[http://www.tailstoamaze.com/]<br /> <br /> The webcomic has been updated on its own site consistently since October 11, 2001. It chronicles the lives and adventures of a cairn terrier named Dandy, his owner Bernard, and their family and friends in the suburban neighborhood of [[Wikipedia:Loudonville, Ohio|Loudonville, Ohio]]. Dandy usually spends most of his time with Bernard by pulling pranks on him, having watergun fights, and in the more fantastical storylines, dealing with extraterrestrials or evil dopplegangers. The humor is a mixture from the likes of [[Calvin and Hobbes]], [[Looney Tunes]], and general science-fiction and geek culture, all presented within the context of the irreverent stories and with a sarcastic tone. Readers of the strip often remark on its vibrant, high-energy artistic style which would lend itself well to becoming an animated feature, much like [[Wikipedia:PvP#PvP: The Series|PvP: The Series]].<br /> <br /> Aside from the webcomic itself, Derrick has made an assortment of bonus material, including side stories, [[Wikipedia:guest comics|guest comics]], web accessories, printed collections, and even some short animations featuring the characters.<br /> <br /> The strip finally ended on December 10, 2018 with a story arc that connects back to the very first D&amp;C strip in the final strip.<br /> <br /> == Characters ==<br /> <br /> '''Danforth Quentin Dog VI''' (Dandy) - a Cairn Terrier [[dog]]. The eponymous costar of the comic is somewhat of a foil to his human boy Bernard, with whom he shares a more or less &quot;love-hate&quot; relationship. Dandy spends most of his time plotting pranks against Bernard, but he also has an occasional romantic interest in a female dog named Maryweather.<br /> <br /> '''Bernard''' - a [[human]] boy. He is a somewhat naive and cheerful soul simply trying to make his way through life in a normal manner, but his dog is constantly getting in his way...not to mention a lot of other strange things like an alien abduction or a hungry alligator. Nevertheless, Bernard often finds ways to get back at Dandy--an art which he seems to be learning from his dog. Bernard also possesses a &quot;beanie hat&quot; which may or may not be a mysterious magical item.<br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The strip and its core characters (Dandy, his younger brother Mistake, Dandy's human owner Bernard and his father George) were originally created by Derrick in 1982 at the age of 8 as part of a grade school art project. He continued drawing new strips and growing the cast and universe on and off for years before starting the current web comic. The official continuity of the current strip began with strips Derrick created while attending the [[Wikipedia:Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art|Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art]] in 1994. These short stories and strips were collected in a series of 6 self-published &quot;fanzine-style&quot; comics under an earlier title of &quot;Dandy and Friends&quot;.<br /> <br /> In March 2005, Derrick was approached by a fan of the comic interested in helping to bring it into the 21st century with a brand-new website powered by the [[Wikipedia:Wordpress|Wordpress]] [[Wikipedia:content management system|content management system]] which would heavily automate the comic posting process. Until then, Derrick, together with his wife Melissa, had been manually editing and updating the website for each new comic every day. The new website went live on May 2, 2005 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2005/05/02/] and was one of the first webcomics to use Wordpress as a comic publishing platform.<br /> <br /> Dandy &amp; Company experienced a moderate hiatus between December 5, 2005 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2005/12/05/] and July 3, 2006 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2006/07/03/] due to personal reasons, during which time Derrick re-ran strips from the beginning. On March 19, 2007, Derrick announced another hiatus [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2007/03/19/], although this time much shorter than previously. Four months later, strips began reappearing on the site and Derrick made a statement that he would finish the current storyline beginning August 24th [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/forums/index.php?topic=713.0] after which the webcomic, and the site, would undergo a &quot;rebranding&quot; to bring all of his projects together under one roof.<br /> <br /> On May 1st, nearly three years after first approaching Derrick, Dandy &amp; Company's webmaster revealed a new version of the website with a more mature, colorful theme and new logo. The new design also featured a re-envisioned archives, [[Wikipedia:AJAX|AJAX]]-driven in-page strip navigation, and additional opportunity for advertising.<br /> <br /> In 2010, Derrick announced that he would be ending the strip by the summer. As of now, the website is inaccessible and the comic has not yet ended.<br /> <br /> ==Storyline referencing furry==<br /> [[File:Dandy and Co. on furries.png|thumb|right|Are you a werewolf?]]<br /> A storyline from Derrick Fish's ''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, &quot;Oh God, I've failed as a mother!&quot; (Followup strips are [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/11/ here] and [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/22/ here].)<br /> <br /> 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.

He continued drawing new strips and growing the cast and universe on and off for years before starting the current web comic. The official continuity of the current strip began with strips Derrick created while attending the [[Wikipedia:Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art|Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art]] in 1994. These short stories and strips were collected in a series of 6 self-published &quot;fanzine-style&quot; comics under an earlier title of &quot;Dandy and Friends&quot;.<br /> <br /> In March 2005, Derrick was approached by a fan of the comic interested in helping to bring it into the 21st century with a brand-new website powered by the [[Wikipedia:Wordpress|Wordpress]] [[Wikipedia:content management system|content management system]] which would heavily automate the comic posting process. Until then, Derrick, together with his wife Melissa, had been manually editing and updating the website for each new comic every day.

On March 19, 2007, Derrick announced another hiatus [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2007/03/19/], although this time much shorter than previously. Four months later, strips began reappearing on the site and Derrick made a statement that he would finish the current storyline beginning August 24th [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/forums/index.php?topic=713.0] after which the webcomic, and the site, would undergo a &quot;rebranding&quot; to bring all of his projects together under one roof.<br /> <br /> On May 1st, nearly three years after first approaching Derrick, Dandy &amp; Company's webmaster revealed a new version of the website with a more mature, colorful theme and new logo.

