'''''Nightshade the Merry Widow''''', originally '''''The Widow''''' is a [[webcomic]] with strong erotic elements featuring [[Invertebrate|humanoid arthropod]] characters. It is a successor to ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'' by [[Ed Kline]] and [[Kishma Danielle]], continued by Kline solo following Danielle's passing in 2014. In November of that year the story went on hiatus to allow for a rerun of ''Dreamwalk Journal''. This was followed in August 2015 by a new continuation of the ''Dreamwalk Journal'' story, partly based on an outline by Danielle, and subsequently by a new story. Since August 2015 the comic has been officially co-credited to [[user:Lee M|Lee M]] and Kimber C as co-writers, and to Bob Partridge for his help. The comic has officially been on hiatus since April 2018.

==Synopsis==

The planet Cyeatea is home to a lush three-dimensional forest inhabited by numerous species of anthropomorphic insects and [[spider]]s, naked apart from waistbelts which they consider necessary for their decency, and possessing human-style (and universally compatible) sexual organs. In their society species prey upon each other, non-lethally but always erotically. Regular characters include Nightshade, the eponymous black widow spider and her fly assistant Peppers, and the honeybees Queen Leonurus, Theta, Damiana and Dill the scientist. Some strips are sexually explicit, but this is simply one aspect of the complex society depicted and the adventures that take place therein.

Note that the early part of the archive on ComicFury confusingly repeats some sequences.

'''''Dreamwalk Journal''''' is a CG [[webcomic]] by [[Ed Kline]] and [[Kishma Danielle]]. Originally appearing in May 2005, the comic went on hiatus in October 2007 and the original site eventually went offline. Kline and Danielle subsequently began a sequel, ''The Widow'', which after a short time was relaunched and slightly retconned as ''[[Nightshade the Merry Widow]]''. In November 2014 ''Nightshade'' went on hiatus to allow for a re-run of the original ''Dreamwalk Journal'' story, with many of the panels posted at larger size, occasionally interrupted by readers' Q&A strips. In August 2015 Chapter 3 of the re-run was interrupted by the addition of new scenes that had been plotted but not drawn during the original run. This ended in 2016. The original, incomplete Chapter 4 was subsequently re-run on Timblr, and later on the main site.

The story was originally accompanied by text pages by Danielle, entitled "Danny's Journal", which expanded upon the main storyline. As of 2020 a repost of these pages is still pending.

==Synopsis==
Danny and Fleur, two young women from 21st century Earth, "dreamwalk" via astral projection to the planet Cyeatea, naked apart from sneakers and Fleur's baseball cap. Cyeatea is home to a lush three-dimensional forest inhabited by numerous species of [[Invertebrate|anthropomorphic insects]] and [[spider]]s, equally naked apart from waistbelts which they consider necessary for their decency, and possessing human-style (and universally compatible) sexual organs. As the comic progresses Danny and Fleur befriend many of these natives, who help them avoid natural dangers and teach them about their society, in which species prey upon each other non-lethally but always erotically.

'''Djandora''' is a science fiction webcomic written and illustrated by JassBefrold, featuring a [[lion]]-like girl, Djeneba, who is trapped in a huge, crumbling edifice and hunted by hostile robots (or "golems"). In a few scenes Djeneba is naked, but there is no explicit sexual content.

It is hosted on [http://djandora.petitesymphony.com/ Petite Symphony], [http://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=Djandora ComicFury] and [http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=125545 Smack Jeeves]. However, the ComicFury and SmackJeeves sites no longer appear to be updating. The main site went on hiatus in September 2015. In April 2018 Befrold deleted the comic, announcing that it would reappear at a later date, but giving no indication as to when.

[http://new.belfrycomics.net/ent/19629 The comic's description on The Belfry WebComics Index] reads:
* Isolated from civilization in an old millennium temple, Djeneba lived happily with her father and that since her birth. But everything changed overnight when she murdered her own father. Shocked and bound to herself, he had left a message, a mission for her... he knew. During this trip, nothing happens as expected, Djeneba will discover the true extent of this temple... unspoken secrets to the dark stories of the past, but mostly the tragic doom that awaits her.

Lee M: Re-replaced outdated link

'''Thomas Burnett Swann''' (October 12 1928 - May 5 1976) was an American poet, critic and [[fantasy]] author.

Many of his fantasy novels feature mythological beings combining [[human]] and [[animal]] characteristics. These include [[centaur]]s, [[satyr]]s and even half-[[Invertebrate|insectile]] races. Possibly his most notable creation is a race of [[minotaur]]s with more human-like characteristics than the classical Greek description.

