repeatedly attacks him and the others. Even though they replace their toasters often, they still end up possessed over and over again.

;'''Jamilla "The Elusive Camel" Townsend'''
:A female penguin that works for the Mobian Inquistion as a covert agent. She has a rather odd codename of 'elusive camel', the reason being all the good codenames were taken and it was either that or 'urinating flounder'. Many sexist jokes of the series are made around her (one reason why she refused to join the team when offered).

;'''Yuri "Wildfire" Keila'''
:A young white female cat who was trained by the same group of Daemon Hunters as Rogue. She is described as "a combat prodigy", but has so bad at tactics that during a fight she often causes more bad than good.

==== Good Gods ====
;'''Gruss'''
:A machine good that looks like a tortoise.

;'''Tyrus'''
:The god of law. He is a lion with a mane of fire.

;'''Ahriman'''

== Cultural references ==

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-ExterminatusPlanStrip.jpg|thumb|right|Eastwood explains to readers how Exterminatus works. One of the many references to ''Warhammer 40,000''.]]

''Exterminatus Now'' has many references to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series. The setting is the same Mobius referred to in the English-speaking video games. Lothar resembles [[Knuckles the Echidna]], although only in that he is the same species while Eastwood bears a passing resemblance to [[Miles "Tails" Prower]] - much to the artist's irritation. Chao like Blasphemy were created in [[Wikipedia:Sonic Adventure|Sonic Adventure]] - and, in one comic, Lothar tells how he was turned down from appearing in the Sonic games in preference to [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]].

There are also plenty of references to [[Wikipedia:Warhammer 40,000|Warhammer 40,000]]; the name of the comic itself is taken from Imperial doctrine. Lothar Hex's name is also directly "borrowed" from a well-known 40k character. Early designs of the Inquisition emblems (Which, as of writing, are undergoing minor redesigns), the original design of the "Spectre" gunship which had more than a passing similarity to the Thunderhawk Gunship employed the [[Wikipedia:Space Marines|Space Marines]], and it can be argued that some of the daemons seen thus far are more than just inspired by the ones that inhabit the game-worlds of [[Wikipedia:Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Warhammer]] and Warhammer 40,000. Again, many are undergoing redesigns.

In addition, there are a handful of references to the works of [[Wikipedia:H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]], notably [[Wikipedia:Cthulhu|Cthulhu]], although other, more subtle, references have surfaced throughout the comic.

Finally, there are the almost mandatory references to [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]], comic books, and video games, amongst others.

'''''Exterminatus Now''''' is a [[webcomic]] drawn in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''-style, following the adventures of two Inquisitors, a mercenary, and a daemon hunter as they fight the many evil and dangerous creatures that inhabit the world of [[Mobius]]. It is written mostly by Garry "Lothar" Webber and drawn by Alan "The Virus" Graham, with contributions by Martin "Silversword" Faulkner who acts as webmaster and Stuart "Eastwood" Edney who acts as administrator.

The comic and its setting is a parody of a fan project<ref>[http://www.perfectlychaotic.com/grimtemp/grimtemp.html The Grim Darkness]</ref> which tried to create a new Mobius with a deeper backstory and history; a full mythology, political and social set-up. The project has been underway for years with no sign of completion.