<p>TyVulpine: </p> <hr /> <div>The following article covers the regions of the Dragon Valley Estate sim in the [[Fur Valleys]] location of [[Second Life]]. All the sims closed after Foxkin passed away and are no longer accessible.<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> The '''Dragon Valley Estate''', named such as '''Dragon Valley''', was the first sim to become part of this estate, are all owned by Foxkin Impfondo, and his rental group, [[Foxkin Rentals]] which manages most of the rented land within the estate.<br /> <br /> The administrators of the Dragon Valley Estate and Foxkin Rentals include: [[Autumnfox|Autumnfox Vesperia]], [[djomnifusion Snickerdoodle]], and [[SleightOf Hand]].<br /> <br /> These regions are listed separately for clarity, in the approximate order in which each joined the Valley chain, rather than the order in which each joined the Dragon Valley Estate.<br /> <br /> === Tiger Valley ===<br /> <br /> Tiger Valley is primarily Japanese themed. This region is devoted to land rentals, and is divided into nine rentable sections. It was originally owned by [[Epic Tank]], but was sold to [[David von Foxkin|Foxkin Impfondo]] in early September 2006.<br /> <br /> === Rabbit Valley ===<br /> <br /> Rabbit Valley was originally owned by Kithylin Perth, later sold to the [[Kenzo Clan]], and finally now owned by Foxkin Impfondo. The region bears no relationship to the [[Rabbit Valley|publisher of the same name]].<br /> <br /> === Dragon Valley ===<br /> <br /> Dragon Valley was the first region to become part of the Dragon Valley Estate. It will also soon contain the central office for Foxkin Rentals, which manages the majority of the rentable land within the Dragon Valley Estate.<br /> <br /> Dragon Valley is primarily a residential region, and is divided into four sections, each with its own theme: Japanese (Northeast), Medieval European (Southeast), Rustic (Northwest) and Modern (Southwest).<br /> <br /> In addition to land rentals, apartments are also available in Dragon Valley, including: Pagoda Apartments, Treehouse Apartments, Sky Apartments and Dragon Apartments. The Pagoda features a [[Kitsune (mythology)|kitsune]] shrine in front.<br /> <br /> === Ryu Valley ===<br /> <br /> Ryu Valley is primarily a region in Second Life for visitors rather than residents of the estate. It consists of a volcanic tropical island with forest and a small bay, and sandy relaxed beaches.<br /> <br /> Ryu's primary features include TangenT - a ancient arena constructed by a long gone civilization, now re-purposed as a hangout with music, dancers and nightly fun. Encompassing this is the Ryu Marketplace, a mall with avatars and avatar modding accessories.<br /> <br /> 3000 meters above the jungle floor is the Macro Room, one of the major draws to this region, which features [[macro]] prim furries, and a variety of situations for normal-sized furs to escape from. The macro room changes often, so check back for new additions!<br /> <br /> Ryu was the second region to become part of the Dragon Valley Estates.<br /> <br /> === Falcon Valley ===<br /> <br /> Falcon Valley, formerly known as FlyinTails Airfield, is a residential region, available for land rentals. It currently lies North of the Valleys, and is awaiting connection to the Dragon Estate.<br /> <br /> [http://www.foxchange.com/matt/flyintails.php FlyingTails Airfield] was devoted to flying aircraft of all sorts, and was set up like a giant airport, complete with landing and take-off strips. The region was originally owned by [http://foxchange.com/matt Effsey Nelson], but was sold to Foxkin Impfondo on 18 September 2007.<br /> <br /> === Neko Valley ===<br /> <br /> Neko Valley came online in November 2006 and is primarily a residential region, available for land rentals.

While originally a residential region, it now caters primarily to commercial residents. It is the sister island of Ferret Valley.<br /> <br /> === Ferret Valley ===<br /> <br /> The sister island of Cheetah Valley, which emerged at the same time, Ferret Valley is also a residential island available for land rentals.<br /> <br /> Unlike Cheetah, Ferret once featured a large mall within a Japanese-style pagoda, as well as containing the visitor center for Foxkin Rentals. The mall has since merged with the Moon that Never Sets Mall in Ryu Valley, and the Foxkin Rentals offices are in the process of moving to Dragon Valley.<br /> <br /> === Ocelot Valley ===<br /> <br /> Ocelot Valley came online in early 2007 and is primarily a residential region. It is the sister island of Meerkat Valley.<br /> <br /> === Meerkat Valley ===<br /> <br /> Meerkat Valley is the sister island of Ocelot Valley, which emerged at the same time. Like Cheetah Valley, this region was originally residential, but later became devoted to commercial residents.

<p>TyVulpine: Site and forums are lost</p> <hr /> <div>{{Wikify}}<br /> {{advert}}<br /> {{Infobox website<br /> | title = FurRag<br /> | image = [[File:Furrag.png]]<br /> | author = '''Owners:''' [[Alex Vance]]<br /> * '''Site Founder:''' Alex Vance<br /> * '''Admins''': [[Quinn Yellowfox]], [[Altivo]]<br /> | url = http://www.furrag.com (lost)<br /> *'''Forums''': http://forum.furrag.com (lost)<br /> | status =<br /> | began = 2005<br /> | ended = 2013<br /> | genre = Story archive<br /> | rating =<br /> }}<br /> '''FurRag''' was a furry fiction archive which caters to all types and genres of [[furry literature]]. It was built on the [http://fanlore.org/wiki/EFiction EFiction] archiving software and offered multi-chapter story creation, automated word count, and fields for story summaries and authors' notes, per story and per chapter.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> FurRag was started in 2005 with the goal of being the definitive [[furry fiction]] archive, dedicated to catering to all tastes and all genres. Deployed in Beta form in time for the 2005 National Novel Writing Month, development stalled after the coder who'd assisted FurRag's founder, Alex Vance, had to leave the project.<br /> <br /> [[Toumal]], founder of the [[Yiffstar]] archive, offered the use of his site's codebase several times, and Alex passed on several of the features he'd originally planned to implement, some of which later appeared in Yiffstar and its successor [[SoFurry]]. (such as the availability of an oekaki-board connected to each story, easier chapter navigation, and a more extensive favorites system).<br /> <br /> In April 2007, after several months of working on the project solo, Alex announced that FurRag was now out of Beta. Thoroughly redesigned, the site featured a sleeker interface and expanded functionality. Users can choose to receive e-mail notifications when an update has been made to a story, collection or by an author they've marked as 'favorite' and FurRag now features an integrated review system rather than having an automated bridge to the site's forum, as implemented in the Beta version (the code for this bridge had been provided by Toumal).<br /> <br /> ===Collections===<br /> <br /> FurRag was the first furry site to offer &quot;series&quot; or &quot;collections.&quot; A collection is a set created by a user which can contain any story available on the site, and stories can be part of an unlimited number of collections. Anyone who found a collection they were interested in could mark it as a 'favorite' and receive notification whenever a new story is added to it.<br /> <br /> Collections could also be made &quot;open,&quot; in which case any reader could add stories to the collection, or &quot;moderated,&quot; which offered the same freedom but which required the collection's creator to approve a story's addition to the collection. The notion was that readers with a particular set of interests would start groups for those interests, and add any story they encounter that's relevant to those collections.<br /> <br /> FurRag's collections can be seen in very similar form on SoFurry (as &quot;groups&quot;) and in a somewhat similar form on [[Weasyl]].<br /> <br /> ===FurRag and SoFurry===<br /> <br /> During the development of [[SoFurry]], plans had been made to merge FurRag's user base into the new site. FurRag would have then been slowly shut down. After considerable outcry from the FurRag user community over perceived differences in focus--FurRag being seen as more of a writers' community than a reader-focused archive site--these plans were shelved. FurRag continued as an independent site. While Alex continued to provide hosting for FurRag, he withdrew from day-to-day operations, joining SoFurry's staff as a designer.<br /> <br /> ==Data breach and shutdown==<br /> <br /> In September 13, Alex [http://forum.furrag.com/index.php/topic,1352.0.html posted a message to FurRag's forum]:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> I've been made aware of a list of usernames, e-mail addresses and MD5 hashes that has been leaked and determined that it was stolen from FurRag on 2 September.<br /> <br /> For the security of our users I'm putting the site in Maintenance Mode until further notice, while I seek help in investigating the source of the security breach, the nature and extent of it, and what solutions there can be.<br /> <br /> In the meantime, I advise you all to change the password on any accounts you have that use the same e-mail and password combination as you use for FurRag. Note that this is precautionary advice: there's currently no evidence that anyone has access to your password.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Alex believed that the list contained usernames from multiple sites that used the EFiction software. A follow-up post on September 29th announced FurRag would not re-open:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> I've had only limited success in securing information about why the list of usernames, e-mail addresses, and password hashes was able to be retrieved. (...) I've reached out to a few nerd acquaintances, none of whom are available to review and overhaul the codebase. This is understandable; it's a massive amount of work and it's a serious responsibility.<br /> <br /> (...) All this means that, as it currently looks, FurRag is destined for the knacker's yard. We can't in good conscience keep the site up, knowing that our users' information is at risk due to unknown and unfixed security flaws in the codebase. We don't have the resources to fix it ourselves.<br /> <br /> FurRag will be shut down, but I'm currently investigating how to best do that. On the one hand, it would be good to leave the site on in a read-only fashion so that folks can get at their stories and comments and archive them somehow; on the other hand, doing so would prevent folks from being able to delete stories, or their own profiles, should they not wish them to be available anymore. Further, it does not currently appear that the eFiction codebase even has a facility for a read-only mode.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> In February 2014, [[Watts Martin|Chipotle]] was given access by Alex to the source code and database in order to create a static version of the site, allowing existing content to be read but not added to. FurRag's forums remain open.<br /> <br /> ==Site [[mascot]]s==<br /> <br /> When the site was first created, Alex Vance commissioned artist [[Kamui]] to design four [[character]]s to represent the four user types originally devised in FurRag's functionality scheme. With the April 2007 update, the number was reduced to three. The mascots were Jack Rad, a fox who represented the reader; Nick Brilliant, a solitary wolf who represented the writer; and Dick McCritic, a raccoon who represented the editor.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Administrators==<br /> * [[Quinn Yellowfox]]<br /> <br /> {{Media archives}}<br /> [[Category:Story archives]]<br /> [[Category:2005 births]]<br /> [[it:FurRag]]<br /> [[ru:FurRag]]<br /> [[sv:FurRag]]</div>