Dela The Hooda

2015-11-17T00:21:38Z

Lee M: /* External links */ VCL strip archive

{{cleanup}}
'''''Dela The Hooda''''' is an online comic strip that is part science fiction and part slice-of-life, albeit set in unusual circumstances by mixing anthropomorphic and human characters in a domestic setting. The comic features Dela Aldershaw, a vixen character from a parallel universe where magic and science mix freely who finds herself stranded on Earth and attempts to restart her life in the Canadian town of Peabow. The comic began in 1997 and while it has moved from URL to URL and has an irregular posting schedule it is slated to continue until its story conclusion (expected to come in 2008). As of 2005, two treasuries have been published and it has a German translation. The comic is created and drawn by two Canadian artists Style Wager and Greg Older who are currently starting on a fantasy comic entitled DragonQuest currently being published in ''[[Furrlough]]'' by [[Radio Comix]].

==Characters==

''Dela Aldershaw:'' The main character of the strip, Dela is a “hooda”, a humanoid vixen native to Mhâr, a fantasy world that in Dela’s time has achieved interstellar space-flight and other advanced technologies. In her reality humanity has learned to live along side other races that makes up the world of Mhâr (halflings, dwarves, goblins, etc.) so Dela has great difficulty sometimes avoiding interactions with the humans she meets in Peabow, creating all sorts of surreal situations (such as one her neighbors thinking she is a recurring hallucination). Dela is torn between her desire to return to her home reality and the relationships she has with those she has befriended in Peabow.

''Sue Chan:'' Dela’s housemate, Sue is a Chinese-Canadian grad student from nearby Trout University. Sue is stoic and largely unflappable, quickly thinking on her feet even in the face of chaos. Her one major weak spot is her relationship with her traditionalist parents who frown on her liberal views and her lesbian relationship with another student at the University. Her other Achilles heel is her love/hate relationship with Jake McRoss and his relationship with Edith.

''Jake McRoss:'' One of Dela and Sue’s neighbors, Jake is privy to Dela’s existence and is a constant influence in their lives. A photographer and former rock star, Jake is a mixture of geek, lounge lizard, and agony aunt. Although initially attracted to Sue (much to her chagrin), he has recently found a partner in Edith; this has sparked some jealousy in Sue whose feelings towards Jake is ambiguous at best.

''Frank Dunn:'' Dela’s current “significant other”, Frank is a computer guru at Trout University that keeps the institutions networks running. Fank and Dela genuinely love one another but their relationship is rocky at time because of “interracial issues”.

''Edith Piccadilly:'' Edith is a GELF (genetically engineered life form), specifically a four-foot high anthropomorphic mouse. Edith is attracted to both Jake and to Sue and is currently playing matchmaker to both, much to Sue’s annoyance. Edith’s introduction to the cast has alerted Dela that an entire underground community of anthropomorphs exists on Earth, castaways from other realities. Their existence suggests both hope and potential disaster as to the future as Dela gets drawn into their secret circle.

==Fan creations==
A couple of fan-based stories exist of Dela and company as does various amounts of fan art. The largest fan-based project comes from Germany by a number of fans in that country to translate the comic into their native language as Dela die Hooda, making it one of the largest fan demographics for the strip.

'''''Dreamwalk Journal''''' is a CG [[webcomic]] by [[Ed Kline]] and [[Kishma Danielle]]. Originally appearing in May 2005, the comic went on hiatus in October 2007 and the original site eventually went offline. Kline and Danielle subsequently began a sequel, ''The Widow'', which after a short time was relaunched and slightly retconned as ''[[Nightshade the Merry Widow]]''. In November 2014 ''Nightshade'' went on hiatus to allow for a re-run of the original ''Dreamwalk Journal'' story, with many of the panels posted at larger size, occasionally interrupted by readers' Q&A strips. In August 2015 the re-run was interrupted by the addition of a new scene that had been plotted but not drawn during the original run.

The story was originally accompanied by text pages by Danielle, entitled "Danny's Journal", which expanded upon the main storyline. As of June 2015 a repost of these pages is still pending.

==Synopsis==
Danny and Fleur, two young women from 21st century Earth, "dreamwalk" via astral projection to the planet Cyeatea, naked apart from sneakers and Fleur's baseball cap. Cyeatea is home to a lush three-dimensional forest inhabited by numerous species of [[Invertebrate|anthropomorphic insects]] and [[spider]]s, equally naked apart from waistbelts which they consider necessary for their decency, and possessing human-style (and universally compatible) sexual organs. As the comic progresses Danny and Fleur befriend many of these natives, who help them avoid natural dangers and teach them about their society, in which species prey upon each other non-lethally but always erotically.

Lee M: Update

'''Ed Kline''' (aka '''Lord Darke''') is a props and [[costume]] designer and artist. He has designed props and costumes since the 1960s, many of them being [[anthropomorphic]].

