&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Underdog Productions logo.jpg|right|165px]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Fox Broadcasting logo.png|right|95px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''''American Dad!''''' is a satirical American animated series produced by [[Underdog Productions]] and television producer [[Wikipedia:Seth MacFarlane|Seth MacFarlane's]] [[Wikipedia:Fuzzy Door Productions|Fuzzy Door Productions]] for [[Wikipedia:20th Century Fox Television|20th Century Fox Television]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== American Dad! and furry ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:StanAndBullockAmericanDadFurryConvention.jpg|right|thumb|210px|Stan and Bullock at a furry convention]]&lt;br /&gt;
The third episode of the fourth series, &amp;quot;One Little Word&amp;quot;, included a short scene set within a furry [[convention]]. The spot involves the show's lead character, Stan, and his boss Bullock, and is within a larger scene involving Bullock's attempt to pick up a girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pair start out at a regular nightclub, but after failing to find anything but tall, beautiful white women they proceed to hanging out in a [[Wikipedia:Goth|Goth]] bar, participating in a [[Wikipedia:line dance|line dance]] in a barn, playing [[Wikipedia:spin the bottle|spin the bottle]] with a group of teens, and at a furry convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In each case, they are shown wearing the appropriate clothing; at the convention, this is naturally a [[fursuit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After their conversation, a [[squirrel]] fursuiter shows up and appears to proposition Bullock for [[Wikipedia:anal sex|anal sex]]. On being turned down, he turns away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In what appears to be a reference to [[Wikipedia:roadkill|roadkill]], a [[Wikipedia:car|car]]suiter (also with a male voice) appears and bumps into the squirrel, knocking him to the floor. The carsuiter proceeds to hump against the squirrel, apparently to their mutual enjoyment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The car reappears at the end of the episode, humping the unconscious body of the show's space alien, Roger. He is revealed to be Dick, a member of Bullock's CIA staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{q|Stan: Helping you pick up girls? That's our dangerous mission? -- Bullock: It is tonight, Number One. Now keep your eye out for the rarest of birds: the plump Asian [[Wikipedia:skank|skank]].}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{q|Carsuiter: Vroom. Vroom. *humps* -- Squirrel fursuiter: Oh yeah. I'm a squirrel, and that feels greeeaaatt.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
The clip was positively received within the fandom as a good case of humor not taken too far in nature.&lt;br /&gt;
* Social-network [[MyFursona]] temporarily changed it's banner image to read MyCarsona, featuring an image of the car-suiter from the episode.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Split}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because the furry fandom is so Internet-centric, many Internet users are familiar with it, and webcartoonists are no exception. Several webcomics―furry and non-furry alike―have run storylines or individual strips pertaining to the fandom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== [[Diesel Sweeties]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, two characters in Dielsel Sweeties get make-overs that make them look like anthropomorphic characters. (The story begins [http://dieselsweeties.com/archive.php?s=1682 here]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Player vs. Player ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2002, the comic [[Wikipedia:Player vs. Player|''Player vs. Player'']] by Scott Kurz featured a &amp;quot;public service announcement&amp;quot; titled &amp;quot;Fur Is Bad.&amp;quot; Lead character Brent went on a rant about furries instead, describing them as &amp;quot;sick deviants who secretly want to have sex with animals.&amp;quot; At which point Jade pops in and tells him that he was supposed to be speaking out against wearing fur, not furries. Although this strip was meant to be a one-shot deal, backlash from his readers inspired a followup series in which furries (all in partial costume) show up at the office to protest. They are finally scared off by Skull the troll who mistakes them for Pokémon. (The series begins [http://www.pvponline.com/2002/09/30/mon-sep-30/ here].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Penny Arcade ==&lt;br /&gt;
Well-known webcomic [[Wikipedia:Penny Arcade|''Penny Arcade'']] ran a strip also in 2002 called &amp;quot;Things We Hate, Volume One.&amp;quot; Panel one featured a traced picture by [[XianJaguar]] with the caption &amp;quot;We hate animals who are also people. This includes, but is not limited to: Sexy Fox Ladies - Animals Going to School - Smouldering Cheetah Temptresses.&amp;quot; It went on to say that [[Wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'']] and the PBS show [[Wikipedia:Wishbone (TV series)|''Wishbone'']] were exceptions to this rule. Incidentally, there has never been a &amp;quot;Things We Hate: Volume Two.&amp;quot; (The strip can be read [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/04/03 here].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sinfest ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Sinfest on furries.png|thumb|right|I'm not a furry! I'm Bunny-Man!]]&lt;br /&gt;
Possibly the most well-known of furry-related comic stories, the ''Sinfest'' series involves Slick preparing to go to the laundromat. Realizing he has put his entire wardrobe in the hamper, he ends up wearing a rabbit costume there, to the shock and horror of Squigley, who thinks he's &amp;quot;been seduced by the furry side of the Force.&amp;quot; In his defense, Slick tells him he's a superhero, Bunny-Man, who lives in the &amp;quot;Bunny Patch&amp;quot; and carries &amp;quot;carrot nunchucks.&amp;quot; Squigley seems to accept this claim. (The story begins [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1930 here].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Deep Fried ==&lt;br /&gt;
Jason Yungbluth's comic ''Deep Fried'' had a short series involving the main characters, Beepo and Roadkill, visiting a furry convention. While Beepo went off to meet a girl he met online, Roadkill, a cat, harrassed one of the vendors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Something Positive ==&lt;br /&gt;
The satirical, irreverent comic ''Something Positive'' has referenced furries several times. In 2003 a furry-hater and a furry fan went before &amp;quot;Almighty [[Wikipedia:Cthulhu|Cthulhu]]&amp;quot; and asked him to settle their dispute. He ended up eating both of them. ([http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp10172003.shtml link]) In 2005, a Reader Q&amp;amp;A featured the question, &amp;quot;What would it look like if the S*P cast were turned into furry characters?&amp;quot; The answer was simply a picture of three furries having hanged themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dork Tower ==&lt;br /&gt;
Gamer comic ''Dork Tower'' recently ran a continuity in which Matt explains to a girl he meets in a restaurant that he isn't interested in meeting women because they all run away screaming or try to call the police when they find out he's a gamer. She says she understands what that's like because she's a furry. At this, Matt instantly zips away and proceeds to phone the police. In following strips the two have a thoughtful conversation about furries and gamers and how they're really not so different: &amp;quot;Are our fur, fangs, or claws any sillier than your plus three armor or magic missles?&amp;quot; Then she notices Carson the Muskrat (the strip's token animal character) sitting across the restaurant and mistakes him for someone in costume. (The series begins [http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/archive.asp?nextform=viewcomic&amp;amp;id=1151 here] ― note the URL at the bottom.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a later strip, Ken tells Matt that he's waiting for his friend Huey, who he says is a [[wikipedia:Black_Panther_Party|Black Panther]]. Matt gets scared and runs off, which puzzles Ken, as it turns out Huey is actually a (Caucasian) furry, complete with black panther fursuit. [http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/archive.asp?nextform=viewcomic&amp;amp;id=1263]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dandy and Company ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dandy and Co. on furries.png|thumb|right|Are you a werewolf?]]&lt;br /&gt;
A storyline from Derrick Fish's [[Wikipedia:Dandy and Company|''Dandy and Company'']] in 2004 involved Bernard getting turned into a werewolf of sorts. The transformation, oddly, leaves him wolflike in appearance 24/7―essentially anthropomorphic like his dog Dandy―but he turns into a giant, hulking killing machine when exposed to moonlight. To prevent the latter from occurring, Dandy chains him up in the basement ([http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/06/ link]) until morning. His mother enters the room and, horrified, exclaims, &amp;quot;Oh God, I've failed as a mother!&amp;quot; (Followup strips are [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/11/ here] and [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/22/ here].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A later storyline involved characters from the strip switching species (Dandy became a human strongly resembling Bernard, while Bernard and his parents were all dogs, etc.) at the hands of a prankish demon. Bernard wonders if other comics on the Web have been affected as well. The strip then cuts to the set of ''Player vs. Player'': Brent has become a panda, and the Giant Panda has become human. Dandy (in human form) then quips, &amp;quot;All I know is that right now, every &amp;quot;furry&amp;quot; on the 'Net is twitching in a glee-induced seizure.&amp;quot; ([http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2007/02/05/ link])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tails from the Mynarski Forest ==&lt;br /&gt;
Richard T. Matheson's [[Mynarski Forest|''Tails from the Mynarski Forest'']] has also referenced furries. In a series in 2003, Skippy and Liska have been inexplicably transformed into humans. In an attempt to get money to buy food, Liska knocks out a passerby (who turns out to be the cartoonist himself). They are both arrested for this. In their defense, they admit to being animals trapped in human bodies. When the deputy asks the arresting officer if he thinks they're &amp;quot;faking for an insanity plea,&amp;quot; the chief replies, &amp;quot;No, no! I've read about these crazy furry fans in [[Wikipedia:Vanity Fair (magazine)|''Vanity Fair'']]!&amp;quot; This is the only known webcomic to directly reference [[:Category:Media coverage|furries in the media]]. (The relevant strip is [http://mynarskiforest.purrsia.com/xsl03_19.htm here].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sabrina Online ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although it is probably often missed (due to [[Eric W. Schwartz|Eric Schwartz]]'s habit of placing dialog baloons at the bottom of the strip), a [[Sabrina Online]] strip from 1999 also references furry fans. Having just met her online boyfriend, RC, Sabrina says, &amp;quot;I'm just happy you didn't turn out to be some disgusting old creep.&amp;quot; RC: &amp;quot;Or a ten-year-old kid.&amp;quot; Sabrina: &amp;quot;Or a fur fan&amp;quot; (sic). (The strip is at the top of [http://www.sabrina-online.com/1999-04.html this archive page.])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bonus Stage ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Flash series ''Bonus Stage'' occasionally mentions furries at random. Episode 36, &amp;quot;Virtual Finger&amp;quot;, begins with Phil punching out [[Wikipedia:Batman|Batman]]. As Batman is lying on the ground, injured, Phil quips, &amp;quot;That'll teach you to... be a furry. Like on ''[[CSI]]''.&amp;quot; ([http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage36.html link]) In Episode 40, &amp;quot;Accursed Meeting&amp;quot;, Phil asks what happened to the spirit that used to haunt the house next door, and Joel says, &amp;quot;I think he went to a furry convention.&amp;quot; He then goes on to speculate that furries are ninjas. ([http://www.bonusstages.com/bonusstage40.html link])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Animals Have Problems Too ==&lt;br /&gt;