<p>TyVulpine: Updating status</p> <hr /> <div>{{time}}<br /> {{Infobox webcomic <br /> | title = Dandy &amp; Company<br /> | image = [[Image:Dandylogo.png|Dandy &amp; Company Logo]]<br /> | caption = <br /> | author = [[Derrick Fish]]<br /> | url = [http://www.dandyandcompany.blogspot.com http://www.dandyandcompany.blogspot.com]<br /> | status = Every Wednesday<br /> | began = October 11th, 2001 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2001/10/11/]<br /> | ended = Continuing<br /> | genre = Comedy / Adventure<br /> | rating = [[Image:Censor_PG_button.png]][[Category:Rated PG]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> &quot;Dandy &amp; Company,&quot; is a [[webcomic]] created and produced by cartoonist [[Derrick Fish]][http://derrickfish.deviantart.com/], who has also produced the comic book &quot;[[Scarred World: The Chronicles of Aegis]]&quot; and currently co-produces the [[Half Moose Media]] title &quot;[[Tails to Amaze]]&quot; alongside writer [[Marc Hammond]]. [http://www.tailstoamaze.com/]<br /> <br /> The webcomic has been updated on its own site consistently since October 11, 2001. It chronicles the lives and adventures of a cairn terrier named Dandy, his owner Bernard, and their family and friends in the suburban neighborhood of [[Wikipedia:Loudonville, Ohio|Loudonville, Ohio]]. Dandy usually spends most of his time with Bernard by pulling pranks on him, having watergun fights, and in the more fantastical storylines, dealing with extraterrestrials or evil dopplegangers. The humor is a mixture from the likes of [[Calvin and Hobbes]], [[Looney Tunes]], and general science-fiction and geek culture, all presented within the context of the irreverent stories and with a sarcastic tone. Readers of the strip often remark on its vibrant, high-energy artistic style which would lend itself well to becoming an animated feature, much like [[Wikipedia:PvP#PvP: The Series|PvP: The Series]].<br /> <br /> Aside from the webcomic itself, Derrick has made an assortment of bonus material, including side stories, [[Wikipedia:guest comics|guest comics]], web accessories, printed collections, and even some short animations featuring the characters.<br /> <br /> == Characters ==<br /> <br /> '''Danforth Quentin Dog VI''' (Dandy) - a Cairn Terrier [[dog]]. The eponymous costar of the comic is somewhat of a foil to his human boy Bernard, with whom he shares a more or less &quot;love-hate&quot; relationship. Dandy spends most of his time plotting pranks against Bernard, but he also has an occasional romantic interest in a female dog named Maryweather.<br /> <br /> '''Bernard''' - a [[human]] boy. He is a somewhat naive and cheerful soul simply trying to make his way through life in a normal manner, but his dog is constantly getting in his way...not to mention a lot of other strange things like an alien abduction or a hungry alligator. Nevertheless, Bernard often finds ways to get back at Dandy--an art which he seems to be learning from his dog. Bernard also possesses a &quot;beanie hat&quot; which may or may not be a mysterious magical item.<br /> <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The strip and its core characters (Dandy, his younger brother Mistake, Dandy's human owner Bernard and his father George) were originally created by Derrick in 1982 at the age of 8 as part of a grade school art project. He continued drawing new strips and growing the cast and universe on and off for years before starting the current web comic. The official continuity of the current strip began with strips Derrick created while attending the [[Wikipedia:Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art|Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art]] in 1994. These short stories and strips were collected in a series of 6 self-published &quot;fanzine-style&quot; comics under an earlier title of &quot;Dandy and Friends&quot;.<br /> <br /> In March 2005, Derrick was approached by a fan of the comic interested in helping to bring it into the 21st century with a brand-new website powered by the [[Wikipedia:Wordpress|Wordpress]] [[Wikipedia:content management system|content management system]] which would heavily automate the comic posting process. Until then, Derrick, together with his wife Melissa, had been manually editing and updating the website for each new comic every day. The new website went live on May 2, 2005 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2005/05/02/] and was one of the first webcomics to use Wordpress as a comic publishing platform.<br /> <br /> Dandy &amp; Company experienced a moderate hiatus between December 5, 2005 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2005/12/05/] and July 3, 2006 [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2006/07/03/] due to personal reasons, during which time Derrick re-ran strips from the beginning. On March 19, 2007, Derrick announced another hiatus [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2007/03/19/], although this time much shorter than previously. Four months later, strips began reappearing on the site and Derrick made a statement that he would finish the current storyline beginning August 24th [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/forums/index.php?topic=713.0] after which the webcomic, and the site, would undergo a &quot;rebranding&quot; to bring all of his projects together under one roof.<br /> <br /> On May 1st, nearly three years after first approaching Derrick, Dandy &amp; Company's webmaster revealed a new version of the website with a more mature, colorful theme and new logo. The new design also featured a re-envisioned archives, [[Wikipedia:AJAX|AJAX]]-driven in-page strip navigation, and additional opportunity for advertising.<br /> <br /> In 2010, Derrick announced that he would be ending the strip by the summer. As of now, the website is inaccessible and the comic has not yet ended.<br /> <br /> ==Storyline referencing furry==<br /> [[File:Dandy and Co. on furries.png|thumb|right|Are you a werewolf?]]<br /> A storyline from Derrick Fish's ''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, &quot;Oh God, I've failed as a mother!&quot; (Followup strips are [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/11/ here] and [http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2004/11/22/ here].)<br /> <br /> 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, &quot;All I know is that right now, every &quot;furry&quot; on the 'Net is twitching in a glee-induced seizure.&quot; ([http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2007/02/05/ link])<br /> <br /> == Print versions ==<br /> <br /> There are currently five, 128-page paperback print collections of the Dandy &amp; Company strips being sold through Lulu: <br /> #[http://www.lulu.com/content/1333723 Dandy &amp; Company: Vol. 1, Out of the Doghouse]<br /> #[http://www.lulu.com/content/1763076 Dandy &amp; Company: Vol. 2, Running with the Big Dogs]<br /> #[http://www.lulu.com/content/2104423 Dandy &amp; Company: Vol. 3, Old Dogs &amp; New Tricks]<br /> #[http://www.lulu.com/content/2104706 Dandy &amp; Company: Vol. 4, Destiny in Dog Years]<br /> #[http://www.lulu.com/content/2105017 Dandy &amp; Company: Vol. 5, Going to the Dogs]<br /> <br /> ...along with a [http://www.lulu.com/content/601778 full-color, 140-page anthology] of every Dandy &amp; Company color strip entitled &quot;Dandy &amp; Company and the Amazing Technicolor Yawn,&quot; available from [[Wikipedia: Lulu.com|Lulu Press]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Dandy and Company|''Dandy and Company'']] at [[Wikipedia]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics]]<br /> [[Category:2001 births]]</div>

