The sexuality is hardly minor. -- 24.0.213.70
: Come on -- there's not a single nipple displayed :( -- Wesha.
: True. It's not "sexually explicit", as the genitals and breasts aren't really shown, but the sexuality in the comic is huge. There are entire chapters based on this, like "Tough Love". Sexual abuse, rape, affairs, strippers, even incest. But the term "it is not sexually explicit" might be misleading to some people, making them believe the comic doesn't even TALK about sex.

When Jay initially created Better Days, Lucy and Fisk were supposed to be the same characters as those in [[Badly Drawn Kitties]]. Jay later had a falling out with Mat Sherer, and if I remember correctly, he eventually declared the characters of his strip to be separate and unrelated to the identically-named characters from BDK. Maybe a Controvery section should be added to this entry (and/or BDK) to give more specifics. [[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 17:29, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:There's a [http://www.livejournal.com/users/fiskblack/33418.html relevant entry] in Jay's LiveJournal where some of the details of the split between Better Days and BDK are discussed. --{{UT|Sebkha}} 15:17, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

----
Of note, there's already a Wikipedia entry for Better Days. Does wikifur need to replicate that, or should it just redirect?

:Debatable. It's a furry topic, so it should probably be mentioned here, at least. I don't know how popular it is, but if it's not got a significant fanbase, it's possible it might be deleted over there, in which case the whole article could justifiably be moved over here. For now, we should certainly link to it. --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 22:53, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::''Better Days'' is currently ranked #4 by number of subscribers at the [[Belfry WebComics Index]]. That's out of over 1100 furry comics. I'd say that's a pretty significant fanbase. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 03:31, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Agreed! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 06:47, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== General timeline trivia? ==

You can tell I have too much time on my hands lately. Reason being that I had enough spare time to research the visual clues in the comic and extrapolated a timeline from that. The general explination is below.

* The characters are first seen as nine year old kittens at the start of the comic, this isn't hard to miss.
* A school teacher says it "isn't 1950 anymore". inconsequential to the majority of the timeline except to prove it doesn't take place before 1970.
* Vietnam is mentioned at least five times in relation to a pivotal character that is deceased yet still plays a big part in Fisk's life.
* The song "Into the Groove" is used in one arc and that same song has a release date of around 1985. Both Fisk and Lucy are roughly 13 or 14 in that arc and starting high school as freshmen at that time.
* "The Wall" is visibly seen and they have or are very close to graduating high school which places the two main characters at about 17 or 18 years old.

The above, when I think about it, means they were born sometime in or near 1972. The comic strip's visual history started in 1981 or 1982, and that when they graduate high school (Lucy goes to college and Fisk to the Army) it is either 1990 or 1991.

Think any of that could make a good trivia section for the article? ----[[User:Markus|Markus]]([[User talk:Markus|talk]]) 20:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

:Sure, I think that this would absolutely make a good addition to a trivia section. It might even be interesting to bounce this off of Jay and get his comments on it, if he's willing.----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 11:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

:Interesting idea about the impending war...Fisk's in the army now, after all. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]]
::I had a good bit of time on my hands to review the entire archive for this. I left a comment on the artist's LJ to confirm if any of what I added is accurate or if it needs changing. I am not optomistic however that I will get a responce since he is a busy man after all. Greenreaper himself said the timeline and trivia made sense. Assuming this timeline is accurate then as GR said on AIM last night: "For story purposes, there is no real point having the main character not be on the front line." It gives rise to many opprotunities for mishaps to occur, minor or major of all kinds as well as probably bringing up new love interests for both Fisk and Lucy. ----[[User:Markus|Markus]]([[User talk:Markus|talk]]) 01:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::Well, I commented on his LJ after FWA and he replied rather quickly...so you may get a response sooner than expected. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]]
:::I can hope, but I won't hold my breath. I know what it is like in a vague sense to be so busy. It would take time off your production schedual to answer every little comment posted or emailed to you. And given that I posted a comment on a two month old post.. It might take longer. I have my own comic to write for myself now. So I can write more for it as I wait. No harm done either way. ----[[User:Markus|Markus]]([[User talk:Markus|talk]]) 01:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

::::With the latest chapter (17), it appears that the year is 1989 (the Berlin Wall is falling), so the years need to be tweaked slightly. As it stands in the article, the twins graduate from high school in 1989 - it would seem they graduate a year or so earlier than that. [[User:24.99.238.8|24.99.238.8]] 01:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC) (SpazKitty unlogged in)
:::::We should let it play out a bit. I suspect it may actually be 1990. Fisk is suggesting remaining in the Army, and it may be Desert Shield that convinces him to stay. So let's let the chapter play out a bit before making any changes. --[[User:Kitch|Kitch]] 18:58, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

== Outside story arcs ==

At least one of the descriptions under Outside story arcs, that of Puss in Boots, is quoted directly from the catalogue. At the least, this should be attributed. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 01:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Should True Love be listed among the outside story arcs? Persia's appeared a couple of times in the comic, so she's part of the setting, at least. Or should we wait to see if the comic catches up with some of the bits of Persia's backstory mentioned in the folio? I'm thinking it should go ahead and go on the list, but I wanted to run it by folks here first.--[[User:MythicFox|MythicFox]] 20:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
:Well, looks like the backstory for Persia mentioned in True Love is about to become relevant in the storyline as of Chapter 23. I'll look at putting True Love back on the list of Outside Story Arcs when I've got time to write it up (unless someone else wants to do it, or if there's an archived copy somewhere that can just be replaced).--[[User:MythicFox|MythicFox]] 00:18, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Better Days

MythicFox: /* Outside story arcs */ Updated the folios list

{{rating-ma-button3}}
'''''Better Days''''' is a comedy/drama [[:Category:Comics|comic]] written by [[Jay Naylor]]. The strip began on April 18, 2003 and continues through the present. It is updated twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays.