He has also worked as a CG artist on the [[webcomic]]s ''The Boondock Sector'' (an anthropomorphic strip inspired by ''Flash Gordon'' and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian stories), ''The Stormrunners'' (an adventure story set on ancient Mars), and most prominently (with writer [[Kishma Danielle]], whom see for further details) ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'' and its sequel ''The Widow'', retitled ''[[Nightshade the Merry Widow]]''. Since Danielle's untimely passing he has continued ''Nightshade'' with assistance from [[User:Lee M|Lee M]], Kimber C. and Bob Partridge. A further projected title, ''Molly Esuom and the Time Machine'', is inspired by George Pal's film of H. G. Wells' ''The Time Machine'', with mice as Eloi and rats as Morlocks.

Kline has posted individual works of art on Renderosity and elsewhere. His work is characterized by detailed background environments, complex technology (often with art deco inspiration), and a great deal of nudity.

'''Djandora''' is a science fiction webcomic written and illustrated by JassBefrold, featuring a [[lion]]-like girl, Djeneba, who is trapped in a huge, crumbling edifice and hunted by hostile robots (or "golems"). In a few scenes Djeneba is naked, but there is no explicit sexual content.

It is hosted on [http://djandora.petitesymphony.com/ Petite Symphony], [http://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=Djandora ComicFury] and [http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=125545 Smack Jeeves]. However, the ComicFury and SmackJeeves sites no longer appear to be updating.

[http://new.belfrycomics.net/ent/19629 The comic's description on The Belfry WebComics Index] reads:
* Isolated from civilization in an old millennium temple, Djeneba lived happily with her father and that since her birth. But everything changed overnight when she murdered her own father. Shocked and bound to herself, he had left a message, a mission for her... he knew. During this trip, nothing happens as expected, Djeneba will discover the true extent of this temple... unspoken secrets to the dark stories of the past, but mostly the tragic doom that awaits her.

'''''Freefall''''' is a popular [[webcomic]] written and drawn by [[Mark Stanley]] and hosted at [[Purrsia]]. It is a humorous [[Science fiction]] story detailing the misadventures of the starship ''Savage Chicken'' and its crew: [[Sam Starfall]], a lovable alien con artist; [[Helix]], a childlike robot; and [[Florence Ambrose]], a genetically engineered "[[Bowman's Wolf]]" (i.e. an [[anthropomorphic]] [[canine]]).

Stanley began writing and drawing the strip on March 30, 1998 as a feature for the occasional furry [[zine]], ''[[YARF!]]'', with the intent of telling the actual story behind the [[character]]s. The comic is updated three times a week, and it celebrated its thousandth strip in August 2004, and its two-thousandth strip in 2011. The comic is drawn in black and white, but the strips were later colored by fans; in mid-April 2006 (#1254), official colored versions by [[George Peterson]] became the default. Some characters from ''Freefall'' also appear at the ''[[Cross Time Cafe]]''.

== Plot outline ==
[[Image:Freefall-1207-panel3.png|right|Florence and Sam]]
The plot focuses on the life of Florence, a hard-working and honest technical engineer, after she is borrowed without consent (stolen) to work for the shady, less-than-ethical Sam Starfall.

Sam is a Sqid; a tentacle-bearing once-aquatic race which lives in a low-technology society on an unknown and unspecified world somewhere in the universe. Wherever that world might happen to be, though, it's not far enough now for the residents of the planet Jean. (The unusual spelling of "Sqid" is explained: "U don't wanna get near one.")

Sam stowed away on a human scout ship and found his way to Jean, a recently-terraformed world populated lightly by a mix of humans and terraforming robots and managed with a kind of frontier improvisation that requires people to mix together with other kinds more than they might otherwise do. Outfitted with a human-resembling environment suit that allows him to move around freely, Sam has been blithely ignoring the rules of Jean's civilization for years. Particularly the ones that have to do with property ownership.

Somehow he got his hands on a wreck of a spaceship, and with the help of his friend/worker, a robot named Helix, and with several rolls of duct tape and not a clue between them about how to build, repair or maintain a spaceship, they tried to get the thing spaceworthy. Deciding that the task was beyond even his advanced duct taping skills, Sam arranged an accident that assigned Florence Ambrose, a highly competent engineer who happened to be a Bowman's Wolf to his ship.

Florence was in cold storage on board the ''Asimov'', a transport starship, at the time, and Jean wasn't her destination. Officially, she's been "misfiled," but instead of making a fuss, she decided to make the best of it. Together, with many misadventures, Sam and Helix assembled the tools and materials, and Florence set to the nearly impossible task of getting the wreck spaceworthy again. By some miracle, they managed it, and Sam rechristened the wreck the ''Savage Chicken''. The repairs weren't perfect, but the gang got their ship, originally designed for interplanetary commerce, cleared as an orbital shuttle, and have flown two missions into orbit.