<p>TyVulpine: Talked with R.T. via email and he has stated he has little time for the comic anymore</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox webcomic <br /> | title = Tails From the Mynarski Forest<br /> | image = [[Image:Zzl07 52 2.jpg|Liska often causes her own problems]]<br /> | author = Richard T.

Matheson]]. It debuted on May 20, 1997 and is updated weekly. Its older strips, which went by the name ''Skippy and Liska'', were also mirrored on [[Yerf]]. The strip's fictitious location, from which the title is taken, is supposedly located in central Alberta, Canada and named after the Canadian World War II fighter pilot Andrew Charles Mynarski.<br /> <br /> The strip centers around ''Skippy'', a twitchy but good-natured cottontail rabbit, and his sociopathic red vixen denmate ''Liska''. Liska's character was originally inspired by the character Liska Bystrouska (Czech for &quot;Vixen Sharp-ears&quot;) from Rudolph Tesnohlidek's novel ''[[The Cunning Little Vixen]]''&lt;ref&gt;[http://mynarskiforest.purrsia.com/origin.htm Origins of Species] Retrieved December 2, 2008&lt;/ref&gt;. Much like her Czech counterpart, the Liska of the comic is crude, brutish, and often tactless. She is also a terrible hunter and has learned to subsist on roadkill and discarded human food, her favorite food being gophers.<br /> <br /> Other characters include ''Heywood'', a delusional swift fox expatriated from Colorado; ''Finch'', a [[raccoon]] who waxes philosophical; ''Boofer'', an insanely territorial [[Squirrel_(species)|squirrel]] with a deadeye aim; ''Clarence'', Liska's bumbling, sensitive and excessively naive arch-nemesis; and ''Mitties'', a [[cat]] from the nearby farmhouse. The critters' main adversary is ''Hunter Hank'', a semi-competent hunter whose face is never seen. Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien has made a couple of guest appearances as well.<br /> <br /> A recurring gag in the strip is Heywood's overactive imagination. Like Orson the pig from ''U.S. Acres'', Heywood has the unexplained ability to make his fantasies (&quot;delusions&quot; in his case) come to life and affect those around him.<br /> <br /> Matheson also had a gallery on Yerf featuring his ''Mynarski Forest'' characters.<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;faking for an insanity plea,&quot; the chief replies, &quot;No, no! I've read about these crazy furry fans in [[Wikipedia:Vanity Fair (magazine)|''Vanity Fair'']]!&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].)<br /> <br /> On September 14, 2009, the strip was placed on hiatus, during which reruns of older strips were posted. Originally planned to last six months, the hiatus has continued due to R.T's full-time security guard job. The forums have been also &quot;lost&quot;.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://mynarskiforest.purrsia.com/ ''Mynarski Forest'' home page]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics]]<br /> [[Category:Alberta]]<br /> [[Category:1997 births]]<br /> [[ru:Mynarski Forest]]</div>