One strip of ''Animals Have Problems Too'' features a &amp;quot;Wolf With An Image Ruined By Furries&amp;quot;. The wolf in question exclaims: &amp;quot;No more sexy posing! I'm sick of it!&amp;quot; ([http://animalshaveproblemstoo.com/view.php?id=039 link])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== xkcd ==&lt;br /&gt;
[http://xkcd.com/471/ Strip 471] of the webcomic [[Wikipedia:Xkcd|xkcd]] involves a discussion of furries used as a source of ridicule on the internet.&lt;br /&gt;

I've written a simple Google Gadget that will display the news articles from the main page.  I actually wrote this a few months ago, and just decided to post it now...  If anyone's interested, the page in the iGoogle content directory is [http://www.google.com/ig/directory?url=http://efitu2.googlepages.com/google_wikifur_news.xml here], and the link to add it is [http://www.google.com/ig/adde?moduleurl=http%3A//efitu2.googlepages.com/google_wikifur_news.xml here].&lt;br /&gt;

 returns to doing whatever the heck he wants to do. From his appearance, he seems to be&lt;br /&gt;
 a normal, albeit odd, [[red fox]]. However, from his friendly and easy-going behavior, he&lt;br /&gt;
 appears to have a polluted genetic linage. His actions are most closely befitting a&lt;br /&gt;
 domestic [[dog]], although it is near impossible to tell the breed or family linage. Now that&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:Raemuz8mr.gif|right|thumb|Raemuz looking off into the distance.  By [[Schizo Wolf]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Raemuz''' lives in Colorado. Online, he is on IRC channels such as Anthrochat, and some MMORPGs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:P10100179pc.jpg|right|thumb|Raemuz [[IRL]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
Before entering the furry fandom, Raemuz was a horrible [[Otherkin]].  This part of his history is shrouded in mystery.  At some point he ended up on [[Furnet]] IRC.  Around the same time, he met another furry named [[Corrosive]] in his high school, and they both joined the channel #[[safurs]], influenced by an amusing flash cartoon of one of the channel members being banned.  They stuck with the channel, although their relationship with each other continued to drift apart until one night, [[Corrosive]]'s tires were slashed.  He blamed Raemuz for this, and to this day, Raemuz denies it.  This pretty much destroyed their friendship with each other, for the time being.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At around the same time, the famed network split between [[Anthrochat]] and [[Furnet]] was in full swing, perpetrated by none other than the goons of #[[safurs]].  This caused the downfall of #[[safurs]], seeing as its sole purpose was to troll the draconian measures Snowpony had on her network.  The channel dissolved, and Raemuz went to a channel called #[[nonfurs]].  This chanel turned into #[[sanefurs]] then back into #[[nonfurs]] again, for some stupid reason.  Raemuz now hangs out in #[[gayfaggotinc]].&lt;br /&gt;

One of the long-running inside jokes of [[furry fandom]] is that of drawing a female character naked with a '''crowbar'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The origins of the joke are said to be a convention sometime in the 1980s.  As the story goes, someone asked [[Steve Gallacci]] to draw a picture of [[Erma Felna]] naked.  He declined, but [[Jim Groat]] who was nearby and overheard the conversation, asked again in a whiny [[fanboy]] voice to draw her naked, and with a crowbar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, it has become something of a cliché/running joke that any [[artist]] in the furry fandom will at some point produce a picture of a female naked with a crowbar, or that any sufficiently well-known female character will be drawn naked with a crowbar (one recent [[LiveJournal]] discussion mentioned [[Florence Ambrose]]).  Some artists have done one or more pictures specifically to pay homage to the joke.  It has been parodied in a few stories, including [[Sabrina Online: The Story]], and even made it into one edition of an [[wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] game.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''[[Furry fandom]]''' is a popular cultural phenomenon and a community of people who are interested in aspects of [[animal]]s and animal/[[human]] beings in art, literature, visual media and/or as the basis for a personal philosophy and/or [[lifestyle]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Before the Fandom==&lt;br /&gt;
The genre itself may be as old as civilization.  Anthropomorphic animal characters are found in the art of many ancient cultures.  Anthropomorphic characters from Egyptian mythology continue to this day to be a source of inspiration to furry artists.   The earliest example of furry literature commonly cited by furry fans is [[Aesop’s Fables]], which date to around 500 BC.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.claws-and-paws.com/furry/non-fiction/faq.html Furries] - description of the fandom with reference to Aesop’s Fables.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Furry characters then continued to proliferate through the ages in the form of folk tales, many of which are a common part of our modern culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Formation of the Furry Fandom==&lt;br /&gt;
Many agree that furry fandom had its origins in [[funny animal fandom]], which has existed since at least the 1940s.  In the 1980s, a group of fans interested in animal [[character]]s in [[comic]]s and stories was forming around other organized fan activities. [[Room parties]] at [[science fiction]] [[convention]]s (furry parties), meetings of the [[C/FO]], and [[APA]] [[collating party|collating parties]] (for [[funny animal]] and cartooning APAs, such as [[Vootie]] and [[Rowrbrazzle]]). Fans kept in contact with each other on computer [[BBS]]s (Bulletin Board Systems) like the [[Tiger's Den]], [[StormGate Aerie]] and [[Kyim's Scratching Post]]; and in the early 1990s through on-line chat environments (e.g. [[Wikipedia:GEnie|GEnie]], [[Wikipedia:CompuServe|CompuServe]], [[Wikipedia:Prodigy (ISP)|Prodigy]] and [[Wikipedia:Delphi online service|Delphi]]). APAs and [[fanzine]] &amp;quot;wars&amp;quot; became popular, with mail-in art and [[comic]] contributions collated and distributed to all members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Introduction of classic literature===&lt;br /&gt;
It is not until the 1800’s that more specifically documented examples of the furry genre can be chronicled.  And they are seen appearing in a variety of different forms of entertainment.  These include the earliest author credited animal related fairytales by Hans Christian Anderson in 1836, the poem The Owl And The Pussycat by Edward Leer in 1871, Lewis Carroll’s fantasy novel Alice In Wonderland in 1865, Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake in 1875, Beatrix Potter’s illustrated children’s books in 1890, Rudyard Kipling’s collection of talking animal stories ''[[The Jungle Book]]'' in 1894, H. G. Wells’ 1896 novel The Island Of Doctor Moreau was the first appearance of intelligent animals in science fiction, and the first appearance of anthropomorphic animals in comic strips was James Swinnerton’s The Little Tigers in 1895.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History of Furry Fandom==&lt;br /&gt;
In the earlier days of the fandom, furry fans used to gather mostly at [[science fiction]], [[fantasy]], and [[comic]] conventions before the [[furry parties]] broke out into full-fledged [[furry]] conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1960s===&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 60’s the beginnings of a backlash against this could be seen.  The pop culture of the late sixties and early 70’s used funny animal imagery in many creative works meant for adults.  The Beatles wearing fursuits on the cover of Magical Mystery Tour and the advent of Robert Crumb’s [[Fritz the Cat]] showed that many creative people saw more use for animal characters than children’s entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1970s===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1976, Furry Folk also became the name of a popular line of animal puppets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.allthingsbright.com/FurryFolk/index.html Furry Folk Puppets] - example of the term Furry gaining popularity in the 70's.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  From that time, the term “Furry” has gradually gained popularity as an alternative to the term “Funny Animals,” as it does not carry a connotation of humor, and it is inclusive of all fantasy animals, not just the ones that walk upright and wear clothes.  The term has today reached such prominent use that it is not unheard of for reviewers to refer to the characters in such films as [[Over The Hedge]] as “Furries.” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/18/AR2006051802306.html?sub=AR Critters Offer Consumer Retorts] - review in which the characters in Over The Hedge are referred to as furries.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term “Funny Animals” soon spread beyond comic strips and into the realm of illustrated children's books.  Authors such as Palmer Cox, Laura Rountree Smith and Neil Wayne Northey not only referred to their anthropomorphic characters as “Funny Animals,” they also referred to them collectively as “the furry folk” and “furry friends.” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:CZWdgw8LLhkJ:remnantprophecy.sdaglobal.org/Librarypdf/Children%27s/Paddletail-Beaver.pdf+Furry+Folk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=437 Neil Wayne Northey's Paddletail] - example of early 20th century literature with the term Furry Folk highlighted throughout.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term “Furry” has since remained in the background of animal related fantasy.  Particularly in the English folk culture scene.  As late as 1978, bands like Genesis and Jethro Tull were still using this furry folk terminology to refer to anthropomorphic animals in their songs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:k-4PKXz_s3sJ:www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jethro%2Btull/the%2Bmouse%2Bpolice%2Bnever%2Bsleeps_20071013.html+little+furry+folk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=40 The Mouse Police Never Sleeps] 1978 Jethro Tull lyrics with Furry Folk highlighted.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serious animal literature soon began to appear that proved to have surprising appeal for adults.  Richard Adams’ [[Watership Down]] and Richard Bach’s [[Wikipedia:Jonathan Livingston Seagull|Jonathan Livingston Seagull]] topped the best seller list in the early 70’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 70’s, attitudes began to change again.  Fantasy in general began to enjoy more respect among adult audiences, eventually becoming a major entertainment market in which there was considerable room for furry elements, such as the [[Wikipedia:Ewoks|Ewoks]] and [[Wikipedia:Wookies|Wookies]] of [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]], and the mythical creatures in [[Wikipedia:Piers Anthony|Piers Anthony]] novels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1980s===&lt;br /&gt;