Florence, meanwhile, has yet to learn that Sam's acquisition of her contract was less than honest. Sam lives in dread each time Florence sends out information about herself that might incriminate him, and also dreads what might happen if Florence finds out. Florence is a large carnivore, but she's been specially trained and conditioned not to hurt humans. Sam, however, is not a human, and every time he wants to try to push her around, she gives the [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff200/fv00157.gif Florence Grin], and Sam finds something better to do.

''Freefall'''s plot has been criticised by some as slow-moving. The comic's thirteen years (in 2011) of thrice-weekly strips has so far covered only a couple weeks' activity in the story.

==Robots==
Robots in the ''Freefall'' universe are sometimes programmed with the same [[Wikipedia:Three Laws of Robotics|Three Laws of Robotics]] that [[Wikipedia:Isaac Asimov|Isaac Asimov]] made famous in his stories, but their [[Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence|artificial intelligence]] is well developed, and they have a lot of autonomy, which helps them cope with a universe that has other [[Wikipedia:Wisdom|sapient]] species besides the humans and robots from Asimov's stories. It is implied that "Three Law Robots" are not created anymore, and modern AI's have more sophisticated safeguards.

A [[Wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]] throughout the comic is the reaction of the robots when they first meet Florence. Since the Bowman's Wolf is a brand new species, the ''Freefall'' robots do not recognise her, and their first reaction is invariably to throw their arms out wide and shout "DOGGY!!!". The effect has been said to be "kinda freaky" when a lot of them do it at once. Despite this childlike behaviour (actually the result of other robots misinterpreting Helix's childlike reaction to Florence as the proper greeting ritual for her species), the ''Freefall'' robots have developed a great respect for Florence, especially after she risked her life to rescue two robots from destruction during a [[Wikipedia:Tropical cyclone|hurricane]]. Because most of the robots on "Jean" are networked together, all the robots on the planet are now aware of Florence's deeds and are eager to help her in any way they can. (Although they still shout "DOGGY!!!" whenever they first meet her in person.)

One storyline covers Florence's trip to Ecosystems Unlimited (the makers of the Bowman's Wolves) to tell them that the robots on Jean are using Dr. Bowman's architecture, the same used to create Florence's brain. In later strips Stanley included a robot from other sources (films, other cartoons, real life, &c) in each strip, identifying them in a note to the following strip.

== Trivia ==
''Freefall'' is noted as being one of the more scientifically accurate science fiction web comics available today.<ref>http://www.talkaboutcomics.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=418970#418970</ref> Author Stanley has stated he intends to keep the science in the comic as realistic as possible without relying on deus ex machina (or "magic") devices such as "warp drive," "artificial gravity," or "transporter beams." The only [[wiktionary:handwave|handwaved]] technology in ''Freefall'' is the DAVE drive (Dangerous And Very Expensive) used for interstellar travel.

An in-joke for ''[[Star Trek]]'' fans is that the Savage Chicken's registry number is 1071-CCN - the reverse of the ''Starship Enterprise's'' NCC-1701. Florence was assigned to this ship due to a clerical error - the ship she was meant to board was 1071-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN CNN].

Another in joke reference is to the [[Wikipedia:George Lucas|George Lucas]] film ''[[Wikipedia:THX 1138|THX 1138]]''. In one of the panels in [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff300/fv00203.htm "A gratuitous shower scene"] when Helix is looking at Florence in the bottom right "THX 1138" appears.

Despite the world of Freefall largely being populated by humans and robots, furry characters other than Florence sneak into the background of the webcomic whenever possible. Often billboards, company logos or posters in the background will have an anthropomorphic furry character on them, usually based on members of the Freefall discussion forum.

''Freefall'' won a [[Wikipedia:Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards|Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards]] in the Outstanding Science Fiction Comic category in 2001,<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ccawards.com/2001.htm | title = 2001 Winners and Nominees | publisher = [[Wikipedia:Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards|Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards]] | accessdate = 2007-11-01 }}</ref> and was a nominee in that category in 2002, 2005 and 2006.

'''''Freefall''''' is a popular [[webcomic]] written and drawn by [[Mark Stanley]] and hosted at [[Purrsia]]. It is a humorous [[Science fiction]] story detailing the misadventures of the starship ''Savage Chicken'' and its crew: [[Sam Starfall]], a lovable alien con artist; [[Helix]], a childlike robot; and [[Florence Ambrose]], a genetically engineered "[[Bowman's Wolf]]" (i.e. an [[anthropomorphic]] [[canine]]).