Simpson]]. Launched in 1998, it was updated five times a week or more for the majority of its run. On April 24, 2008, D.C. Simpson announced on the Ozy and Millie website that the comic would be ending sometime prior to the end of 2008, with occasional longer-length strips possible after that. The last posted regular installment of the series was on December 23, 2008.<br /> <br /> ''Ozy and Millie'' (vol. 4, ''Authentic Banana Dye'') won the 2002 [[Ursa Major Award]] for ''Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work'', as well as ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic'' from the [http://www.ccawards.com/ Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards] for that same year. It was also nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip'' in 2005, and won the same award in 2006 and 2007.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> [[Image:OzyandMillie.png|thumb|right|Webcomic's initial logo]]<br /> D.C. Simpson notes on the web site's [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/history/ history page] that early versions of the strip's characters first started appearing at the beginning of 1997. The characters continued in ''Tales of Planet Q'' later that year, eventually becoming Ozy and Millie on 1 January, 1998 (''Planet Q'' was published that same month in ''[[Hunca Munca!]] #5'', and also appeared in the indie comic [[Furrlough]], issue #61). The characters were redesigned over April-May 2000. Versions are available in [http://ozyandmillie.furpost.ru/ Russian], [http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~tinki/ German] and [http://www.glasswings.com.au/comics/ozyandmillie.fr/ French], along with a few examples in [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/latin/ Latin] and [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/klingon/ Klingon].<br /> <br /> == Main Characters ==<br /> As in [[Wikipedia:Charles Schulz|Charles Schulz]]'s [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]], the main focus of of Ozy and Millie is among a group of children. Unlike Peanuts, however, the few adult characters are usually visible to the reader.<br /> <br /> A complete list of characters (with pictures) is given on [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/cast.html the O&amp;M site's &quot;cast&quot; page].<br /> <br /> === Ozy ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ozy.gif|right|Ozy]]<br /> Ozy, ten years old, lives in the small American town of North Harbordale, together with his friend Millie. He is an [[Arctic fox|arctic fox]]. He was originally supposed to be a [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] according to D.C. Simpson, until a fan showed him a [http://web.archive.org/web/20060830082827/www.ozyandmillie.org/images/ArcticFoxPups.jpg photo of arctic fox kits] that, he said, were &quot;absolute ringers&quot; for Ozy. Ozy did retain his whisker marks however.<br /> <br /> Ozy's full name, Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn, is a reference to the poem ''Ozymandias'' by [[Wikipedia:Percy Bysshe Shelley|Percy Bysshe Shelley]]:<br /> <br /> :''My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:''<br /> :''Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!''<br /> <br /> Ozy is easily recognised by his large top hat, which he got from his father Llewellyn when he adopted Ozy. Apart from the hat he wears only a vest, but no pants, which occasionally makes him the target of some of Millie's practical jokes. He's generally adept at letting Millie's pranks pass by without much effect, but he does occasionally have to suffer bullying at the hands of the school jock, Jeremy, whose favorite pastime involves stuffing Ozy into rubbish bins. Apart from that, Ozy suffers from annual baldness, usually through either some freak accident or because of Millie. Although it is caused by a curse, which has passed on through Ozy's adoptive father's heritage largely unnoticed, it does affect Ozy rather badly since he is the first Llewellyn with any hair to lose at all.<br /> <br /> Ozy is also quiet and serene, and under guidance of his father, Ozy practices the art of [[Wikipedia:Zen|Zen]] - or more a humorous version of it. The fundamentals of his view is explained as: ''It has been said that, while knowledge is acquired by learning... Wisdom is acquired by unlearning.''<br /> <br /> === Millie ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:millie.gif|right|Millie]]<br /> :''I act weird because I figure, hey, I'm gonna be an outcast anyway, so I might as well do it with style.'' – Millie<br /> <br /> Ozy spends most of his time with his best friend Millie, a ten year old [[Red fox|red fox]] girl. Millicent Mehitabel Mudd, as her full name goes, is usually seen wearing her set of blue denim overalls. Unlike Ozy's zenlike calmness, Millie's trademark is chaos, both in the destruction she leaves behind and the clever ways she devises to get out of doing work.<br /> <br /> She's a real rebel, and is opposed to any form of authority, which regularly leads to confrontations with both her teacher, Ms. Sorkowitz, and her mother, Ms. Mudd. Her destructive and rebellious habits not only get herself into trouble, but quite often Ozy too when she drags him along into yet another of her grand schemes of world domination - or, failing that, uses him to hide the trail of destruction. And although she might be havoc incarnate at times, she also has a strong sense of justice, and has a hard time facing the inexplicable wrongs of life and the world she sees. However, her rebellion against the establishment is mostly limited to annoying her mother, playing jokes on Ozy and disrupting the peace at school. None of which matters any less to her, as long as she has fun doing it.<br /> <br /> Millie says aloud what others think, and does what others, for fear of reaction from the people around them, wouldn't dare. She has her introspective and thoughtful moments, and like Ozy she thinks about great (and sometimes not so great) philosophical questions. What makes her unique is how she goes about finding the answers.<br /> <br /> === Llewellyn ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:llewellyn.gif|right|Llewellyn]]<br /> :''Whatever does not kill me makes me stranger.'' – Llewellyn<br /> <br /> Ozy's adoptive father, known only as Llewellyn, is a red [[Dragon|dragon]] whose manner can only be described as strange. When he's not running for U.S. president or involved in some kind of secret conspiracy, he's the one to give Ozy the support he needs with often some clever but seemingly useless advice. In the meantime, he runs his house as a separate nation, Greater Llewellynlland.<br /> <br /> Llewellyn is likely around 150-200 years old, and currently lives by himself, having only Ozy to raise and care for. The kids both like him, though they often see him as a big red friendly oddball. While his stories usually contain a lesson somewhere, the lesson is either completely irrelevant or the story completely pointless, and it's never entirely sure whether or not he's actually making it all up as he goes. He clearly has some secrets up his sleeve, but you're more likely to see him bathing in banana pudding than chanting ancient incantations.<br /> <br /> === Ms. Mudd ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ms_mudd.gif|right|Ms. Mudd]]<br /> Millie's mother is best described as an older, wiser, and perhaps more temperate version of Millie herself. Having been much like Millie in her past, and being an accomplished lawyer today, she knows all the tricks, rules and loopholes that come with raising Millie, much to Millie's own annoyance. And while Ms. Mudd knows how to deal with mischievous little fox girls, she's also the first to lend her support if there's anything amiss with her little sprout.<br /> <br /> Since she is living alone with Millie, Ms. Mudd has been looking for companionship, and found it with Llewellyn. They've been dating for a while, and it seems that they get along very well together. Not to mention the effect this has on the two children, who can unsurprisingly get along better with the parent of the other most of the time.<br /> <br /> Her full name was finally revealed to be Mililani Minerva Mudd on October 1, 2008, ending years of speculation by fans.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * ''[[Wikipedia:Ozy and Millie|Ozy and Millie]]'' at Wikipedia<br /> * [[Define &quot;Cynical&quot;]] - Official fan forum<br /> * [[House Rules]] - Fan-made colorings of the strips<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.ozyandmillie.org Official ''Ozy and Millie'' web site]<br /> * [http://www.lulu.com/dcsimpson Buy ''Ozy and Millie''] from Lulu.com<br /> <br /> === Fan activities ===<br /> * [http://www.definecynical.net/ Define &quot;Cynical&quot;] - Fan site and discussion forum<br /> <br /> === Reviews ===<br /> * [http://anthrozine.com/revw/rvw.patten.06.html#tofu.knights Review of ''Tofu Knights''] at ''[[Anthro (magazine)|Anthro]]''<br /> {{Ursa Major Awards winners}}<br /> [[Category:Comics]][[Category:Ursa Major Award winners]][[Category:1998 births]]<br /> [[ru:Ози и Милли]]</div>

They left their former lives behind and formed a group destined for various adventures, in a [[Wikipedia:Dungeons &amp; Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] theme.

Matheson]]. It debuted on May 20, 1997 and is updated weekly. Its older strips, which went by the name ''Skippy and Liska'', were also mirrored on [[Yerf]]. The strip's fictitious location, from which the title is taken, is supposedly located in central Alberta, Canada and named after the Canadian World War II fighter pilot Andrew Charles Mynarski.<br /> <br /> The strip centers around ''Skippy'', a twitchy but good-natured cottontail rabbit, and his sociopathic red vixen denmate ''Liska''. Liska's character was originally inspired by the character Liska Bystrouska (Czech for &quot;Vixen Sharp-ears&quot;) from Rudolph Tesnohlidek's novel ''[[The Cunning Little Vixen]]''&lt;ref&gt;[http://mynarskiforest.purrsia.com/origin.htm Origins of Species] Retrieved December 2, 2008&lt;/ref&gt;. Much like her Czech counterpart, the Liska of the comic is crude, brutish, and often tactless. She is also a terrible hunter and has learned to subsist on roadkill and discarded human food, her favorite food being gophers.<br /> <br /> Other characters include ''Heywood'', a delusional swift fox expatriated from Colorado; ''Finch'', a [[raccoon]] who waxes philosophical; ''Boofer'', an insanely territorial [[squirrel]] with a deadeye aim; ''Clarence'', Liska's bumbling, sensitive and excessively naive arch-nemesis; and ''Mitties'', a [[cat]] from the nearby farmhouse. The critters' main adversary is ''Hunter Hank'', a semi-competent hunter whose face is never seen. Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien has made a couple of guest appearances as well.<br /> <br /> A recurring gag in the strip is Heywood's overactive imagination. Like Orson the pig from ''U.S. Acres'', Heywood has the unexplained ability to make his fantasies (&quot;delusions&quot; in his case) come to life and affect those around him.<br /> <br /> Matheson also had a gallery on Yerf featuring his ''Mynarski Forest'' characters.<br /> <br /> On September 14, 2009, the strip was placed on hiatus, during which reruns of older strips were posted. Originally planned to last six months, the hiatus has, for unknown reasons, stretched to over three years as of September, 2012 with the forums also &quot;lost&quot;.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://mynarskiforest.purrsia.com/ ''Mynarski Forest'' home page]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics]]<br /> [[Category:Alberta]]<br /> [[Category:1997 births]]</div>