==Characters==
=== Protagonists ===
[[Image:ExterminatusNow-HaroldEastwood.gif|thumb|left|Harold Eastwood]]
;'''Harold Quentin Eastwood'''
:A grey arctic fox who suffers from a severe addiction to coffee. He can be extremely quick and agile when he feels it necessary, but this is usually only when his well-documented arachnophobia comes into play. He claimed early in the comic that his nickname is "Dirty Harry", but nobody has ever called him that name — even if one of the reasons he got that nickname (his smell) was acknowledged and mentioned by other characters. He also has one of the world's largest collections of pornography due to his failure to get a girlfriend. However, the collection is so large, it flooded half the memory of the CABAL network and it had to be shut down for a week.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-SyrusTheVirusZuviel.jpg|thumb|right|Syrus "The Virus" Zuviel]]
;'''Syrus "The Virus" Zuviel'''
:A brown rat, and one of the two Inquisitors, along with Eastwood. To call him incompetent would be unfair, as Virus is actually very good at what he does. Unfortunately, what he actually "does" has yet to be determined. A career underachiever, he has about as much self-motivation as a Fernexite has social skills. He is calm and collected, except under pressure when it counts, and while possessed mostly of good intentions, he is either too lazy, cowardly, or just plain idiotic to follow through.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-LotharHex.jpg|thumb|left|Lothar Hex]]
;'''Lothar Hex'''
:A quick-tempered echidna cyborg hired by Virus and Eastwood. With warrants for arrest on almost every continent, the Inquisitors probably couldn’t have picked a less appropriate agent of justice. However, by being officially inducted into the warband of an inquisitor, Hex has been acquitted of all crimes to date, and is therefore exempt from punishment.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-RyoushiRogueNekittou.jpg|thumb|right|Ryoushi "Rogue" Nekittou]]
;'''Ryoushi "Rogue" Nekittou'''
:An orange cat that uses a beam sword as a weapon. Though quite powerful, he is extremely serious, cocky and tends to over-estimate his own abilities. (An important note to remember is that Rogue does not in any way represent his creator, Silversword, as many readers assume.)

=== Antagonists ===
;'''Silas Morth'''
A badger who was a former member of the Mobian Inquisition and former friend of Eastwood (though their friendship seems questionable). Until, the day when during a mission, Morth's right eye was stabbed out. After that he became obsessed with studying the occult and soon became a full-fledged occult leader and attacked the Inquisition. After that Eastwood swore revenge upon Morth.

=== Supporting characters ===
;'''Blasphemy'''
:A [[Wikipedia:Chao (video game)|chao]] that evolved into a daemon-like creature after coming into contact with one of the creatures. Blasphemy is Virus’s personal pet, and has a knack for terrorizing Inquisitor Eastwood. He has also developed a kind of mutual understanding with Lothar (though neither would ever admit it).

;'''Commander Antonius Schaefer'''
:The commander-in-chief of the Mobian Inquisition. A sizable grizzly bear, he appears to get his kicks out of sending Virus, Eastwood, Hex, and Nekittou out on exceptionally dangerous missions and sometimes makes it obviously clear that he doesn't expect or want them to return. Apparently, he also has a bizarre fetish for chickens, which Virus used to blackmail him in order to obtain a private lodging.

;'''Riktor Simmons'''
:Schaefer's assistant and adjutant stoat. While feigning respect, he occasionally does manage to get a leg up on his superior. Recently, he became the temporary head of the Mobian Inquisition after an assasination attempt on Commander Schaefer.

;'''The Toaster'''
:Eastwood's toaster is often possessed by a daemon force, and repeatedly attacks him and the others. Even though they replace their toasters often, they still end up possessed over and over again.

;'''Jamilla "The Elusive Camel" Townsend'''
:A female penguin that works for the Mobian Inquistion as a covert agent. She has a rather odd codename of 'elusive camel', the reason being all the good codenames were taken and it was either that or 'urinating flounder'. Many sexist jokes of the series are made around her (one reason why she refused to join the team when offered).

;'''Yuri "Wildfire" Keila'''
:A young white female cat who was trained by the same group of Daemon Hunters as Rogue. She is described as "a combat prodigy", but has so bad at tactics that during a fight she often causes more bad than good.

'''''Badly Drawn Kitties''''', also known as '''BDK''', is an online [[furry]] [[web comic]] created by Mat Sherer, which, as the title suggests, features [[cat]]s and is, in theory, badly drawn; however, the artist himself admits it is not as badly drawn as it once was.

Originally the entire subject of the site, it has now become a monthly strip within its own subdirectory when BDK (the site) switched to a resource [[Wikipedia:Blog|blog]], created on October 2005.

== Premise ==
{{spoiler}}
The comic stars a couple of [[anthropomorphic]] [[cat]]s named Lucy and Lydia, who share an apartment in the fictional country of New Talia, a small island nation off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. An adult-themed comic, sex plays a major role in many strips, whether it is actually occurring, implied, or the subject of a joke. There is nudity in the comic, but due to the simplistic art it is not very graphic. Recently, the comic has focused less on sex, but it is still an important part of the comic.