The fandom for furry characters traces its organization back to a science fiction convention in 1980,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''[http://www.arclight.net/~yarf/YARF_Chronology.html Yarf Chronology Of Furry Fandom]''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; when a drawing of a character from [[Steve Gallacci]]’s Albedo started a discussion of anthropomorphic characters in science fiction novels, spawning a discussion group that met at various [[science fiction]] and [[comics]] [[convention]]s.   &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In 1980, at the [[Worldcon|World Science Fiction Convention]] in [[wikipedia:Boston, Massachusetts|Boston, Massachusetts]], an [[Erma Felna]] painting by [[Steve Gallacci]] was entered in the art show. The [[funny animal]] artwork in an otherwise realistic setting drew attention among fans showing a common interest in [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy]] about intelligent animals. This led to an informal series of gatherings at Worldcons and [[Westercon]]s, which eventually branched into a club centered around [[Rowrbrazzle]] to organize more &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; [[furry parties]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1982 saw the release of four all ages furry films - [[The Secret Of NIMH]], [[The Flight Of Dragons]], [[The Last Unicorn]] and [[The Plague Dogs]].  While the fantasy novel market soon began producing such titles as Alan Dean Foster’s [[Spellsinger]] series, Brian Jacques’ [[Redwall]] and Tad Williams’ [[Tailchaser’s Song]].  And the independent comics market produced titles as varied as [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]], [[Albedo]], [[Usagi Yojimbo]], [[Cutey Bunny]], [[Critters]] and [[Omaha The Cat Dancer]]. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Over the next several years, a gradually increasing number of “furry fans” developed [[fanzines]] and eventually began to have gatherings at house parties. By 1987 enough interest had been generated for the first furry convention.   &lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
As the internet became more accessible, it became the most popular means for furry fans to keep in touch and share their artistic efforts. This gained the fandom higher visibility and it began to grow rapidly.   &lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
Virtual environments, such as [[MUD|MUCK]]s, soon became the most popular places on the net for furry fans to meet and communicate. One of the oldest and largest MUCKs in existence is [[FurryMUCK]]. One of the newest virtual environments to attract furry fans is [[Second Life]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Near the beginning of the 80’s, the furry genre enjoyed the first explosion of popularity it had seen since the 1930’s.  Furry characters littered the animation world as well as toy stores.  But there was also adult furry entertainment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1985, at the [[San Diego Comic Convention]], Judy Niver (one of the founders of the [[C/FO]]), hosted a party in her room at the Hotel San Diego. The [[Rowrbrazzle]] APA group was also having a party in the same hotel, and there was much overlap in attendance. After that party at Comic Con, it became a tradition to have at least one furry party during the convention. In more recent years, the Comic Con party has been called [[CritterConDiego]] and [[Califur Diego]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, at the 1985 [[Westercon]] Science Fiction Convention in [[wikipedia:Sacramento Valley|Sacramento]], [[wikipedia:California|California]], [[Mark Merlino]] and [[Rod O'Riley]] hosted a [[room party]] in Sheldon and Tony Linker's room. Most room parties at sci-fi and fantasy cons have a theme, so the party was called The [[Prancing Skiltaire]] party, named after Mark's apartment. The show [[Animalympics]] was screened, along with some [[wikipedia:Warner Bros.|Warner Bros.]] short cartoons, and collections of [[furry art]]work and [[:Category:Short stories|short stories]] were on display. Several visitors to the party were very interested in the videos and the art. Some showed [[sketchbook]]s and collections of their furry art. Their party at the 1986 Westercon in [[wikipedia:San Diego, California|San Diego]], CA, was the first to be openly called a [[furry party]]. After the success of these parties, Mark and Rod began hosting similar events at conventions all over California.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1989, [[Mark Merlino]] and [[Rod O'Riley]] decided to expand on the furry party concept and host the first prototype [[furry convention]], [[ConFurence Zero]]. ConFurence continued to be the premier international gathering place of furry fans, until other independent furry-themed conventions were organized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===1990s===&lt;br /&gt;
By the start of the 90’s, the furry genre was finally starting to gain recognition as a unique segment of the arts with a specifically adult aged fandom that products could be marketed to.  But this idea was not readily understood or accepted.  And, as the fantasy boom of the 80’s began to subside, the promoters of the new furry market were driven underground, where they found companionship with another fledgling market, [[anime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the [[wikipedia:United States|U.S.]] east coast, furry fans were gathering at the [[wikipedia:New York|New York]] chapter of the [[C/FO]], founded by [[Ken Sample]] and friends. [[Ray Rooney]] and [[Major Matt Mason]] hosted parties in their suite at [[wikipedia:Philcon|Philcon]] in [[wikipedia:Philadelphia|Philadelphia]] for several years. Philcon eventually hosted the first major Furry [[art show]] and [[dealer's room]]. In 1994, [[Trish Ny]] organized [[Furtasticon]], a prototype east coast furry convention at the [[wikipedia:Holiday Inn|Holiday Inn]], next to the [[Adam's Mark]] hotel, Philcon's venue. Trish went on to found [[ConFurence East]] in 1995.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1996, at the [[Worldcon|World Science Fiction Convention]] in [[wikipedia:Anaheim, California|Anaheim, California]], the [[Furry Fandom Lounge]] was organized by the [[ConFurence]] committee as five-day furry programming track. The general Worldcon program schedule publicized the furry parties, panels, and exhibits which even included a glass-encased &amp;quot;History of Furry Fandom&amp;quot; display by [[David Bliss]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1997, [[Anthrocon]] is first held in [[wikipedia:Albany, New York|Albany, New York]] and goes on to become the largest [[furry convention]] to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1999, at the [[NASFiC|North American Science Fiction Convention]] in [[wikipedia:Anaheim, California|Anaheim, California]], the [[Furry Fandom Lounge]] reflected on 15 years of fandom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2000s===&lt;br /&gt;
Today, those furry fans who have discovered the large concentration of fellow fans on the net have joined with them to create the virtual society that is the collective furry community.  Other furry fans, particularly the computer illiterate, remain isolated in their interest with little to no awareness that there is an organized community for fans of the furry genre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The furry genre was firmly established by the start of the 20th century.  Since then it has enjoyed many ups and downs in terms of popularity and acceptability among adults.  Particularly in the early 20th century, fantasy animal characters were an object of fascination to children and adults alike, appearing in almost every conceivable type of entertainment and establishing themselves as a major marketing tool, not only of consumer products, but of political ideas.  This was best demonstrated In 1945 by George Orwell’s [[Animal Farm]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the later half of the 20th century, general attitudes towards animal related fantasy changed.  Cartoons and literature focused most of their animal related efforts on the children’s entertainment market, inspiring many to believe that cartoons and animal stories were strictly for kids.  Though this does not seem to have prevented adults from continuing to enjoy the antics of funny animals in the comic strips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, the mainstream entertainment industry has continued to create many works within the furry genre which are mostly directed at children, while the furry community has steadily grown on the internet providing entertainment for adult aged audiences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2003, Dr. Samuel Conway (also known as [[Uncle Kage]] of [[Anthrocon]]) was a [[guest of honor]] at the [[I-CON]] science fiction and fantasy convention in [[wikipedia:Stony Brook, New York|Stony Brook, New York]]. His renowned story hour has since become a fixture of the convention through recent years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, at the [[NASFiC|North American Science Fiction Convention]] in [[wikipedia:SeaTac, Washington|SeaTac, Washington]], the [[Stalking Cat]] was one of the notable program participants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2006 [[Westercon]] in [[wikipedia:San Diego, California|San Diego]], a 20th anniversary furry party was held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2006 [[Worldcon|World Science Fiction Convention]] in [[wikipedia:Anaheim, California|Anaheim, California]], the [[Furry Fandom Lounge]] returned under the organization of [[Rod O'Riley]] of the [[Califur]] group. The programming track included a furry artist reception and panels ranging from [[fursuit]]ing basics to the new world of furry [[webcomic]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Internet==&lt;br /&gt;
By 1992, furry fans could participate in on-line social role-playing environments for free, if they had access to the Internet. [[MUCK]]s, Mushes and [[MOO]]s were created by furry fans for furry fans and hosted at educational and commercial sites. With the dawn of the World Wide Web, furry fans found their Mecca, with personal web sites, art and writing archives and forums providing a way for furry fans to communicate and share their interests internationally.  [[Yerf]] and [[YiffCo]] and [[VCL]] and other art archives soon dominated the art scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 1990's, [[David J. Rust]] (aka [[Sylvan]]), attempted to document the internal social dynamics and trends within Furry fandom.  While originally intended to be a [[fan film]] documentary, the research he conducted from 1996 - 1997 was eventually collated into [[The Sociology of Furry Fandom, a Subculture Study]], the first academic study of [[furry sociology]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===unknown day of event===&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cleanup}}&lt;br /&gt;
(comic strip formation)&lt;br /&gt;
Once the comic strip had been introduced, anthropomorphic characters quickly became almost synonymous with that art form.  Comic strips would become known as The Funnies, and animals in comic strips would become known as Funny Animals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(joining of anime and anthropomorphics artists)&lt;br /&gt;
Since anime and anthropomorphics artists were both involved in the unlikely concept of marketing cartoons to adults, they often joined forces in the creation of companies like [[Antarctic Press]] and [[Radio Comix]], which were some of the principle promoters of a new adult market for cartoons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(comic industry crash)&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, such companies had only been moderately successful in this endeavor at the point where the entire comic industry crashed.  At this point anime and furry went separate ways.  Anime used television as a means of promoting itself, while furry fans turned to the internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Small press publishers==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Split}}&lt;br /&gt;