Simpson]]. Launched in 1998, it was updated five times a week or more for the majority of its run. On April 24, 2008, D.C. Simpson announced on the Ozy and Millie website that the comic would be ending sometime prior to the end of 2008, with occasional longer-length strips possible after that. The last posted regular installment of the series was on December 23, 2008.<br /> <br /> ''Ozy and Millie'' (vol. 4, ''Authentic Banana Dye'') won the 2002 [[Ursa Major Award]] for ''Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work'', as well as ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic'' from the [http://www.ccawards.com/ Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards] for that same year. It was also nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip'' in 2005, and won the same award in 2006 and 2007.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> [[Image:OzyandMillie.png|thumb|right|Webcomic's initial logo]]<br /> D.C. Simpson notes on the web site's [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/history/ history page] that early versions of the strip's characters first started appearing at the beginning of 1997. The characters continued in ''Tales of Planet Q'' later that year, eventually becoming Ozy and Millie on 1 January, 1998 (''Planet Q'' was published that same month in ''[[Hunca Munca!]] #5'', and also appeared in the indie comic [[Furrlough]], issue #61). The characters were redesigned over April-May 2000. Versions are available in [http://ozyandmillie.furpost.ru/ Russian], [http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~tinki/ German] and [http://www.glasswings.com.au/comics/ozyandmillie.fr/ French], along with a few examples in [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/latin/ Latin] and [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/klingon/ Klingon].<br /> <br /> == Main Characters ==<br /> As in [[Wikipedia:Charles Schulz|Charles Schulz]]'s [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]], the main focus of of Ozy and Millie is among a group of children. Unlike Peanuts, however, the few adult characters are usually visible to the reader.<br /> <br /> A complete list of characters (with pictures) is given on [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/cast.html the O&amp;M site's &quot;cast&quot; page].<br /> <br /> === Ozy ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ozy.gif|right|Ozy]]<br /> Ozy, ten years old, lives in the small American town of North Harbordale, together with his friend Millie. He is an [[Arctic fox|arctic fox]]. He was originally supposed to be a [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] according to D.C. Simpson, until a fan showed him a [http://web.archive.org/web/20060830082827/www.ozyandmillie.org/images/ArcticFoxPups.jpg photo of arctic fox kits] that, he said, were &quot;absolute ringers&quot; for Ozy. Ozy did retain his whisker marks however.<br /> <br /> Ozy's full name, Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn, is a reference to the poem ''Ozymandias'' by [[Wikipedia:Percy Bysshe Shelley|Percy Bysshe Shelley]]:<br /> <br /> :''My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:''<br /> :''Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!''<br /> <br /> Ozy is easily recognised by his large top hat, which he got from his father Llewellyn when he adopted Ozy. Apart from the hat he wears only a vest, but no pants, which occasionally makes him the target of some of Millie's practical jokes. He's generally adept at letting Millie's pranks pass by without much effect, but he does occasionally have to suffer bullying at the hands of the school jock, Jeremy, whose favorite pastime involves stuffing Ozy into rubbish bins. Apart from that, Ozy suffers from annual baldness, usually through either some freak accident or because of Millie. Although it is caused by a curse, which has passed on through Ozy's adoptive father's heritage largely unnoticed, it does affect Ozy rather badly since he is the first Llewellyn with any hair to lose at all.<br /> <br /> Ozy is also quiet and serene, and under guidance of his father, Ozy practices the art of [[Wikipedia:Zen|Zen]] - or more a humorous version of it. The fundamentals of his view is explained as: ''It has been said that, while knowledge is acquired by learning... Wisdom is acquired by unlearning.''<br /> <br /> === Millie ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:millie.gif|right|Millie]]<br /> :''I act weird because I figure, hey, I'm gonna be an outcast anyway, so I might as well do it with style.'' – Millie<br /> <br /> Ozy spends most of his time with his best friend Millie, a ten year old [[Red fox|red fox]] girl. Millicent Mehitabel Mudd, as her full name goes, is usually seen wearing her set of blue denim overalls. Unlike Ozy's zenlike calmness, Millie's trademark is chaos, both in the destruction she leaves behind and the clever ways she devises to get out of doing work.<br /> <br /> She's a real rebel, and is opposed to any form of authority, which regularly leads to confrontations with both her teacher, Ms. Sorkowitz, and her mother, Ms. Mudd. Her destructive and rebellious habits not only get herself into trouble, but quite often Ozy too when she drags him along into yet another of her grand schemes of world domination - or, failing that, uses him to hide the trail of destruction. And although she might be havoc incarnate at times, she also has a strong sense of justice, and has a hard time facing the inexplicable wrongs of life and the world she sees. However, her rebellion against the establishment is mostly limited to annoying her mother, playing jokes on Ozy and disrupting the peace at school. None of which matters any less to her, as long as she has fun doing it.<br /> <br /> Millie says aloud what others think, and does what others, for fear of reaction from the people around them, wouldn't dare. She has her introspective and thoughtful moments, and like Ozy she thinks about great (and sometimes not so great) philosophical questions. What makes her unique is how she goes about finding the answers.<br /> <br /> === Llewellyn ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:llewellyn.gif|right|Llewellyn]]<br /> :''Whatever does not kill me makes me stranger.'' – Llewellyn<br /> <br /> Ozy's adoptive father, known only as Llewellyn, is a red [[Dragon|dragon]] whose manner can only be described as strange. When he's not running for U.S. president or involved in some kind of secret conspiracy, he's the one to give Ozy the support he needs with often some clever but seemingly useless advice. In the meantime, he runs his house as a separate nation, Greater Llewellynlland.<br /> <br /> Llewellyn is likely around 150-200 years old, and currently lives by himself, having only Ozy to raise and care for. The kids both like him, though they often see him as a big red friendly oddball. While his stories usually contain a lesson somewhere, the lesson is either completely irrelevant or the story completely pointless, and it's never entirely sure whether or not he's actually making it all up as he goes. He clearly has some secrets up his sleeve, but you're more likely to see him bathing in banana pudding than chanting ancient incantations.<br /> <br /> === Ms. Mudd ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ms_mudd.gif|right|Ms. Mudd]]<br /> Millie's mother is best described as an older, wiser, and perhaps more temperate version of Millie herself. Having been much like Millie in her past, and being an accomplished lawyer today, she knows all the tricks, rules and loopholes that come with raising Millie, much to Millie's own annoyance. And while Ms. Mudd knows how to deal with mischievous little fox girls, she's also the first to lend her support if there's anything amiss with her little sprout.<br /> <br /> Since she is living alone with Millie, Ms. Mudd has been looking for companionship, and found it with Llewellyn. They've been dating for a while, and it seems that they get along very well together. Not to mention the effect this has on the two children, who can unsurprisingly get along better with the parent of the other most of the time.<br /> <br /> Her full name was finally revealed to be Mililani Minerva Mudd on October 1, 2008, ending years of speculation by fans.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * ''[[Wikipedia:Ozy and Millie|Ozy and Millie]]'' at Wikipedia<br /> * [[Define &quot;Cynical&quot;]] - Official fan forum<br /> * [[House Rules]] - Fan-made colorings of the strips<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.ozyandmillie.org Official ''Ozy and Millie'' web site]<br /> * [http://www.lulu.com/dcsimpson Buy ''Ozy and Millie''] from Lulu.com<br /> <br /> === Fan activities ===<br /> * [http://www.definecynical.net/ Define &quot;Cynical&quot;] - Fan site and discussion forum<br /> <br /> === Reviews ===<br /> * [http://anthrozine.com/revw/rvw.patten.06.html#tofu.knights Review of ''Tofu Knights''] at ''[[Anthro (magazine)|Anthro]]''<br /> {{Ursa Major Awards winners}}<br /> [[Category:Comics]][[Category:Ursa Major Award winners]][[Category:1998 births]]<br /> [[ru:Ози и Милли]]</div>