''Better Days'' is about [[Fisk Black|Fisk]] and [[Lucy Black]], two fraternal twin siblings growing up in the U.S. state of [[Wikipedia:Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], and their mother, [[Sheila Black|Sheila]]. All of the Blacks are [[cat]]s. The comic is divided up into "chapters" (story arcs) of varying length, each one portraying a significant and sometimes difficult episode in the life of the Blacks. Fisk and Lucy are also seen in ''[[Badly Drawn Kitties]]'' by [[Mat Sherer]].

The comic is known for its conservative outlook, as well as for featuring controversial and sensitive issues such as incest, the Vietnam war, racial issues (Naylor loosely equates [[species]] with races in a manner similar to [[Wikipedia:Art Spiegelman|Art Spiegelman]]'s - European whites are [[feline]]s and [[canine]]s, Semitic people are represented as [[mice]], African-Americans as [[hyena]]s, etc.), rape, and sexual abuse. There is profanity and some violence, but the comic is not sexually explicit.

== Chapter Summaries ==

* Chapter 6: "Tough Love" - An 11-year-old female hyena named Nikki shows her interest in 10-year-old Fisk; the two end up having sex. The FBI discovers that the hyena's father is wanted for murder and rape, and it's implied that he sexually abuses his children, a reason why the girl insisted on sex with Fisk.
[[Image:Fisks.gif|right|frame|The Black twins, Lucy and Fisk, and their mother Sheila]]

* Chapter 15: "Reconciliation" - While in training, Fisk injures himself, and his nurse turns out to be Nikki, the same hyena from his childhood.

* Chapter 19: "Party Girls" - Robert proposes to Jessica, and the Bachelor/Bachelorette parties are planned. However, this leads to trouble over strippers being booked for both.

== Timeline/Trivia ==
The following is not to be considered serious or at all accurate. What follows is a collection of visual clues seen in the comic throughout its run so far and was assembled into a rough timeline.

* The main characters are first seen as nine year old kittens at the start of the comic. At the same time, the political button on Miss Bedbutter's shirt has the number 80 on it, further solidifying the time period of the arc being in 1980.
* The song "Into the Groove" is used in Chapter 9 and that same song was released in 1985 as the B-Side of the single "Angel" and was featured in the movie "Desperately Seeking Susan" that same year. Both Fisk and Lucy are 14 in that arc and starting high school as freshmen at that time.
* "The Wall" is visibly seen and they have or are very close to graduating high school which places the two main characters at about 17 or 18 years old.

When taken into consideration, the following trivia can be assumed:

* Fisk and Lucy were born in 1971.
* The comic starts in 1980.
* They enter high school in 1985.
* They graduate from high school in 1989 (somewhere between chapters 13 and 14). [[Wikipedia:Gulf War|Operation Desert Storm]] will begin two years from their graduation.

MythicFox:

== Name removal? ==
Someone recently blanked the RL name redirect to this page, and I'm beginning to wonder if having the RL name of Plush-she here is in any way appropriate. She's not of the caliber of [[Sibe]] or [[Mozdoc]], and despite having a kink that others may look down on, she hasn't hurt anyone. Having her RL name here is likely serving to make things difficult for her regarding work and friends, given that a Google search for her name has this article - with its images - show up in the first few results. I move for a removal of the RL name. [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 16:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

:I'd have to agree with Spaz Kitty on this one. I'm an old friend of Plush-she's, and some of her more public forays into the fandom have caused her endless amounts of trouble. Her appearance in the Sex2K video was without her consent or permission and she wasn't in a good position to fight it at the time, and it more or less ruined her non-fandom social life. I'd say leave her RL name off unless she says otherwise.--[[User:MythicFox|MythicFox]] 00:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd have to check, but I don't think "Lance Cannon" and "Rest Your Gun Here" are actually considered part of the Better Days setting. "Lance" might be part of the setting, but either way it doesn't actually tie in to the comic in any way. Same thing with "Mrs. Doris Henderson."--[[User:MythicFox|MythicFox]] 21:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

:. . . and [http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Joe-Ekaitis/encyc.gif this one] is highly appropriate for [[WikiFur]]! --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 07:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== Whod'a thunk it ==

Who'd have thought, that the last piece of the Adam's mark to remain standing, would be the elevators?
--[[Chris Sutor]] - 12:00AM, August 14 2006

== Adam's Mark Elevators ==

I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to add to the article (or maybe to the associated [[Staircon]] one, or both) that the elevator problems weren't entirely our fault. Folks who came a day early to the convention a couple of years, myself included, got to witness a Methodist's convention leaving the day before AC started... and some of those people were heavier than the biggest folks in the fandom. I kid you not. I think it was either 2001 or 2002 where the Methodist's convention already had one of the elevators acting up before hardly any of the Furs started arriving.--[[User:MythicFox|MythicFox]] 23:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