Stanley began writing and drawing the strip on March 30, 1998 as a feature for the occasional furry [[zine]], ''[[YARF!]]'', with the intent of telling the actual story behind the [[character]]s. The comic is updated three times a week, and it celebrated its thousandth strip in August 2004, and its two-thousandth strip in 2011. The comic is drawn in black and white, but the strips were later colored by fans; in mid-April 2006 (#1254), official colored versions by [[George Peterson]] became the default. Some characters from ''Freefall'' also appear at the ''[[Cross Time Cafe]]''.

== Plot outline ==
[[Image:Freefall-1207-panel3.png|right|Florence and Sam]]
The plot focuses on the life of Florence, a hard-working and honest technical engineer, after she is borrowed without consent (stolen) to work for the shady, less-than-ethical Sam Starfall.

Sam is a Sqid; a tentacle-bearing once-aquatic race which lives in a low-technology society on an unknown and unspecified world somewhere in the universe. Wherever that world might happen to be, though, it's not far enough now for the residents of the planet Jean. (The unusual spelling of "Sqid" is explained: "U don't wanna get near one.")

Sam stowed away on a human scout ship and found his way to Jean, a recently-terraformed world populated lightly by a mix of humans and terraforming robots and managed with a kind of frontier improvisation that requires people to mix together with other kinds more than they might otherwise do. Outfitted with a human-resembling environment suit that allows him to move around freely, Sam has been blithely ignoring the rules of Jean's civilization for years. Particularly the ones that have to do with property ownership.

Somehow he got his hands on a wreck of a spaceship, and with the help of his friend/worker, a robot named Helix, and with several rolls of duct tape and not a clue between them about how to build, repair or maintain a spaceship, they tried to get the thing spaceworthy. Deciding that the task was beyond even his advanced duct taping skills, Sam arranged an accident that assigned Florence Ambrose, a highly competent engineer who happened to be a Bowman's Wolf to his ship.

Florence was in cold storage on board the ''Asimov'', a transport starship, at the time, and Jean wasn't her destination. Officially, she's been "misfiled," but instead of making a fuss, she decided to make the best of it. Together, with many misadventures, Sam and Helix assembled the tools and materials, and Florence set to the nearly impossible task of getting the wreck spaceworthy again. By some miracle, they managed it, and Sam rechristened the wreck the ''Savage Chicken''. The repairs weren't perfect, but the gang got their ship, originally designed for interplanetary commerce, cleared as an orbital shuttle, and have flown two missions into orbit.

Florence, meanwhile, has yet to learn that Sam's acquisition of her contract was less than honest. Sam lives in dread each time Florence sends out information about herself that might incriminate him, and also dreads what might happen if Florence finds out. Florence is a large carnivore, but she's been specially trained and conditioned not to hurt humans. Sam, however, is not a human, and every time he wants to try to push her around, she gives the [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff200/fv00157.gif Florence Grin], and Sam finds something better to do.

''Freefall'''s plot has been criticised by some as slow-moving. The comic's thirteen years (in 2011) of thrice-weekly strips has so far covered only a couple weeks' activity in the story.

==Robots==
Robots in the ''Freefall'' universe are sometimes programmed with the same [[Wikipedia:Three Laws of Robotics|Three Laws of Robotics]] that [[Wikipedia:Isaac Asimov|Isaac Asimov]] made famous in his stories, but their [[Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence|artificial intelligence]] is well developed, and they have a lot of autonomy, which helps them cope with a universe that has other [[Wikipedia:Wisdom|sapient]] species besides the humans and robots from Asimov's stories. It is implied that "Three Law Robots" are not created anymore, and modern AI's have more sophisticated safeguards.

A [[Wikipedia:Running gag|running gag]] throughout the comic is the reaction of the robots when they first meet Florence. Since the Bowman's Wolf is a brand new species, the ''Freefall'' robots do not recognise her, and their first reaction is invariably to throw their arms out wide and shout "DOGGY!!!". The effect has been said to be "kinda freaky" when a lot of them do it at once. Despite this childlike behaviour (actually the result of other robots misinterpreting Helix's childlike reaction to Florence as the proper greeting ritual for her species), the ''Freefall'' robots have developed a great respect for Florence, especially after she risked her life to rescue two robots from destruction during a [[Wikipedia:Tropical cyclone|hurricane]]. Because most of the robots on "Jean" are networked together, all the robots on the planet are now aware of Florence's deeds and are eager to help her in any way they can. (Although they still shout "DOGGY!!!" whenever they first meet her in person.)

One storyline covers Florence's trip to Ecosystems Unlimited (the makers of the Bowman's Wolves) to tell them that the robots on Jean are using Dr. Bowman's architecture, the same used to create Florence's brain. In later strips Stanley included a robot from other sources (films, other cartoons, real life, &c) in each strip, identifying them in a note to the following strip.