I did in fact check out the DVD link from that edit and did not see any clear indication that the person portrayed was Manawolf; it's possible but beyond them having the same first name (Sarah) I couldn't find anything on the site to make that connection. Even the word 'furry' in the DVD title appears to refer to the actress having never shaved rather than as any sort of reference to the fandom.<br /> <br /> Even if it is Manawolf I doubt this belongs on Wikifur. The DVD cover is inappropriate regardless, and the fact that someone appeared in an adult video is in my opinion controversial information that needs good references and needs a good reason to be publicized here.<br /> <br /> My only concern is whether giving Priest22 an infinite ban is appropriate in case it turns out that really is Manawolf in the DVD. If it's not her, then yes. If it is her, we should assume good faith and treat it as a case trying to post controversial/derogatory information. And if we don't know, well...

I'm sure everyone here would welcome any effort you can put in to keeping things tidy!--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Hi Higgs, thanks for the info. A few more questions, if I may? First, I noticed that you added [[Template:ContributorU]] to my friend [[User:Mishi|Mishi's]] user page. I almost had done that a few hours ago myself, but backed out of it since I wasn't sure that a general (non-admin) editor was permitted to edit another User: page. (Ref. [[User Talk:Spirou]]) So for instance, in this case, would it have been OK to add the ContributorU, particularly since Mishi and I are friends and work collaboratively? Or is it best to just avoid the User: page minefield? ;-) Also, with regard to the content spammer earlier that you blocked, I had just blanked the page and put an edit comment as to why. Would it have been better to use a Speedy Deletion tag instead? Thanks for your patient help. --[[User:CodyDenton|CodyDenton]] 11:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Thank You ==<br /> <br /> Thank you for moving those pages, I was unaware of the importance of that moving, instead of C/P. --[[User:LokiWuff|LokiWuff]] 21:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Thanks for the edits!==<br /> Howdy again Higgs, thanks for the edits on [[Rehgan|Rehgan's]] page.

There was a couple of references to bannings which he had reverted. I looked at them and they were referenced, but the wording was somewhat non-NPOV in my view. So I added a simple statement of fact about the bans with the references cited, and that's been reverted as well. At the risk of sounding clueless, is this an instance where the subject of the article should override other editors? Myself, I think that being banned from SL and from F-List, the latter with some amount of comment and so forth, would be justifiably included in the article, but I am not an experienced editor by any means; if this is an example of where I should just leave well enough alone, please let me know for my future guidance?

You could perhaps start a discussion about this on the article's talk page, where others editors and admins will see it. We don't like to create conflict, but at the same time shouldn't be censoring and sugar-coating articles. I guess you could debate whether or not Zidonuke's bans are noteworthy. My gut feeling is that they're a borderline case but probably worth including if there are references (as your edit had) and (if possible) a word of explanation about why he was banned.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 13:23, 6 April 2011 (CEST)<br /> <br /> == Exclusion of [[steampunk]] ==<br /> <br /> I'm curious as to why you've just reverted my whole edit contribution so far.<br /> <br /> Have you seen the [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Steampunk&amp;action=history edit history] for Steampunk? It was deleted years ago, quite reasonably, because there was a bigger and possibly better article at [[:wikipedia:Steampunk]]. However this &quot;manual redirect&quot; was never coded so that links can then work properly. Articles that referred to it, such as [[Grandville]], then had to hard-code the redirect on each article. This is just poor use of MediaWiki.<br /> <br /> You deleted the redirect on the grounds that off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice. This is simply untrue: it's what's implied by the deletion comment for the old Steampunk article and, more obviously, it's what you did yourself when you re-added the redirect in Grandville. Using a redirect page is simply good practice for MediaWiki - it centralises the redirect so that ''all'' WikiFur links to steampunk go through one clear article on it. This can be either local or, as here, a remote article at Wikipedia.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on links that redirect to Wikipedia, then that should be removed from Grandville.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on off-wiki redirects other than those to Wikipedia (using Wikipedia as a back-end for common terms is well-established practice on many, of not most, wikis) then that ban needs to be clarified. As it is, many terms and not just Steampunk are using redirected links like this. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] 17:42, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :No, I did '''not''' remove your edit to Steampunk because (in your words) &quot;off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice&quot;. I removed it because there was nothing else in the article '''but''' the redirect, and that is just not how things are done here. If you feel there is a poor use of WikiMedia you are welcome to take it up with GreenReaper.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:52, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :: So why is there now ''no content at all'' under [[Steampunk]]? If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place. <br /> :: Or is steampunk just one of those topics that isn't to be talked about at WikiFur?<br /> :: The sad thing is that I'm only here because I've been dragged into a political bunfight within the UK steampunk community about the appropriateness of Fur. There is a widely held view that there ''isn't'' any place for it, a view I see as narrow-minded on the part of those steampunks. When pushed, they defend this on the basis of &quot;You don't want to get involved with those Furries, they'll turn and bite you&quot; (not a view I've ever held). Yet moments after I turn up and start trying to expand Steamfurry coverage here, I do indeed find that they're pounced on and reverted, and the steampunk article blanked entirely! Do I have to admit I was wrong here and that it's not the ''Steampunks'' who have a problem with Fur, it's the Furries who have the problem with Steampunk?! [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] 18:06, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::: ''So why is there now no content at all under Steampunk? If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place.''<br /> :::There is currently no content at [[Steampunk]] because (...looks at deleted content...) the original article there was not deemed appropriate for WikiFur. It was a nice potted description of Steampunk but &quot;furry&quot; was not even mentioned. Hence it was not considered relevant for WikiFur, especially since nothing was said that Wikipedia did not already cover more fully.<br /> :::That deletion was in 2006. That was a while ago, so if, since then, there has been more overlap between the two fandoms, then it ''may'' be appropriate to have a Steampunk article on WikiFur. But it would need to be written in such a way that makes it relevant. (ie detailing the crossover between the two genres and emphasising the &quot;steamfur&quot; aspects not covered in other wikis.)--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 18:43, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :::I don't think we have any &quot;problem&quot; with steampunk. However, the topic also has no clear relevance to furry fandom, and Wikipedia has a quite adequate article on the topic. In such situations - to avoid useless duplication of effort - we instead link directly to Wikipedia, and require that any article created be restricted to matters which relate directly to furry fandom. The article which once existed on the topic did not contain any such material, and so it was deleted. If you would like to create an article detailing the influence of steampunk on furry fandom (or vice versa), you are welcome to do so. But do it ''first''. Creating a redirect and changing articles which currently use a direct interwiki link to point to that redirect merely adds a needless level of indirection for readers, and so decreases the quality of those articles. That is why your change was reverted. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 19:39, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> By the way, I suggested a few solutions for such situations. It's [[Forum:Forum:&quot;No article&quot; template|&quot;no article&quot; template]] for red links that are unlikely to become articles in near future, but might as well in far perspective; and [[Template talk:Furry potential|Furry potential template]] for articles that can be expanded with furry-related information.