The comic has had various release schedules in its run, but is currently updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; Keenspace permitting.

==Characters==
{{main|List of characters in Badly Drawn Kitties}}

==The New Talian Idol Incident==

''New Talian Idol'' is a parody of ''[[Wikipedia:American Idol|American Idol]]'' and is the closest thing to an epic story to appear in BDK; of all plot lines and story arcs in BDK, this was the biggest and affected the most people.

===New Talian Idol===

In late 2002/early 2003, ''Sonica Magazine'' signed a deal with ''New Reality Studios'' to produce a home-grown version of ''American Idol''. On January 21, 2003, Desi gives the assignment of hosting ''New Talian Idol'' to venom-tongued critic Lucy, who utterly despises ''American Idol'', thinking she'd be the perfect [[Wikipedia:Simon Cowell|Simon Cowell]]-esque host.

On March 17, 2003, Lucy arrives on the set of ''New Talian Idol'', and meets the two people that she and Desi are working with. '''Buck''' is the producer and is so vain that he thinks every girl secretly wants to make out with him, constantly joking with lines like "Sorry, but I'm already married." '''Jack''' is Lucy's co-host, and is attracted to Lucy, but he has a nasty habit of saying things that he thinks are compliments, but are actually insulting.

:At this point, the comic drones on about some other stuff, primarily flashbacks from Lucy to delay the continuation of ''New Talian Idol''.

On May 19, 2003, Lucy returns to the set for taping of ''New Talian Idol'', were she is confronted with Buck and Jack again; sadly her annoyance over the whole deal is quite pronounced, making her seem like the perfect "Simon Cowell". She goes to Lydia for help and gets a makeover, trying to act nicer. When it seems that Jack is coming on to her, she tells him she's a lesbian, but he seems unphased; worse, it draws even more unwanted attention from Buck. This leads to her changing her story and saying she has a boyfriend, and uses Dirk to try and throw Buck and Jack off; but Dirk acts a little too cozy with Lucy and Lydia accuses him of philandering. All this fails, and Buck simply uses it to promote Lucy as a lesbian caricature on the show.

During the show, Lucy realizes that the only way out of this is to simply daydream and ignore the show completely. Buck mentions to Desi that Lucy doesn't seem as volatile as she described, but Desi says that the next act will bring out the worst in her. The next song is the most horrible thing in the world, [[Wikipedia:My Heart Will Go On|that dreaded Céline Dion song from Titanic]].

:After a brief repose to celebrate Canada Day and Independence Day, we return to ''New Talian Idol'' where...

Lucy goes totally off the deep end. She berates the whole show for taking people who may have real talent and squandering it on useless pop tunes; she blasts Jack for constantly eying her and Buck for his egotistical delusions, then storms off to her dressing room promising a hairspray enema to the first person she sees. That person happens to be Desi, who orders Lucy to go back out there, saying that it's just another assignment and is part of her job at Sonica, ignorant of the can of hairspray Lucy is now shaking. When Desi tells her to do the show or she's fired, Lucy leaves, giving Desi the payback she deserves.

As a result, Lucy loses her job, and reluctantly goes to Zig Zag looking for another job; thankfully getting one that doesn't involve what she is or isn't wearing. Dirk and Lydia break-up over the incident where he and Lucy pretended to be lovers. Meanwhile Sonica is left footing the bill over ''New Talian Idol'', and is forced to pay damages to ''New Reality Studios'' for breaching their contract.

===Aftermath===

April 27, 2004, Lucy receives a notice in the mail that she is being sued 1.5 million New Talian Dollars—roughly 900,000 USD according to Lola—because she walked out on ''New Talian Idol'', and Sonica was left to foot the damages. It turns out Sonica was bought by a company called Ranntech, and its owner, Vincent Rann is looking to make as much money off it as possible. When Lucy mentions it to Zig Zag, she gets her lawyer to look into it; apparently Zig Zag had a run in with Rann and would love to tie his legal knickers in a knot. The meeting with the lawyer goes well, and Lucy counter sues Sonica on grounds of wrongful dismissal.