== Trivia ==
''Freefall'' is noted as being one of the more scientifically accurate science fiction web comics available today.<ref>http://www.talkaboutcomics.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=418970#418970</ref> Author Stanley has stated he intends to keep the science in the comic as realistic as possible without relying on deus ex machina (or "magic") devices such as "warp drive," "artificial gravity," or "transporter beams." The only [[wiktionary:handwave|handwaved]] technology in ''Freefall'' is the DAVE drive (Dangerous And Very Expensive) used for interstellar travel.

An in-joke for ''[[Star Trek]]'' fans is that the Savage Chicken's registry number is 1071-CCN - the reverse of the ''Starship Enterprise's'' NCC-1701. Florence was assigned to this ship due to a clerical error - the ship she was meant to board was 1071-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN CNN]].

Another in joke reference is to the [[Wikipedia:George Lucas|George Lucas]] film ''[[Wikipedia:THX 1138|THX 1138]]''. In one of the panels in [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff300/fv00203.htm "A gratuitous shower scene"] when Helix is looking at Florence in the bottom right "THX 1138" appears.

Despite the world of Freefall largely being populated by humans and robots, furry characters other than Florence sneak into the background of the webcomic whenever possible. Often billboards, company logos or posters in the background will have an anthropomorphic furry character on them, usually based on members of the Freefall discussion forum.

'''Djandora''' is a science fiction webcomic written and illustrated by JassBefrold, featuring a lion-like girl, Djeneba, who is trapped in a huge, crumbling edifice and hunted by hostile robots (or "golems"). In a few scenes Djeneba is naked, but there is no explicit sexual content.

It is hosted on [http://djandora.petitesymphony.com/ Petite Symphony], [http://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=Djandora ComicFury] and [http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=125545 Smack Jeeves]. However, the ComicFury and SmackJeeves sites no longer appear to be updating.

* Isolated from civilization in an old millennium temple, Djeneba lived happily with her father and that since her birth. But everything changed overnight when she murdered her own father. Shocked and bound to herself, he had left a message, a mission for her... he knew.

Minotaur

Lee M: /* Minotaurs in furry and popular culture */

{{cleanup}}

__NOTOC__
In [[Greek mythology]], the '''Minotaur''' was a creature that was half [[human|man]] and half [[bull]]. It dwelt in the [[Wikipedia:Labyrinth|Labyrinth]], an elaborate maze constructed by [[Wikipedia:King Minos|King Minos]] of [[Wikipedia:Crete|Crete]] and designed by the architect [[Wikipedia:Daedalus|Daedalus]] to hold the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by [[Wikipedia:Theseus|Theseus]]. It is one of the earliest examples of an [[anthropomorphic]] character in history.

==The legend of the Minotaur==

[[Image:Minotaur.jpg|left|150px]]
Before Minos of Knossos became king of Crete he asked the Greek god [[Wikipedia:Poseidon|Poseidon]] for a sign to assure him that he, and not his brother, was to receive the throne. Poseidon agreed to send a white bull on condition Minos would sacrifice the bull back to the god. Indeed, a bull of unmatched beauty came out of the sea. King Minos, after seeing it, found it so beautiful that he instead sacrificed another bull, hoping that Poseidon would not notice.

Poseidon was very angry when he realized what had been done, so he caused Minos's wife, [[Wikipedia:Pasiphae|Pasiphae]], to be overcome with a fit of madness in which she fell in love with the bull. Pasiphae went to Daedalus for assistance, and Daedalus devised a way for her to [[bestiality|satisfy her passions]]. He constructed a hollow wooden cow covered with cowhide for Pasiphae to hide in and allow the bull to mount her. The result of this union was the Minotaur. In some accounts, the white bull went on to become the [[Wikipedia:Cretan Bull|Cretan Bull]] captured by [[Wikipedia:Hercules|Hercules]] for one of his [[Wikipedia:Labours of Hercules|labours]].

The Minotaur had the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull. It was a fierce creature, and Minos, after getting advice from the Oracle at Delphi, had Daedalus construct a gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur. It was located under Minos' palace in Knossos.
[[Image:Minotaurdeath.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Theseus slays the Minotaur]]
Minos had just won a great victory over the Athenians, so demanded that seven Athenian youths and seven maidens be sent every ninth year to be devoured by the Minotaur. When the third sacrifice came round, the Greek hero Theseus volunteered to go to slay the monster. [[Wikipedia:Ariadne|Ariadne]], Minos' daughter, fell in love with Theseus and helped him get out of the maze by giving him a ball of thread, allowing him to retrace his path. Theseus killed the Minotaur (with a magical sword Ariadne had given him) and led the other Athenians back out the labyrinth.

Minos, angry that Theseus was able to escape, imprisoned Daedalus and his son [[Wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]] in the labyrinth. They were able to escape by building wings for themselves, but Icarus famously died during the escape.