Comics were the driving force in the early days, largely thanks to the wellspring of anthro-based comics that erupted on the American scene with the success of [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] in the mid-'80s.  Literally dozens of titles came and went, many of which simply attempted to copy the TMNT formula in order to make a fast buck. These ranged from the execrable (ala [[Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters]], [[Geriatric Ju-Jitsu Gerbils]]) to genuinely readworthy (as with [[Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung-Fu Kangaroos]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of more interest were the burgeoning ranks of anthro comics which didn't seek to follow in TMNT's tracks.  Some even pre-dated TMNT, as with StarReach's [[Duck!]], which not only parodied the short-lived &amp;quot;Duck Craze&amp;quot; of the late '70s (remember &amp;quot;Disco Duck&amp;quot;? Right.), but also showcased then-new talents like Dave Sim ([[The Beavers]]) and Michael T. Gilbert ([[The Wraith]]).  Independents and a wide divergence of topics abounded: Steve Gallacci ([[Albedo]]) wrote of animals warring amid the stars under the strict laws of Einsteinian physics, while Vicky Wyman (Xanadu) produced exquisitely-drawn fantasy romances starring unicorn empresses and gryphon wizards.  Meanwhile, Jim Groat's [[GraphXPress]] came out with parodies of Conan and Red Sonja in the form of [[Equine the Uncivilized]] and [[Red Shetland]]. Independent comic-book greats such as Donna Barr ([[Stinz]]) and Stan Sakai ([[Usagi Yojimbo]]) built their first readerships amongst the ranks of furries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the mainstream publishers tried to get in on the act, with much less success --- Marvel's [[Power Pachyderms]] isn't known to have any fans even amongst diehard furries.  DC's [[Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew]] took a more &amp;quot;Hanna Barbara&amp;quot; approach and won some support, but not enough to keep from going under as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fantagraphics then published the funny-animal anthology [[Critters]] for fifty issues, after which point it appeared that anthro comics were running out of steam.  The TMNT craze had created massive speculation in the comics market, which inevitably resulted in an equally massive backlash when investors attempted to sell their bootleg copies of poorly-drawn books and found that no one wanted to buy them. Whole publishing companies went under almost overnight, taking a number of exceptional anthro comics with them (such as [[Nervous Rex]], a splendid book of surrealist comedy which happened to be published by Blackthorne, which itself became almost universally recognized --- after the fact --- as a fly-by-night ripoff operation).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1991, only a few anthro comics continued to maintain any kind of pretense at a publication schedule.  Enter Ben Dunn's [[Antarctic Press]].  Mr. Dunn had previously created his own anthro title ([[Of Mice and Men]]) and had built a small independent publishing company on the strength of imported [[manga]] titles and a flagship manga-industry comic called [[Mangaphile]].  [[Furrlough]] was the first genuinely non-manga comic produced by Antarctic, and was shortly swamped with submissions by creators who had teethed during the &amp;quot;TMNT Boom/Bust&amp;quot;.  Eventually, [[Genus]] was created to allow for the publication of NC17/X-rated material. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The success of Furrlough and, later, Genus, catapulted Antarctic Press into serious competition with long-standing industry independents.  Able to expand even further now, Ben Dunn created [[Warrior Nun Areala]], which was non-anthro but whose overnight success greatly overshadowed the anthro line. To free up resources necessary to further promote [[Warrior Nun Areala]] and its related merchandise, AP cut loose the entirety of its anthro line ([[Gold Digger]] not being counted, as AP did not consider it to be a &amp;quot;furry&amp;quot; title).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Radio Comix]] was quickly formed by then-AP-editor Elin Winkler and a number of pro-anthro stalwarts to keep Furrlough and Genus alive.  Small but steady sales combined with a lean and smart business plan have allowed Radio to slowly prosper to the point where it has been able to expand to carry other lines as well as publish the occasional one-shot or miniseries.  Other existing anthro comic publishers include [[MU Press]], [[GraphXPress]], [[Shanda Fantasy Arts]], [[Backbreaker Studios]] and [[Dream Weaver Press]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of &amp;quot;fannish cred&amp;quot;, being published as a comic artist was second only to being a animator at Disney. The top comic artists in furry were the real stars of Furrydom since they were the direct producers of what was readily available. More recently, due to online archives and forums catering to artists on the Internet, as well as sales of prints and art collection CDs, the fandom's focus has slowly moved away from sequential art and more into the realm of &amp;quot;classic&amp;quot;, or single-frame, works.  At the same time, the number of [[webcomic]]s produced by anthro artists has escalated into the hundreds, some of which are exceptionally good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This shift is readily explainable: producing a comic book is an expensive and time-consuming affair.  Even a small run of a few thousand issues of an average-sized book can cost thousands of dollars to print, and then it must be distributed and fight for shelf space in tightly-packed comic stores.  Once it gets there, it may simply be ignored amid the hundreds of brightly-colored titles of the competition.  Internet publication avoids all of these problems, offering the artist the likelihood of potential return with virtually no investment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another important point is that, as with Science Fiction, Fantasy and Comic Fandoms, fanzines became an important part of Furry Fandom. Amateur Press Associations (APAs) produced &amp;quot;APAzines&amp;quot; like [[Vootie]] and [[Rowrbrazzle]].  These provided a place for artists and writers of the Funny Animal genre to showcase their work and critique each other in the days before online archives and forums were quite so commonplace. APAs are generally exclusive groups, with limited memberships, and the zines produced were usually for members only, although some notable exceptions existed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, [[wikipedia:shared universe|shared universe]] and  collection magazines were published. Furry fans could subscribe to these magazines, or purchase them at convention dealer’s rooms.  The first furry collection magazine, [[FurVersion]], published by [[Karl Maurer]], was born at a furry party at [[Baycon]] in San Jose, Ca, in 1987. [[Yarf!]], published by [[Jeff Ferris]], became the longest running collection magazine, with over 40 issues.  Rowrbrazzle, the fandom's flagship and longest-running APAzine, is published on a quarterly basis with over 85 issues to its credit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Furnetics''' is a fictional website project that portrays a [[genetic engineering]] and therapy company that render transformation services to turn regular humans into [[furries]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Address''': http://home.telepath.com/~wanderer/imagine_furnetics/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Created in 1998 by [[Sean McElroy]] as a single humorous page, the influx of interest from members of the [[Furry Fandom]] who believe the site is real has prompted Sean to expand the site to look more professional and plausible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those who are duped by the hoax and send e-mails to Sean typically receive replies as if he were a representative of Furnetics with fictitious answers to their questions about the services.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;A '''folf'''  (also known as a '''pholph'''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.dragons/msg/3cc1d34e272fa165?dmode=source A alt.fan.dragons reference] to the use of the term ''Pholph''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) is a term for an [[anthropomorphic]] [[hybrid]] character with the genetic make up of a [[fox]] and a [[wolf]], although in real life, this crossbreeding is genetically impossible. A folf can show physical characteristics of both a fox and a wolf, depending on which trait is more dominant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other names for this hybrid, significantly less used, are a '''wox''' or a '''wolfox'''. Both are contractions of the words &amp;quot;wolf&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;fox&amp;quot;, but aren't commonly used due to perhaps the way those terms sound when spoken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All thought used by other &amp;quot;folf&amp;quot; furs in the past, &amp;quot;Pholph&amp;quot; is now adknowledged to commonly refer to [[Ryan Dewalt]]'s pholph [[fursona]], [[Tet Solfire]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Could this article have a better title? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 22:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Some of these already have their own items in [[:Category:Internet coverage]]. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 22:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Breaking up is hard to do ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so in regards to whether it ought to be broken up... I figured it'd be useful if someone looking for info on this subject would have it all on one page, so we didn't end up with a buttload of teeny articles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for the name, I just thought, &amp;quot;What would a user instinctively enter into the Search bar if they were looking for this?&amp;quot; Admittedly, &amp;quot;Furry references in webcomics&amp;quot; probably would have been better, and if we change the name and add a redirect, we'll have both off them covered. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 19:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think this stands as it is.. most of these comics arent at all related to the fandom, Id be glad to see [[PvP]] and [[Penny Arcade]] rolled into this article, not the other way around.. that would make our coverage in webcomics easier to track for fans.  Perhaps rename it &amp;quot;webcomic coverage&amp;quot; too, part of Internet coverage.  If all this would make the article too long then go ahead and split it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VGCats did a piece for Movie Comics with a very brief slight: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/movedcomics/021207.jpg  Also Sluggy Freelance had a short joke on the fandom: http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=031002 ~ Downspin&lt;br /&gt;
:How is that VGCats comic related to furry? o.o [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 19:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Panel 8, where Ramsoomair's character is called a 'damned furry', and he stomps off.. notice how the fight picks up after that. ~ Downspin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== More then just webcomics? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furry is referenced in more then just webcomics online, just like Bonus Stage is listed at the end. An example I could think of is [[w:c:yugioh:Yu-Gi-Oh:_The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series]], which references furries in episode 12. Mabye this article should be split into webcomics and other online media. Just a thought, though. --[[User:MiffTheFox|Miff Falden]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User Talk:MiffTheFox|tlk]]|[[furry:User:MiffTheFox|fur]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 02:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Intrenchedheader.PNG|right|thumb|600px|Comic Title]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Intrenched''' is a [[webcomic]] Drawn by Euro Weitersen.  The World that &amp;quot;Intrenched&amp;quot; is set in seemes to be inhabited by [[Anthropomorphic]] cats.  It is set in the Western front of [[wikipedia:World war one|WWI]] and takes place between the years of 1914 and 1919.  It follows the Exploits of the British 144th infantry division, later joined by serveral POW's.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Characters ==  &lt;br /&gt;