Knowing that Lucy is in the right and would likely win the suit, Mr. Rann's lawyer comes up with a solution: if they both drop their lawsuits, Sonica hires Lucy back as an editor; that way she's working for Rann and making him money, or if she steps out of line he can fire her legitimately. Meanwhile, Desi gets punished for causing the whole fiasco.

In the end, Lucy gets the job she wanted, but she is now in the sights of Vincent Rann, who is waiting for a chance to trip her up. Desi despises working under Lucy, but eventually gets a new job, hosting the new ''New Talian Idol''; Lucy thinks this is fitting punishment, not realizing there are people who like the Idol concept. Also, Lucy finds out that Jezzebel works in Sonica's mail room; soon after, they start dating.

==Recent Changes==

* Lucy and Lydia became—or filed to become—New Talian citizens on November 3, 2004, in response to the reelection of George W. Bush as president of the United States; up to that point they were still American citizens. It's an obvious spoof of liberals and Democrats who threatened to move to Canada if Bush was reelected.

* Fisk was killed in Iraq. Sheila received a $3 million insurance payoff; she gave half to Lucy and is planning to move to New Talia.

* Lucy tries her hand in the professional wrestling circuit as a wrestler's girlfriend, whose bit is to kick guys in the crotch; her wrestling name is ''Monica Sweet''. The promoter fires her when he feels there's no place for her, prompting Lucy to kick one last guy in the crotch.

* A teaser image suggests Lola will soon return to BDK after Amber turned her into a succubus; but a cryptic message doesn't tell us if she's returning to normal, or if she's returning to the badly drawn style.

* [http://www.badlydrawnkitties.com/OldComics/20050831_gif_view.htm Lydia and Dirk are married.]

* BDK goes Blog (October 2005.) It becomes a site for articles, rants, and game reviews, and switches "BDK, the comic" to a monthly format.

* Since late 2006, a new series of comics, ''[[The Party Times]]'', has begun. It is based on games such as ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''.

* The comic has since rebooted to its old format.

* As of May 2008, [[Kat Smith]] took over as illustrator of BDK. She abandoned the strip in spring of 2010.

'''''Exterminatus Now''''' is a [[webcomic]] drawn in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]''-style, following the adventures of two Inquisitors, a mercenary, and a daemon hunter as they fight the many evil and dangerous creatures that inhabit the world of [[Mobius]]. It is written mostly by Garry "Lothar" Webber and drawn by Alan "The Virus" Graham, with contributions by Martin "Silversword" Faulkner and Stuart "Eastwood" Edney.

The comic and its setting is a parody of a fan project<ref>[http://www.perfectlychaotic.com/grimtemp/grimtemp.html The Grim Darkness]</ref> which tried to create a new Mobius with a deeper backstory and history; a full mythology, political and social set-up. The project has been underway for years with no sign of completion.

==Characters==
=== Protagonists ===
[[Image:ExterminatusNow-HaroldEastwood.gif|thumb|left|Harold Eastwood]]
;'''Harold Eastwood'''
:A grey arctic fox who suffers from a severe addiction to coffee. He can be extremely quick and agile when he feels it necessary, but this is usually only when his well-documented arachnophobia comes into play. He claimed early in the comic that his nickname is "Dirty Harry", but nobody has ever called him that name — even if one of the reasons he got that nickname (his smell) was acknowledged and mentioned by other characters. He also has one of the world's largest collections of pornography due to his failure to get a girlfriend. However, the collection is so large, it flooded half the memory of the CABAL network and it had to be shut down for a week.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-SyrusTheVirusZuviel.jpg|thumb|right|Syrus "The Virus" Zuviel]]
;'''Syrus “The Virus” Zuviel'''
:A brown rat, and one of the two Inquisitors, along with Eastwood. To call him incompetent would be unfair, as Virus is actually very good at what he does. Unfortunately, what he actually "does" has yet to be determined. A career underachiever, he has about as much self-motivation as a Fernexite has social skills. He is calm and collected, except under pressure when it counts, and while possessed mostly of good intentions, he is either too lazy, cowardly, or just plain idiotic to follow through.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-LotharHex.jpg|thumb|left|Lothar Hex]]
;'''Lothar Hex'''
:A quick-tempered echidna cyborg hired by Virus and Eastwood. With warrants for arrest on almost every continent, the Inquisitors probably couldn’t have picked a less appropriate agent of justice. However, by being officially inducted into the warband of an inquisitor, Hex has been acquitted of all crimes to date, and is therefore exempt from punishment.