Sometimes the Minotaur is represented as a bull with a human torso instead of a head, like a bull version of the [[Centaur]].

==Truth behind the legend==

The story of the Minotaur may have come from the Minoan worship of the bull. Shrines throughout Crete have been uncovered dedicated to the bull, which was to represent strength. Crete was a military nation, the very first maritime military empire in the world.

[[Image:Bulldancelg.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Bulljumping, a popular sport and important sacred ritual in Minoan culture]]
The concept of the sacrificing of youths to bulls may have come from the ancient sport of [[Wikipedia:bulljumping|bulljumping]]. The sport was extremely popular in Minoan culture and much art exists of it that archaeologists at first believed to be some sort of ritualistic sacrifice. In bulljumping, the naked youth ([[male]] or [[female]]) would run at a charging bull and in a display of athletic prowess and courage, grab the bull by the horns and vault over the bull. The mortality rate of this sport was very high, again lending to the legend.

[[Image:Minoanbull.jpg|right|thumb|101px|The Minoan Bull Head, a famous religious artifact. Photo by [[Ken Redtail]]]]
Massive ruins that are believed to be the ruins of Minos' palace have been found at Knossos, but the labyrinth has not. The enormous number of rooms, staircases and corridors in the palace led romantic Victorian archaeologists to believe that the palace itself was the source of the myth, but the absence of creature comforts like bathroom facilities tend to disprove this theory in modern day. It is now often believed to be some sort of temple, similar to [[Wikipedia:Solomon|King Solomon]]'s temple.

Some modern mythologists regard the Minotaur as a solar personification and a Greek adaptation of the Baal-Moloch of the [[Wikipedia:Phoenicia|Phoenicians]]. The slaying of the Minotaur by Theseus in that case indicates the abolition of such sacrifice by the advance of Greek civilization.

A political interpretation has that the Greeks freed themselves from the tributes and the power of Crete.

==Minotaurs in furry and popular culture==
Minotaurs as a whole are quite uncommon in the [[furry fandom]]. The concept though of a half-man, half-bull, is one of the earliest examples of [[anthropomorphic]] characters.

Minotaurs feature in some [[fantasy]] [[role-playing game]]s as a race of monsters rather than a unique creature:
* In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' minotaurs worship the demon lord Baphomet, and whilst they mainly function as mere monsters, in the ''Dragonlance'' campaign setting, they are a reasonably civilised and cultured race.
* In [[World of Warcraft]], the [[Tauren]] are essentially a race of minotaurs.
* The card game [[Wikipedia:Magic: the Gathering|Magic: the Gathering]] features minotaurs as being both savage (the Hurloon minotaurs) and tribal yet somewhat cultured (the Talruum).
* In the online game [[Wikipedia:Shadowbane|Shadowbane]], players are able to assume the role of a minotaur, and minotaurs in general form a key role in the backstory and lore and are depicted as a full range, from the savage to the civilized.
* In the online game ''Dark Age of Camelot'', the minotaur was introduced as a playable race as well as a monster in an expansion.
* In the ''Warhammer'' setting, minotaurs are a breed of beastmen chosen by the Chaos Gods to guard their temples. Minotaur champions, known as 'Doom Bulls' also lead armies of beastmen, mortals, and daemons.
* A SciFi Channel original movie depicted the minotaur as a large undead bull monster, a departure of the usual image of the minotaur.
* Ox, the on-stage persona of one of the members of the Finnish band Lordi, is described as being an undead 'man-bull', a reference to the mythical minotaur.
* [[Thomas Burnett Swann]]'s ''Minotaur Trilogy'' of fantasy novels features Silver Bells and Eunostos, last two of their race; possessing more humanoid heads and faces than classical depictions of minotaurs, they are more like bovine versions of satyrs.

Invertebrate

Lee M: /* Fictional invertebrates in media */

[[File:Vizzzikik the vespid by hatton slayden.jpg|220px|right|thumb|Vizzzikik, an anthro invertebrate. Art by [[Hatton Slayden]].]]
[[File:QBee-Capcom's Darkstalkers.jpg|220px|right|thumb|Q-Bee, an [[Human|humanoid]] [[bee (species)|bee]] (Capcom)]]
An '''invertebrate''' is any [[animal]] that lacks a [[W:Vertebral column|backbone]]. Most lack an internal skeleton entirely, but some, such as [[W:cephalopods|cephalopods]], have primitive [[W:Gladius (cephalopod)|internal skeletons]] ('''Gladius'''). This includes [[W:Mollusk|mollusks]], [[W:Arachnids|arachnid]] ([[spider]]s), [[W:Insects|insects]] and many others, with an estimated 97-98% of all animal species being invertebrates, and the remaining 2-3% being vertebrates.