'''Jeremiah &amp;quot;Mac&amp;quot; MacDonnell''' - Jeremiah is an underage soldier that lied to get into the army at the age of 16 in 1915 when Britain was recruiting for Soldiers. He came from a middle class family that ran a convenience store in Bristol. He had a younger sister, Eliza, who died of polio when she was three and he had an older brother, George, who moved to America before the war broke out. Jeremiah is rather shy, but he has one of the best aims in the company, rivaled only by Flea. He also has a knack for coming out on the right end of bad situations and because of this he has been called “extremely lucky.” He never is discovered that he is under aged, but he survives the end of the war. He also lives to fight as a major in the beginning years of World War II but is killed in a blitz raid over England &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Friedrich Chaucer''' - Third son of a well-to-do English Baron, he joined the war against his father’s will. He is the second youngest in the company next to Mac and because of it him and Mac become close friends. His father is English, but his mother is German, His mother is the second wife of Baron Chaucer. He has a half brother and half sister, by the names of Edmund and Louisa. His father and mother were never home when he was younger but they were exceedingly protective, so he saw the army as a chance of freedom and adventure. He can speak German well enough so he is given the job of taking care of the POW’s. He becomes friends with Wolfgang Schreiber and he is hit the hardest when Schreiber is killed unmeaning fully. After the war he moves to Bentley and, not taking help form his family, opens his own restaurant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Andre Bordeaux''' - The only Frenchmen in the entire company. He was born in France, but his parents were always constantly on the move. When he was very young both of his parents dies of tuberculosis. He landed himself in a foster home of an English merchant, unable to speak the English language. He eventually taught himself and at the age of 17 set out into the world on his own. When he was 27 he met the American importee, Virginia Blummenthal. In 1914 when the war broke out he immediately joined up to serve his newfound homeland of England. He has the worst luck in the entire company and because of this Sergeant Maude won’t let him anywhere near him. To try and help himself he wears a lucky rabbit foot around his neck and carries a horseshoe in his pocket. After Sergeant Maude is believed dead, Andre takes over the company. After the War he does marry Virginia and the two move to America &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Flea''' - Flea is utterly and completely insane. No one knows his real name or anything about him and he doesn’t say much. One of the only words they can get out of him is ‘flea’ and that has since become his name. He has been in the trenches since the first shots were fired in the war along side Sergeant Maude. Everyone thinks that Sergeant Maude knows something about Flea that he refuses to tell, and many times they have tried to get him to talk but Maude never tells. Only when Maude is shot does he tell anything about Flea. Flea’s real name is Timothy Higgins, and he is a very good mechanic and had been lovingly christened “Axel” by the old regiment. That was before they were sent ‘over the top’. Flea and, then, Corporal Maude were the only soldiers to come back alive. Since then Flea has lost all sense of communication and barely sleeps at night. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Sergeant Percival Maude''' - Sergeant of the platoon that Mac is stationed with, he is the father figure for many soldiers. Nobody in his platoon knows his first name even his over officers don’t use it when they talk to him. Everyone just addresses him as Sergeant or even just Maude. Chaucer has tried to start the rumor that he has no first name. Maude joined the army long before the war broke out to get away from his abusive father, Percival Maude sr. He is a courageous leader and has never led his men into danger. He is shot by machine gun fire during a scouting mission and is taken for dead, but he miraculously manages to drag himself back to the lines for medical health and, unbeknownst to his company survives. After the war he finds his company to show that he is still alive. After the war he moves to America like Andre and Virginia and becomes a politician for the newly formed United Nations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''German POW Wolfgang Schreiber''' - He is captured on a crossroad after the company obliterated the rest of the weakly defended machine gun nest. He cannot be sent to main lines for questioning because of some bombing raids and the ever-constant rounds of machinegun fire that pin down the British infantry in the trenches across no-man’s land. He has a young wife by the name of Brigitta back home who is 19 years old. She and him eloped just a year before the war started and he had to go fight when they were expecting their first child. He and Chaucer become friends nearer the end of the war. The company learns that Wolfgang has a newborn son and wife waiting for him back home. He dies in 1918 trying to save Andre from a machine gunner attack, and never knowing his child, who went by the name of Reginald Schreiber. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''German POW Ludwig Maas''' - A loud and slick POW that is picked up along with Wolfgang Schreiber. He is often threatened by his British captors to hold his tongue when he is told. He has a knack for getting on all of his captors nerves, with his smooth tone and know-it-all personality. He wears an eye patch over his right eye due to being to close to rogue shrapnel from British bombardments. He joined the war out of curiosity and to beat his friends back home out on a bet that he was going to come back home alive. He takes personal pride in his sharp shooting skills. When Schreiber is killed he manages to escape back to the German lines. He, however, is faced with the choice to shoot Friedrich one day during a patrol, but he let’s him go. Because of this faulting he is labeled as a traitor and forced to go ‘over the top’ by himself, thus causing his death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Virginia Blumenthal''' - Virginia is Andre’s ‘after-the-war-is-over’ fiancée. She was originally an American citizen and married to a man by the name of Mike Belford, who left hr after marital issues arose. Shortly after she moved to England to get away from her old life. She meets Andre one night while working at a newspaper stand. As soon as the war breaks out she immediately sets herself to work helping the wounded soldiers that are deported back home. She is one day working in the hospital wing and finds a shredded soldier near the back of the wing barely clinging to life; she finds that Sergeant Maude survived. She, however, is unable to write to Andre about this discovery because the newly made sergeant’s company has moved further down the line to an unnamed position. After the War she and Andre marry and, after much persuasion, move back to America. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Joseph &amp;quot;Shorty&amp;quot; McLain''' - An American that was head of a small squadron of planes that got obliterated by the Legendary Red Baron. He manages to survive a crash-land on friendly ground after navigating his near-crippled aircraft homeward. As he is recovering in one of the hospital he makes friends with Sergeant Maude who is going back to the lines after a hand injury that had to be treated for bullet fire and infection. Maude takes him back to the lines with him, and Shorty immediately becomes popular with the men, partly because he is a ‘bloody Yank’. He is a strong fighter and the combined smarts of his and Sergeant Maude get the men out of many situations that arise from the panicked enemy. He is married to Laurel McLain who is, as he says, a certified genius back in America. His newborn son’s name is Steven McLain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Major Leroy Brown''' - Major for the company, he only appears once when Maude is back a headquarters to receive his promotion and his medals after being wounded several times. Though he is mentioned a lot and is often credited of giving the orders around the company. &lt;br /&gt;

The Egyptian mythos is notable amongst furries for their gods being represented in artwork as [[anthropomorphic]] animals. While animal worship in religion was certainly not a new concept by the time of Ancient Egyptian culture, and may have had a leading factor in the creation of these new anthropomorphic animal gods, some [[furry spirituality|furry spiritualists]] consider this to be one of the earliest forms of furry.&lt;br /&gt;

==Furry characteristics in Egyptian mythology==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Egyptian art offered early examples of [[Chimera (mythical beast)|chimera]]-creatures of varying sorts. A notable chimeric deity was the demon [[Wikipedia:Ammitt|Ammit]], a creature depicted with the head of a [[crocodile]], the front part of her body like a lion or [[leopard]], and her back part in the form of a [[Wikipedia:hippopotamus|hippopotamus]]. While not a worshiped goddess, she was one of the most feared deities in Egyptian culture, for she represented [[Wikipedia:divine retribution|divine retribution]] in the [[Wikipedia:afterlife|afterlife]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another popular creature was the are griffin (or [[gryphon]]). In Ancient Egypt, the griffin was depicted with a slender, feline body and the head of a falcon. Early statues depict them with wings that are horizontal and parallel along the back of the body. During the [[Wikipedia:New Kingdom|New Kingdom]], griffins were included in depictions of hunting scenes. Divine figures depicted as griffins in Egyptian mythology included Sefer, Sefert, and Axex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet another furry chimera from Ancient Egypt is the [[Wikipedia:Sphinx|sphinx]], an image of a recumbent lion with the head of a ram, of a falcon or of a person, invented by the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Neopets''' is an online virtual pet simulation game. The site was opened to the public November 15, 1999 by Adam Powell and Donna Williams, but the company was bought by Doug Dohring soon after being created. Currently it is owned by Viacom and valued at USD 160 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Address''': http://www.neopets.com &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of January 2006, there are 53 Neopet species available. Most species resemble real animals — for example, the Nimmo is a stylized [[frog]], both the Zafara and the Blumaroo are [[kangaroo]]-like, the Kougra is [[tiger]]-like, and the Pteri is a [[bird]]. There are also Neopets versions of popular fantasy creatures, such as [[dragon]]s (Draiks, Scorchios) and [[unicorn]]s (Unis).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Users can customize their pets by selecting gender, colour (these colours can be changed later with expensive paint brushes, ranging from shadow and ghost to disco and white), personality, and name (provided another user hasn't already chosen the name). Players must take care of and feed their pets (although Neopets will never die or starve to death). They can also read books and battle in a style akin to popular games such as [[Pokémon]]. Neglecting a Neopet will result in its unhappiness, which may have consequences such as turning blue if it's sad, or red if it's angry. Neopets is constantly introducing new content such as games, items, and storylines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with all Internet communities, there is possible danger in giving personal information to strangers. Therefore, players who register as under 13 must submit a document by fax or letter with a parent's signature to the website's address in order to access any of the site's communication features, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. As on many other sites, some users under the age of 13 are angered by this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets now produces a range of merchandise, including plushies, stickers, clothing, two video games ''[[Wikipedia:Neopets: The Darkest Faerie| Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Neopets: Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing|Neopets: Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing]]'' and [[Wikipedia:Neopets Trading Card Game|a trading card game]]. The site has sparked many controversies such as those surrounding the existence of gambling-themed games, the extensive use of immersive advertising, and the [[Scientology]] beliefs of the CEO, [[Wikipedia:Doug Dohring|Doug Dohring]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Company information==&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2004, Nielsen/Net Ratings reported that people were spending around three hours a month on Neopets, more than any other site in its Nielsen category.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/173035_interactivetoys.html] The next generation of toys play with interactivity - Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 2004-05-13 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By May 2005, a Neopets-affiliated video game producer cited about 35 million unique users, 11 million unique IP addresses per month, and 4 [[1000000000 (number)|billion]] web page views per month. This producer also described 20% of the users as 18 or older, with the median of the remaining 80% at about 14. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/neopets/media.html Gamespot interview], see &amp;quot;Neopets: The Darkest Faerie Developer Interview 1&amp;quot; video&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. More recently, in [[1 August]] [[2006]] Neopets reported over 123 [[1000000 (number)|million]] accounts, and over 184 million pets (each account can have a maximum of 4 pets and some users have several accounts).  Updated statistics may be found on the Neopets &amp;quot;Pet Central&amp;quot; Page&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.neopets.com/petcentral.phtml Neopets &amp;quot;Pet Central&amp;quot; Page]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. However, there is some doubt over the veracity of these statistics (see &amp;quot;[[#Controversy|Controversy]]&amp;quot; below). TIffany Nguyen is currently known as the richest person on Neopets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the company is based in the [[United States]], its founders are [[United Kingdom|British]] and the site retains [[British English]] spellings (though there are some exceptions). In addition to [[English language|English]], as of July 2006 the site is available translated (with varying degrees of completeness) into ten other languages: [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[German language|German]], [[French language|French]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Simplified Chinese character|Chinese-simplified]], [[Traditional Chinese character|Chinese-traditional]], [[Japanese language|Japanese]] and [[Korean language|Korean]]. Neopets Inc. also operates an Asian branch, which is partially owned by [[Wikipedia: Green Dot Capital|Green Dot Capital]], a subsidiary of the investment vehicle of the Government of [[Singapore]], [[Wikipedia:Temasek Holdings|Temasek Holdings]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 20, 2005, [[Wikipedia:Viacom|Viacom]] stated that it had bought Neopets in a deal that has been valued at approximately $160 million &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1147093.cms Viacom agrees to buy Neopets], Reuters&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. According to Viacom, Dohring, the current CEO of Neopets, along with other Neopets senior managers, will continue to hold their positions after the acquisition has been completed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Environment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The game takes place on (or in orbit around) the planet of Neopia. The main setting is Neopia Central, where the main stores are found. There are also various &amp;quot;themed&amp;quot; worlds: ''Tyrannia'' (prehistoric), ''Faerieland'' ([[faeries), ''Mystery Island'' (Tropical), ''Haunted Woods'' (Halloween/spooky), ''Krawk Island'' (pirates), ''Lost Desert'' (Ancient Egypt), ''New Maraqua'' (Underwater), ''Terror Mountain'' (Winter/Christmas), ''Virtupets Space Station'' (Space Station), ''Kreludor'' (Moon), ''Meridell'' (Medieval), ''Brightvale'' (Renaissance), ''Altador'' (Classical), Shenkuu (Oriental) and Lutari Island (Tribal)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are also mini worlds and sub-worlds, such as ''Roo Island'', ''Neovia'', ''Kiko Lake'', and ''The Lost City of Geraptiku''. Each of these worlds (which are really more like &amp;quot;regions&amp;quot;) has unique shops, games, and other activities based on its theme. Each world may contain several different regions; for example, the world ''Terror Mountain'' has three parts: Happy Valley, Ice Caves, and Terror Mountain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These worlds are usually introduced through in-game plots that involve their &amp;quot;discovery&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;destruction&amp;quot;. For example, Maraqua  was originally destroyed by Captain Dread and his pirates in one storyline, but has been rebuilt, reopened, and saved from the pirate Lupe Captain Scarblade as a result of the &amp;quot;Curse of Maraqua&amp;quot; storyline. In the Lost Desert Plot, the city of Qasala was discovered in the Lost Desert and the city of Sakhmet was made accessible. Altador was discovered during an Altador plot, Neovia was discovered during the Tale of Woe plot and Shenkuu was discovered during its own mini-plot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lutari Island (Tribal), is only accessible after signing up to Neopets Cellular, which is a pay service for accessing Neopets on a Cell/Mobile Phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of July 2006, ''Jelly World'' ([http://www.neopets.com/jelly]) is the only world in Neopia that is inaccessible via the main world map. The existence of Jelly World is consistently denied by the Neopets staff (as a joke), despite all of the references to it such as a Jelly World neoboard[http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/boardlist.phtml?board=18] which can't be accessed regularly and Jelly World related games (''Jelly Blobs of Doom'' and ''Bouncy Supreme'') which can be accessed from certain game related links. However, on the Neopets toolbar the ''Free Jelly'' icon links directly to Jelly World.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 24 2006, the map was updated so that players could access the previously unseen side of the planet Neopia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Gameplay==&lt;br /&gt;
There are many activities Neopets players can do to advance towards their goals. They can train their pets to become fighters, and participate in the wars that occur (usually when new worlds are &amp;quot;discovered&amp;quot;), or fight against the regular battledome NPCs and other players' pets. Players can become merchants or collectors of rare and expensive items. Players can submit their artwork or writing, and can be rewarded for their creativity and skill with a trophy placed on their user lookup and neopoints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until November 25,2006 ,when the games room got a revamp, most of the games on the site were divided into three categories: Puzzle, Action, and Luck/Chance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puzzle games are those that require thought and often language or mathematical skills. For example, in &amp;quot;Spell-or-Starve&amp;quot;, a player must spell as many words as possible in a limited time by clicking the letters on the screen. Action games are arcade-like games. In &amp;quot;Hannah and the Ice Caves&amp;quot;, a player guides the characters Hannah and her sidekick Armin through increasingly difficult icy caves, while collecting treasure and avoiding snow beasts. The Luck/Chance category includes various [[slot machine]] games such as &amp;quot;Brucey B. Slots&amp;quot;, and other gambling-themed games. Card games and a game based on hide-and-seek are also part of Luck/Chance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Flash or Shockwave games===&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, it was announced in the News that a section of the site was going to be revamped. On November 24, it was revealed that the section to be revamped was the Games section. On November 25, the Games section's new avatar announced that he had a challenge on offer to all neopians, which involves playing a set list of Flash games (submitting a score of at least 50 for each one), finding hidden games to send scores in, sending challenge cards and, of course, the mystery challenges.&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the games on the site are [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Flash|Flash]] or [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Shockwave|Shockwave]] games, which require the user to have certain software installed on the computer. Many are similar to older existing games&amp;amp;mdash;for example, &amp;quot;Meerca Chase 1 and 2&amp;quot; are very similar to ''[[Wikipedia:Snake (video game)|Snake]]'', while &amp;quot;Korbat's Lab&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Frumball&amp;quot; are like ''[[Wikipedia:Breakout|Breakout]] and [[Wikipedia:Arkanoid|Arkanoid]]''. Also, Flycatcher is based on the game ''[[Wikipedia:Millipede (game)|Millipede]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
A player may submit achieved game scores for each Flash game up to three times a day. The exception to this is during Neopets birthday week 15 November-22), when a player is allowed to submit up to five game scores a day. There is also a new game - acara-advision - which requires you to view a short advertisement, then spin a wheel for Neopoints up to 5 times a day. However, many users do not consider this to be a game. Up to a maximum of 1,000 Neopoints can be earned per each score sent, thus allowing users to score 3000 Neopoints if they are good and dedicated at it. Users may earn trophies if they score high, or message board avatars from a select variety of games. They can also participate in World Challenges for the chance to win more rewards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a different game featured every day. When a player achieves a score with the Featured Game, the amount of Neopoints usually given for that score is doubled. The usual maximum winnings is also doubled, allowing players to win up to 2,000 Neopoints each time they play.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&amp;amp;issue=211 Neopian Times, issue 211]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A Lucky Space Faerie Charm, one of the rewards for referring people to Neopets Premium, can also randomly double a player's Neopoint winnings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sponsor Games===&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets is sponsored by a number of organizations, businesses and companies, and therefore there are a number of sponsor games. Sponsor games come and go from the site, and are often wiped from the site completely long before actual Neopet's games are. They have no high score tables, but are often easy relative to Neopet's games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Other games===&lt;br /&gt;
There are also numerous [[PHP]] web-based games (which are more accessible to players with slower computers), such as &amp;quot;[http://www.neopets.com/games/neoquest/neoquest.phtml NeoQuest]&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Plushie Tycoon&amp;quot;, and card games like &amp;quot;Pyramids&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Scarab 21&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Neopets Blackjack&amp;quot;. NeoQuest and NeoQuest II (2) are classic [[role playing game]]s in which users play a certain character and travel around a world, fighting monsters and performing quests. Plushie Tycoon is a business-running simulation, in which the player must manufacture and sell Neopets plushies. There is also a daily crossword (&amp;quot;Faerie Crossword&amp;quot;), a dice game (&amp;quot;Dice-a-roo&amp;quot;, which is no longer playable by users under 13 years old to avoid any gambling accusations), and a Neopets version of [[Wikipedia:Minesweeper (computer game)|Minesweeper]] (&amp;quot;[http://www.neopets.com/games/neggsweeper/index.phtml Neggsweeper]&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any user may issue a &amp;quot;game challenge&amp;quot; to another user for a two-player game, such as &amp;quot;Kacheekers&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Armada&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Geos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trophy Reset===&lt;br /&gt;
At around midnight Neopets Standard Time (GMT-8) on the first day of each month, many of the game leaderboards are wiped. This means that many users can earn trophies with relatively low scores, compared with the middle or end of the month. Many users make a habit out of earning many trophies this way. However, the fact that they are wiped around midnight means that countries like the USA and Canada are at an extreme disadvantage. Many of them are asleep, yet some may stay up. Users in Eastern Asia and Australia are best set for trophy reset, on the other hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Advent Calendar===&lt;br /&gt;