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-RyoushiRogueNekittou.jpg|thumb|right|Ryoushi "Rogue" Nekittou]]
;'''Ryoushi “Rogue” Nekittou'''
:An orange cat that uses a beam sword as a weapon. Though quite powerful, he is extremely serious, cocky and tends to over-estimate his own abilities. (An important note to remember is that Rogue does not in any way represent his creator, Silversword, as many readers assume.)

=== Antagonists ===
;'''Silas Morth'''
A badger who was a former member of the Mobian Inquisition and former friend of Eastwood (though their friendship seems questionable). Until, the day when during a mission, Morth's right eye was stabbed out. After that he became obsessed with studying the occult and soon became a full-fledged occult leader and attacked the Inquisition. After that Eastwood swore revenge upon Morth.

=== Supporting characters ===
;'''Blasphemy'''
:A [[Wikipedia:Chao (video game)|chao]] that evolved into a daemon-like creature after coming into contact with one of the creatures. Blasphemy is Virus’s personal pet, and has a knack for terrorizing Inquisitor Eastwood. He has also developed a kind of mutual understanding with Lothar (though neither would ever admit it).

;'''Commander Antonius Schaefer'''
:The commander-in-chief of the Mobian Inquisition. A sizable bear, he appears to get his kicks out of sending Virus, Eastwood, Hex, and Nekittou out on exceptionally dangerous missions and sometimes makes it obviously clear that he doesn't expect or want them to return. Apparently, he also has a bizarre fetish for chickens, which Virus used to blackmail him in order to obtain a private lodging.

;'''Simmons'''
:Schaefer's assistant and adjutant, probably a weasel. While feigning respect, he occasionally does manage to get a leg up on his superior. Recently, he became the temporary head of the Mobian Inquisition after an assasination attempt on Commander Schaefer.

;'''The Toaster'''
:Eastwood's toaster is often possessed by a daemon force, and repeatedly attacks him and the others. Even though they replace their toasters often, they still end up possessed over and over again.

;'''Jamilla Townsend'''
:A female penguin that works for the Mobian Inquistion as a covert agent. She has a rather odd codename of 'elusive camel', the reason being all the good codenames were taken and it was either that or 'urinating flounder'. Many sexist jokes of the series are made around her (one reason why she refused to join the team when offered).

=== The Gods ===
In the series there are a series of gods relating to Mobius mythology. There are devided into two groups: the Good Gods and the Dark Gods. Each of the groups is normally seen spenting time playing and arguing over games such as poker, Monopoly and Dungeons and Dragons.

==== Good Gods ====
;'''Gruss'''
:A machine good that looks like a tortoise.

;'''Tyrus'''
:The god of law. He is a lion with a mane of fire.

;'''Ahriman'''
:The god of knowledge. He is an owl wearing glasses.

;'''Mort'''
:The god of death. He is a raven with a black cloak, similar to the [[Wikipedia:Grim reaper|Grim reaper]].

==== Dark Gods ====
;'''The Soulthirster'''
:A god who is the representation of temptations such as lust and wealth, and is a corrupter of souls.

;'''The Hound'''
:A dog-like war god and anger who wishes to destroy everything.

;'''Fernex'''
:An evil technological machine god whose machines ruin life.

;'''The Patterner'''
:A god of fate who entraps people with bad luck and deceit.

== Cultural references ==

[[Image:ExterminatusNow-ExterminatusPlanStrip.jpg|thumb|right|Eastwood explains to readers how Exterminatus works. One of the many references to ''Warhammer 40,000''.]]