Invertebrates inspire [[W:Entomophobia|fear or disgust]] in many people for various reasons, including their appearance and the often unfamiliar crawly sensation that accompanies the touch of legs and feelers against the skin. Most are actually harmless to man and in many cases they play a much larger role in an [[W:ecosystem|ecosystem]] than other animals. As a result, invertebrates have often been used as monsters in myth and legend, such as the [[w:kraken|Kraken]], based on the [[w:giant squid|giant squid]], and [[w:Arachne|Arachne]] from Greek mythology.

A number of people keep invertebrates as [[pet]]s. Most common are [[Wikipedia:tarantula|tarantulas]], [[Wikipedia:mantidae|mantis]]es and [[Wikipedia:Madagascan_Hissing_Cockroach|Madagascan hissing roaches]], but other [[species]] are known to be domesticable as well. Some invertebrates have been domesticated by [[human]]s for [[W:Beneficial_insects|agricultural purposes]], such as [[honey bee]]s.

[[W:Arthropods|Arthropods]] (from the Greek ''árthron'', meaning joint, and podos, meaning leg or foot), are the most diverse [[W:Phylum|phylum]] of invertebrates, consisting of an estimated 80% or so of all animal species. They contain the [[W:Insect|insects]], [[W:Arachnids|arachnids]], [[W:Crustacean|crustaceans]], [[W:Myriapod|myriapods]] (millipedes and centipedes), and others.

Arthropods are known for their hard [[exoskeleton]]s comprised of [[W:chitin|chitin]] and often reinforced with [[W:calcium carbonate|calcium carbonate]], distinct body segments, distinct limb jointing and six or more limbs (with all insects having exactly six limbs).

== Invertebrates and furry ==

While some will prefer to make invertebrate [[anthro]]s with full features such as [[exoskeleton]], [[antennae,]] multiple [[limb]]s and [[abdomen]], most make use of a minimal set of features - typically only antennae, [[wing]]s (when present in the actual species) and body patterns, with exception of spiders, which are usually portrayed with six legs plus body patterns. Another known concept is the one of a [[drider]], a [[W:Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]-based concept which consists of a [[taur]] form with the lower body being of a spider.

Most anthropomorphic invertebrate characters tend to be arthropods, perhaps because of their ubiquitous presence across the world. In particular, invertebrate characters tend to be insects or arachnids.

The level of anthropomorphism tends to vary considerably, for example between retaining the limb number, a full exoskeleton, compound eyes, wings, [[mandible]]s, etc., with considerable differences between characters; for example, a character with a more humanoid looking exoskeleton might have mandibles, whereas another might have a more insectoid exoskeleton but a humanoid mouth, and so on.

While some will prefer to make invertebrate [[anthro]]s with full features such as [[exoskeleton]], [[antennae,]] multiple [[limb]]s and [[abdomen]], most make use of a minimal set of features - typically only antennae, [[wing]]s (when present in the actual species) and body patterns, with exception of spiders, which are usually portrayed with six legs plus body patterns. Another known concept is the one of a [[drider]], a [[W:Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]-based concept which consists of a [[taur]] form with the lower body being of a spider.

Most anthropomorphic invertebrate characters tend to be arthropods, perhaps because of their ubiquitous presence across the world. In particular, invertebrate characters tend to be insects or arachnids.

The level of anthropomorphism tends to vary considerably, for example between retaining the limb number, a full exoskeleton, compound eyes, wings, [[mandible]]s, etc., with considerable differences between characters; for example, a character with a more humanoid looking exoskeleton might have mandibles, whereas another might have a more insectoid exoskeleton but a humanoid mouth, and so on.

'''''Nightshade the Merry Widow''''' (originally ''The Widow'') is a CG [[webcomic]] with strong erotic elements featuring [[Invertebrate|humanoid arthropod]] characters. It is a successor to ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'' by [[Ed Kline]] and [[Kishma Danielle]], continued by Kline solo following Danielle's passing in 2014. In November of that year the story went on hiatus to allow for a rerun of ''Dreamwalk Journal''.
In January 2015 British fan [[user:Lee M|Lee M]] began assisting Kline on a future storyline.

==Synopsis==
The planet Cyeatea is home to a lush three-dimensional forest inhabited by numerous species of anthropomorphic insects and [[spider]]s, naked apart from waistbelts which they consider necessary for their decency, and possessing human-style (and universally compatible) sexual organs. In their society species prey upon each other, non-lethally but always erotically. Regular characters include Nightshade, the eponymous black widow spider and her fly assistant Peppers, and the honeybees Queen Leonurus, Theta, Damiana and Dill the scientist. Some strips are sexually explicit, but this is simply one aspect of the complex society depicted and the adventures that take place therein.