The Advent Calendar is only active during the ''Month of Celebrating'' (December). On each day of the month, a user can visit the Advent Calendar in ''Happy Valley'' and watch a colourful animation and collect a prize, which is usually an item, neopoints and/or an avatar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Plots===&lt;br /&gt;
Major Neopets plots are usually presented in a comic book-styled form, and sometimes lead to a &amp;quot;war&amp;quot;. Once the plot reaches a certain point, players may be given the option to choose a side to support. Those who choose to fight are given a series of opponents in the Battledome, and they may fight to gain points for their side.  Players receive prizes for their participation at the end of every plot.  Depending on how well they did, their prize can be common and cheap or rare and expensive. The Neopoints that come with selling prizes drive many players to complete the plots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Neopian plots are used to release new worlds or features on the site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One Neopian arch-villain, Dr. Sloth, was prominently featured in several site-wide plots. His greatest achievements were his enslavement of the Grundos, an alien-like species, and his creation of Transmogrification Potions, which change a Neopet into the mutant &amp;quot;colour&amp;quot; of a certain species. This is supposed to be evil, but the transmogrification potions are highly sought after because of their relative inexpensiveness compared to other morphing potions, especially when the specified species of the potion is 'limited edition' or 'restricted' (such as the Draik, Krawk, Hissi, and Cybunny).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Collections===&lt;br /&gt;
Players can choose to collect certain items — often rare and expensive — and display them in a &amp;quot;gallery&amp;quot;. They may also collect collectible cards, trading cards (not to be confused with the actual Neopets trading cards), stamps, coins, and sea shells, and display them in albums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Neohomes&amp;quot; can be built after a user buys a plot of land. Each room costs Neopoints to build, and furniture may be put in and arranged. Extensions such as lighting, flooring, and insurance can also be purchased. Players may try to win awards for their Neohomes or collections. The address of a neohome, once built, can only be changed after demolishing all rooms and/or gardens, losing all neopoints spent on them, and selling the address back to the bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Quests===&lt;br /&gt;
There are many types of quests, in which the user must retrieve certain items for a [[non-playable character]] in exchange for a reward. Most Faerie Quests are given out through random events while browsing the site, while the user may volunteer for other quests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Random Faerie Quests are given by one of many faeries: the  faeries are Fire, Light, Earth, Air, Dark, and Water, the Unique Faeries (Fountain and Space), and the Faerie Queen. While browsing the site, the user may encounter a faerie though a random event and be asked for an item associated with her (like clothes, trading cards, etc.). To make such quests more challenging, users cannot use the Shop Wizard to quickly search through user-owned shops while they are still on the quests. Users must find the items through auctions, the trading post, or ask others for help (e.g. on the Help NeoBoard). Most of the faeries will select one of the user's four pets randomly and raise one of its statistics. The Fire Faerie increases a pet's strength by two, the Light Faerie increases level by one, the Earth Faerie feeds and heals the pet, the Air Faerie raises speed by two, the Dark Faerie increases hit points by two, the Water Faerie increases defence by two, and the Space Faerie increases level by four.  The powerful Faerie Queen provides a total of seven stats, raising level by one, hitpoints by three, and strength by three.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Receiving and completing a Fountain Faerie quest is usually very difficult. The quest is a very rare event, and the faerie usually asks for a highly expensive item. But, after the user completes her quest, the Fountain Faerie allows one of the pets to be painted to almost any colour (with the exception of Ice,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&amp;amp;issue=213 Neopian Times, issue 213]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; MSP, Royal, Sponge and Robot).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neopians can also go to Jhudora's Cloud or Illusen's Glade for quests with various prizes according to how many quests the user has previously completed. For these, the player is allowed to use the Shop Wizard, but must find the item within a time limit. The more quests the user completes, the better the rewards are, but the faeries also demand rarer and more expensive items. Failure to retrieve the item on time resets the quest and brings the player back to level one, with its cheaper prizes. After completing a quest for Jhudora or Illusen, users cannot do either of their quests for another 12 hours, and after 50 completed quests there are no more reward items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Esophagor, Edna the Witch, the Water Chef, the Brain Tree, and the Snow Faerie also give quests upon request. The Shop Wizard can be used to find items for these. Users often only do the quests when the required items are within a certain price range, to avoid spending more than their potential reward. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://neonewsnow.com/neopets_guides/quests.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Avatars===&lt;br /&gt;
On Neopets, avatars are small icons that can be used on Neopian [[Wikipedia:internet forum|message boards]] to represent a player. Unlike many forums, the players on Neopets cannot upload their own avatars and must use those provided by the website. Usually, one or more will be released every week. In addition to the default avatars, there are currently 338 secret avatars that can be unlocked,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://avatar.starried.net/checklist.php AvatarLog]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; usually by performing a task such as getting a high score at a game, visiting a particular page, happening upon some random event, owning a pet of a certain color, species, or age, or equipping their pets with a special weapon. Some avatars may require the completion of multiple tasks, or even be given out through random events, while others (such as those earned for past plots) are retired and no longer attainable. Some are seasonal, only obtainable on certain days of the year, like April Fool's Day. In a few cases, there are avatars which cannot be obtained if a collector has its &amp;quot;twin&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;sister&amp;quot; avatar. There is a high score list that ranks users according to the number of avatars they have collected, and help sites exist for collectors to keep track of avatars and tasks still needed. Additionally there is also an avatar that is only available to the administrators of the site, known as Theneopetsteam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sidebars===&lt;br /&gt;
A sidebar is the navigational tool to the left and top sides of the screen that is used while browsing the Neopets website. The default sidebar is star-decorated and yellow, which is seen when a user creates a new account or when using the site not logged in. However, there are also secret sidebars to unlock and collect, similar to avatars. But unlike avatars, there are far fewer in comparison, although as of late, many more have been released. Since it is a rather short list, the sidebars will be listed here along with the method of obtaining them:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Altadorian Constellations'''  - Complete the Altador mini-plot, then collect the prizes from King Altador in the Council chamber. The plot is staying open until further notice to allow others to finish it.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Altador Cup''' (retired) - Send in at least one score, whether a win, tie, or loss, during the Altador Cup. It did not matter whether or not the user's selected team lost, or if they did not select a new team when their team lost.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Birthday''' - This sidebar is special in the sense that it cannot be kept. It is the automatic default sidebar on November 15th (Neopets' birthday) every year, and also on the day that the user sets as their birthdate while creating their account. Once these days pass, the sidebar is gone.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Curse of Maraqua''' (retired) - Spend one prize point on the sidebar from the selection of prizes available once the Curse of Maraqua plot ends. Although it is retired, this sidebar is still available for collecting by users who have earned at least one point in the plot but did not collect prizes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Cyodrake's Gaze''' (retired) - For a very limited time, users were given the chance to answer some questions regarding the disappearance of a character named Hoban during the Cyodrake's Gaze mini-plot. A short time later, only people who guessed at least one question correctly, aside from a freebie question, received this sidebar and an avatar.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Haunted Woods''' - Go to or refresh at any page on the Neopets website during the minute of 11:59:00 PM Neopian Standard Time on October 31. It was previously awarded as a prize for winning Random Contest #1.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Premium''' - Once a Premium member, refer five people to the Premium service. These five people must stay past the 15-day trial in order for you to qualify for the sidebar. If you cancel your Premium service, the sidebar remains, but once you change it at Site Preferences, the Premium sidebar is removed from your collection.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Qasalan''' (retired) - Although retired, this sidebar is still available for collection if a user has completed at least one plot step during the Lost Desert plot but did not collect their prizes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Valentine's Day''' - On February 14th, one must send the item named 'A Mysterious Valentines Card' to any user. Both the sender and recipient of the item get the sidebar. However, the Card disappears once it is sent, but only on this day.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Winter''' - Previously awarded as a random event while visiting Terror Mountain. It is currently currently given out to people meeting unknown requirements on December 31st, on the Advent Calendar (according to Neopian Times editorial 228).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Writing and art contests===&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets also offers several different writing and art contests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Wikipedia:Neopian Times|Neopian Times]] is a weekly electronic newspaper that includes short stories, a question-and-answer editorial, comics (traditional and animated), story series, and articles. If a user's contribution is published, they receive a trophy, as well as special rewards for certain Neopian Times issues (such as milestone, Halloween, and Christmas issues).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a poetry contest that runs approximately twice a week, and a story-telling contest in which users write and submit the next part of a short story. A &amp;quot;Random Contest&amp;quot; requires a different task, chosen by Neopets staff, to be completed each contest, such as drawing, making up &amp;quot;Dr. Sloth's answering machine message&amp;quot;, and creating recipes, and so on.  