''Exterminatus Now'' has many references to the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series. The setting is the same Mobius referred to in the English-speaking video games. Lothar resembles [[Knuckles the Echidna]], although only in that he is the same species while Eastwood bears a passing resemblance to [[Miles "Tails" Prower]] - much to the artist's irritation. Chao like Blasphemy were created in [[Wikipedia:Sonic Adventure|Sonic Adventure]] - and, in one comic, Lothar tells how he was turned down from appearing in the Sonic games in preference to [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]].

There are also plenty of references to [[Wikipedia:Warhammer 40,000|Warhammer 40,000]]; the name of the comic itself is taken from Imperial doctrine. Lothar Hex's name is also directly "borrowed" from a well-known 40k character. Early designs of the Inquisition emblems (Which, as of writing, are undergoing minor redesigns), the original design of the "Spectre" gunship which had more than a passing similarity to the Thunderhawk Gunship employed the [[Wikipedia:Space Marines|Space Marines]], and it can be argued that some of the daemons seen thus far are more than just inspired by the ones that inhabit the game-worlds of [[Wikipedia:Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Warhammer]] and Warhammer 40,000. Again, many are undergoing redesigns.

In addition, there are a handful of references to the works of [[Wikipedia:H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]], notably [[Wikipedia:Cthulhu|Cthulhu]], although other, more subtle, references have surfaced throughout the comic.

Finally, there are the almost mandatory references to [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]], comic books, and video games, amongst others.

*'''Nelson''' (''Vulpus metrosexualus'') is an "urbane fox" who is considered the hero of the show.

[[Image:Mark Allen's Pet Project.jpg|thumb|250px|Poster for ''Mark Allen's Pet Project''.]]

'''''Mark Allen's Pet Project''''' is a [[Wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|stand-up comedy]] show about [[furry|furries]], written and performed by British comedian Mark Allen. The show came about from Allen's attempts to understand the relationship between humans and animals. During his research, he learned about furries and decided to "infiltrate them."<ref>[http://www.commitnonuisance.com/Comedy/Pet_Project.htm ''Mark Allen's Pet Project''], written by Mark Allen. Accessed 4 March 2009.</ref>

Because of the wariness that most furries have with people outside the fandom, Allen bought himself a [[Wikipedia:Dalmatian|Dalmatian]] [[dog]] [[fursuit]].<ref>[http://www.commitnonuisance.com/Comedy/Pet_Project_PR.pdf ''Mark Allen's Pet Project'' Press Release] (PDF). Published by "Good Sense of Humour Productions" on 9 June 2008.

Written for Chortle.co.uk by Jay Richardson. Accessed 30 August 2008.</ref>

In his show, he talks about how he competed in a "[[Fursuit Olympics]]" and talks about, "learning about tolerance anew". His show also features film footage of his visits to furry activities.<ref name="Chortle"/>

On December 9, 2008, Allen wrote about [[furries]] in a sex-based article for [[TimeOut London]]. The article focused primarily on [[fursuit sex]], however noted that this was a minority in the fandom.<ref>[http://www.timeout.com/london/features/6414/Fursuit.html ''Furries''] section of the article [http://www.timeout.com/london/features/6415/20_ways_to_have_sex_in_the_city.html ''20 ways to have sex in the city''].

==Reception==
Chortle.co.uk gave the show 3 out of 5 stars saying, "Though it's all wrapped up a little too pat, his ultimate comparison of the pet-owner relationship to a hostage situation is exceptionally well delivered."<ref name="Chortle"/>

''Fest'' were more critical, giving the show 2 out of 5 stars writing that, "Let's not be too harsh on Allen. He is a funny guy, who could handle traditional stand-up if he wanted. The question he has to ask himself is whether slideshow comedy is for him. For this type of show to work, its subject needs to be acutely observed, the transition between topics needs to be seamless, and there needs to be a constant stream of laugh out loud moments. Allen's presentation has none of this. His performance style is far too laid-back and sloppy. A disappointing show."<ref>[http://www.festmag.co.uk/article/43761-mark-allens-pet-project ''Mark Allen's Pet Project''], reviews by Chris McCall for ''Fest'' on 13 August 2008.

'''Dylan Moran''' is an [[Wikipedia:Republic of Ireland|Irish]] [[Wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|stand-up comedian]], most noted for his [[Wikipedia:Situation comedy|sitcom]] ''[[Wikipedia:Black Books|Black Books]]'', which he co-created, co-wrote and starred in, and was broadcast on the [[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|British]] network [[Wikipedia:Channel 4|Channel 4]] between 2000 and 2004.

In his stand-up comedy show ''What It Is'', which was performed between 2008 and 2009, Moran references [[furry|furries]]. In the [[Wikipedia:DVD|DVD]] release of the show which was recorded in [[Wikipedia:Sydney|Sydney]], [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]], Moran talks about the different ways people seek pleasure. Moran talks about the dangers of people having hobbies, saying:

<blockquote>There was a time where people more honest about all that stuff. You know, people creep up on pleasure now in a very odd way. There's people out there called "furries". Have you heard of them? They dress up as woodland animals and they meet for tea and biscuits. I don't know if it's a sex thing. I hope so. I want to see a giant [[bilby]] fuck a giant [[wombat]] as much as the next person. But within that relationship you've got to be honest and mature. You can't say to somebody, "I need you to dress up as a bilby. This isn't working for me." They might have spent the last three-quarters of an hour shoehorning themselves into that [[numbat]] costume. You have to be respectful."<ref>''Dylan Moran: What It Is'' released 23rd november, 2009.</ref></blockquote>

The History of Humanity: A Somewhat Mildly Amusing Guide to a Now Extinct Species

2009-12-01T14:46:42Z

ISD: /* Recurring jokes */

'''''The History of Humanity: A Somewhat Mildly Amusing Guide to a Now Extinct Species''''' is a comedy [[Wikipedia:Future history|future history]] book project currently being worked on by Ian Wolf, better known under the [[fursona]] of [[The Chained Wolf]]. Set in the far future, the book takes place after the [[Wikipedia:Extinction|extinction]] of [[human|humans]]. In the book, [[furry|furries]] become the next dominant species after humans.

==Plot==
The book is written at least 1.5 million years into the future. The Chained Wolf, a furry journalist, is the author of the history. The book is split into 12 sections: 10 main chapters, an introduction and an epilogue. Each of the 10 chapters covers a different aspect of humanity:<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/705616/ "Second Draft Completed"], [[Fur Affinity]] journal, written by [[The Chained Wolf]] on 17th April, 2009. Accessed 16th May, 2009.</ref>

# The Human-Furry Relationship
# Politics and Government
# Religion and Philosophy
# Media
# Arts and Entertainment
# Technology
# Education
# Environment
# Economics
# Sex

Each chapter ends with a segement called "Human(s) in Focus", which looks at a particular human in the chapter's field admired by Chained from various periods in history, from our current past, present and future.

===Recurring jokes===
The book contains certain recurring elements. For example, over the course of time, several facts have become lost or are now wrong. The book for example claims that no-one knows much about [[Wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler]]. So little is known about him, that not even Hitler's first name is known. The book also confuses the [[Wikipedia:Mona Lisa|''Mona Lisa'']] with [[Wikipedia:L.H.O.O.Q.|''L.H.O.O.Q.'']].

The book also spoofs the sexual relationships of furries. It is [[Stereotype|normally seen]] that furries are perverted. In the book, the reason why furries out-evolve humans is because of their genetic make-up which means that they are more diverse in their appearance and physical ability. In order to increase the diversity, the furries have more sex. The increased amount of sex between furries is seen as humans as perverted and leads to a difficulty in the human-furry relationship and eventually war, which the furries win.

The book also makes humorous references to [[Wikipedia:Teesside|Teesside]], where both Ian Wolf and The Chained Wolf live. In Chained's time, Teesside, known officially as the Anarchy of Teesside, is the most powerful, wealthiest and most environmentally friendly nation on the planet. This a comic comment on Teesside today, which is widely seen as one of the worst places in England to live in, in particular it's pollution. This reference in the use of the current nickname "Smoggie" for Teessiders, although the book comments that most furries think the term is ironic as it now clean.