The Caption Contest requires users try to write humorous captions for a picture. Players can submit drawings of their pets for the Beauty Contest (which is a popularity contest rather than an art contest), a picture and short story of their pets or petpets for the Spotlights, galleries of items, custom-built levels of certain games, or their Neopets-based web pages (theoretically for their pets) or ''petpages''. When users win one of these contests, they usually receive a trophy a Neopoint reward and sometimes an avatar too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shops===&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the regular shops, players open their own shops to sell items, sometimes after obtaining those items at a lower price from sources, such as other shops. (One may also exchange items at the trading post or use the auction house.) Shops run by [[non-player character]]s allow haggling. Buying items at the Neopian shops in order to resell them is called ''restocking'' (since it involves waiting until the shop restocks), and can be very profitable for a player with luck and a fast internet connection. However, player-run shops can only sell items up to 99,999 Neopoints; extremely expensive items must be traded using either the Trading Post or the Auction House.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players may form &amp;quot;malls&amp;quot; of usually eight or more players, each linking to each other's shops by banners, stocking large numbers of items within a category that they are assigned. However, users may end up overpricing their items in the malls in order to compensate for the costs of upgrading to a marketplace shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Community==&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets has a community in which users can chat with and contact each other by private &amp;quot;Neomail&amp;quot; (on-site e-mail) or on public &amp;quot;Neoboards&amp;quot;, which are more like chat rooms than internet forums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with all Internet communities, there is risk in giving out personal information to strangers. Players under 13 years of age who wish to access any of the site's communication features must fax or mail a document stating parental consent, with the parent's signature, to the Neopets headquarters, to comply with [[Wikipedia:Children's Online Privacy Protection Act|COPPA]]. The system is, however, easily evaded by entering a fake age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Guilds===&lt;br /&gt;
Users with similar interests can create or join certain ''guilds'' which usually revolve around a theme, such as battling in the Battledome, or non-Neopets themes such as those for the fans of real-world celebrities or animal-lovers. Some guilds are dedicated to certain causes or goals, such as helping poorer Neopians and/or new players, adopting the abandoned Neopets in the pound, collecting avatars, role-playing, and so on. There are message boards inside the guilds, accessible only to their members. Guilds may also offer certain benefits to members, such as guild shops, &amp;quot;newbie packs&amp;quot; (usually containing inexpensive items as welcome presents to members, which could be classified as a form of scamming by Neopets rules), activities, and tips. Battledome guilds (especially lupe packs) often have &amp;quot;wars&amp;quot; with one another. Members battle members of the other guild and a score is kept. Some guilds are private, which makes the guild not show up in any guild searches, and a player would need an invitation from someone in the guild to join. Different guilds have different requirements for advancing in rank within the guild, sometimes with a corresponding increase in benefits and power. The leader of the guild can choose 4 members in their guild to be part of a &amp;quot;Council&amp;quot;, and give them administrative powers such as the ability to change the layout of the guild, create a poll, or delete messages on the message boards (although regular members can also be given administrative powers). These council positions are often sought after by ambitious guild members. Many large guilds also have a sub-council, which is usually like the council in a way except sub-council members usually have less administrative powers and duties than the regular council.  Some guilds also have corresponding external websites or petpages to share information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===NeoMail===&lt;br /&gt;
NeoMail is a personal in-game communication system, much like regular email. Players can write messages to other players or make &amp;quot;neofriends&amp;quot;, to whom they can send items from their inventory or make private auctions for.&lt;br /&gt;
For many reasons, NeoMail messages are monitored, and players cannot write to another player who is under the age of 13. However, if the person under 13 has parental permission to play on the site, you are able to send them a neomail. Users may also block people who they do not want to come in contact with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets also has a &amp;quot;limit&amp;quot; on the number of NeoMails that can be sent in a day, or more so, in a certain span of time. This is to prevent the slowing down of a server and spamming.&lt;br /&gt;
It also allows you to talk with your friends, but only if they have an account on neopets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a maximum amount of neomails that you are allowed in your inbox. THis maximum amount is one hundred, and solely used to prevent the slowing down of site as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Merchandise==&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets now produces a range of merchandise, including [[plushies]], stickers, cereals, and hand-held video games. The merchandise retails at many mainstream outlets such as Wal-Mart]], Target, and Limited Too. There are also exclusively online retailers involved, such as 99dogs.com, which was the first outlet for Neopets merchandise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2003, [[Wizards of the Coast]] released the ''[[Neopets Trading Card Game]]'', a collectible card game, based on the online characters and setting. It is distributed by card shops, as well as Wal-Mart and Target. To date, there have been six individual &amp;quot;sets&amp;quot; of cards (a base set and five expansions) released, with the sixth set recently released. Most of the card releases are associated with &amp;quot;plots,&amp;quot; or stories, on the site. This is another controversial marketing move, which has at once managed to endear and estrange players from the site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2005 it was confirmed that the Neopets team had also begun work on a Neopets film (which the creators of the site had kept secret from their own staff until it was confirmed). When informing the users of this, they also implied that there may be more than one Neopets film in the future (although, of course, this will depend entirely on the success of their first film). On the description of the Jelly World game &amp;quot;Jelly Blobs of Doom&amp;quot;, a movie is to be released Winter 2008. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.neopets.com/games/jellyblobs.phtml Jelly Blobs of Doom game page]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2005 Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. released ''[[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]'', for the PlayStation 2. A second game, [[Neopets: Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing]], was released March 14, 2006 for the Sony PlayStation Portable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A very popular form of merchandise for Neopets was their set of toys at McDonald's, which brought many people in to Neopets. There is soon to be another release of Neopet toys at McDonald's because of the success of the last promotion.{{fact}} These toys have been released in countries such as Australia, USA, and Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Neopets controversy}}&lt;br /&gt;
Neopets has been involved in many controversies. Off the website, issues have been raised from its immersive advertising methods, gambling-based games, and its connection to Scientology. Users have complained about various security holes or glitches and problems with user interaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Groups of people believing that Neopets treats users poorly and who are also against the immersive advertising have formed anti-Neopets websites expressing their views. These groups have bought domain names for their movement, talked about their movement on the Neopets forums, and have even reported Neopets for what they believe to be potential copyright violations. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.antineopian.org/ AntiNeopian]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, thousands of users have complained of their accounts being frozen for absolutely no reason at all.  There have actually been websites that have been made by angry users that were &amp;quot;unfairly&amp;quot; frozen.  Many believe that there is an automated &amp;quot;freezing&amp;quot; system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many users state that '-if you were frozen then you had to do something to deserve it.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Petpets==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Petpets''' are Neopets' pets. They are small and are found in shops all over Neopia. Some variations include Slorg, Feepit, Babaa, and the Meepit (which is commonly joked as hiding evil intention). Petpets can wake up (or be eaten by) the giant beast called Turmaculus. Petpets can also find a &amp;quot;Petpetpet&amp;quot;. These can either be attached to the petpet or sold for many neopoints.  Petpetpets are very rare, and finding one is a rare random event.  Some Petpets used to assist you in Battledome fights, but this option has been retired. However, Petpets now have their own battle arena, called the &amp;quot;Petpet Battle Arena&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Neopets, Petpets have levels which can be raised either by visiting the Turmaculus or fighting in the Petpet Battle Arena. Also, like Neopets, petpets can also be painted a variety of colors, albeit with their own petpet paintbrushes. Even though they're slightly cheaper than Neopet paint brushes, Petpet paintbrushes are rather expensive to purchase or trade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Neopet can also talk to their Petpet by typing in what they wish to say. The Petpet then responds with one of a number of pre-programmed text actions. The actions vary with the type of Petpet although if any of what you say to it includes a swear word, all of the petpet's lines will be the same: &amp;quot;Oi! Don't swear! This site is family-friendly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Petpets can be mixed in the cooking pot, as well as other things. An example could be the Wuzzer, which is a mix between a Warf and a Buzzer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Petpets are also featured in various games, like Petpet Herder and Hasee Bounce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Paddibunnysuicide.JPG|right|thumb|Paddi, taken in [[BWRPS]] in 2006]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Paddi''' was a co-host of the [[Furry Broadcasting Corporation]] show [[Bunny Suicide]], after the previous co-host [[Fatmandell]] and the host [[TC]]. He became a co-host half way through the first series of the show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paddi was born in 1986 in Essex, England, and grew up in Newcastle. As of October 2006 he is a student at Bangor University, Wales. He is the Wargames Co-Ordinator for the [[Bangor Wargaming and Role Playing Society]] and has been a member of BWRPS for 2 years. He plays Warhammer 40k, Shadowrun and Dungeons and Dragons as well as other games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paddi is famous for wearing his hat and leather coat as well as always wearing black. Paddi's hat within BWRPS has come to be known as &amp;quot;The Hat&amp;quot;, Paddi believes that 'the hat' drains the life out of any person who wears it, then transfers it back to him. Unless the hat is worn backwards and at a funny angle, in which case it drains the life from Paddi. Becuase of this, Evis often tries to get Paddi to wear the hat in this manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His avatar within the fur fandom is a [[Badger]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* His roleplay characters tend to get shot, drowned, set on fire by his own team, knocked out, amputated, and having buildings fall on them.&lt;br /&gt;
* Says &amp;quot;Ow my liver&amp;quot; in a funny way whenever seriously injured. Face, spleen, and other bodily parts can be substituted.&lt;br /&gt;