[[User:EvilCat|EvilCat]] 20:05, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> * (sorry for my delay in responding) <br /> : The point here isn't really to do with Steampunk, it's the much broader point to do with &quot;encyclopedia scope&quot; as it applies to WikiFur.<br /> : There are a number of articles that are far from &quot;Fur specific&quot;, are described elsewhere, and are of peripheral relevance to Fur. Should these be included here, or should off-Fur links and redirects be used to take readers towards them? Examples would be [[Trekker]], [[Steampunk]] and [[overlocker]] (a specialised sewing machine, most useful for sewing jersey fur fabrics when costuming). None of these are Fur-specific, they're all described outside on other sites, `1but they're all legitimate terms that need to appear in any complete discussion of Fur. Costumed lifestyle fandom can't explain its history without Trek, [[LARP]] or [[cosplay]]. When these terms are used on WikiFur, they need to be easy bluelinks - anything else is letting down the reader.<br /> : Now I don't care how it's to be done - this isn't my party, I have no intention to start telling others how to run their scene. However WikiFur ought to decide what's best, links outside to existing articles (usually Wikipedia, or else some TrekWikia / CosplayWikia / SewingWikia), content hosted here within WikiFur (after all, Wikipedia content is reusable by a simple import). What's bad though is to either leave these as unlinks or redlinks (hard on the reader) or to have to continually use pseudo-namespaces, like the convoluted &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[:wikipedia:Steampunk|steampunk]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; that was in [[Grandville]] (hard on content editors). Both of these suck and have easy technical fixes.<br /> : Should automatic and invisible off-WikiFur redirects be allowed? Maybe not - that's a judgement for the WikiFur community to make. However that's what's currently there on Grandville. Should these links be &quot;trapped&quot; and warned? Maybe - so create the centralised [[Steampunk]] page here on WikiFur and use a template to wrap the off-site link up in a box. It's WikiFur's call as to which is most appropriate for the community, but neither redlinks nor hard-coded links, as at present, are the best way to do this. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] 08:49, 19 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> * [[Steampunk]] and [[Steamfurry]]<br /> : I came here to write a [[Steamfurry]] article, on the cross-over between the two scenes. It's highly relevant to WikiFur. It has been around in mass-media for decades, since &quot;[[:wikipedia:Around the World with Willy Fog|Around the World with Willy Fog]]&quot; (Around the World in 80 Days, with cartoon anthros). Now it's perhaps best known through [[Grandville]]. There's a very small, but noticeable, steamfurry scene within some steampunk groups (lots of avians, for some reason). There's also a vociferous anti-Fur campaign within UK steampunk that deserves mention.<br /> : As to whether a [[steampunk|steam''punk'']] article is needed here, then see above. It's a peripheral background, no-one is claiming it's part of Fur, but that's still (see above) something that warrants mention on the site, ''because readers will be clicking to try and read it for the background''.

If you prefer to have it removed, can I ask if you still have access to any of the old accounts that were listed in the article (LiveJournal, Fur Affinity, etc)?

I did in fact check out the DVD link from that edit and did not see any clear indication that the person portrayed was Manawolf; it's possible but beyond them having the same first name (Sarah) I couldn't find anything on the site to make that connection. Even the word 'furry' in the DVD title appears to refer to the actress having never shaved rather than as any sort of reference to the fandom.<br /> <br /> Even if it is Manawolf I doubt this belongs on Wikifur. The DVD cover is inappropriate regardless, and the fact that someone appeared in an adult video is in my opinion controversial information that needs good references and needs a good reason to be publicized here.<br /> <br /> My only concern is whether giving Priest22 an infinite ban is appropriate in case it turns out that really is Manawolf in the DVD. If it's not her, then yes. If it is her, we should assume good faith and treat it as a case trying to post controversial/derogatory information. And if we don't know, well... I'm not sure. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Stamping out vandalism ==<br /> First, thank you for reverting the vandalism made to one of my articles from an unregistered IP.

I'm also online an insane amount of the time.

Thanks! --[[User:CodyDenton|CodyDenton]] 08:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Hi, Cody. There's no formal process for joining those who patrol the recent edits reverting vandalism.

A few more questions, if I may? First, I noticed that you added [[Template:ContributorU]] to my friend [[User:Mishi|Mishi's]] user page. I almost had done that a few hours ago myself, but backed out of it since I wasn't sure that a general (non-admin) editor was permitted to edit another User: page. (Ref. [[User Talk:Spirou]]) So for instance, in this case, would it have been OK to add the ContributorU, particularly since Mishi and I are friends and work collaboratively? Or is it best to just avoid the User: page minefield? ;-) Also, with regard to the content spammer earlier that you blocked, I had just blanked the page and put an edit comment as to why. Would it have been better to use a Speedy Deletion tag instead? Thanks for your patient help. --[[User:CodyDenton|CodyDenton]] 11:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Thank You ==<br /> <br /> Thank you for moving those pages, I was unaware of the importance of that moving, instead of C/P. --[[User:LokiWuff|LokiWuff]] 21:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Thanks for the edits!==<br /> Howdy again Higgs, thanks for the edits on [[Rehgan|Rehgan's]] page.

So I added a simple statement of fact about the bans with the references cited, and that's been reverted as well. At the risk of sounding clueless, is this an instance where the subject of the article should override other editors? Myself, I think that being banned from SL and from F-List, the latter with some amount of comment and so forth, would be justifiably included in the article, but I am not an experienced editor by any means; if this is an example of where I should just leave well enough alone, please let me know for my future guidance?

It was deleted years ago, quite reasonably, because there was a bigger and possibly better article at [[:wikipedia:Steampunk]]. However this &quot;manual redirect&quot; was never coded so that links can then work properly. Articles that referred to it, such as [[Grandville]], then had to hard-code the redirect on each article. This is just poor use of MediaWiki.<br /> <br /> You deleted the redirect on the grounds that off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice. This is simply untrue: it's what's implied by the deletion comment for the old Steampunk article and, more obviously, it's what you did yourself when you re-added the redirect in Grandville. Using a redirect page is simply good practice for MediaWiki - it centralises the redirect so that ''all'' WikiFur links to steampunk go through one clear article on it. This can be either local or, as here, a remote article at Wikipedia.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on links that redirect to Wikipedia, then that should be removed from Grandville.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on off-wiki redirects other than those to Wikipedia (using Wikipedia as a back-end for common terms is well-established practice on many, of not most, wikis) then that ban needs to be clarified. As it is, many terms and not just Steampunk are using redirected links like this. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] 17:42, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :No, I did '''not''' remove your edit to Steampunk because (in your words) &quot;off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice&quot;. I removed it because there was nothing else in the article '''but''' the redirect, and that is just not how things are done here. If you feel there is a poor use of WikiMedia you are welcome to take it up with GreenReaper.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:52, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :: So why is there now ''no content at all'' under [[Steampunk]]? If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place. <br /> :: Or is steampunk just one of those topics that isn't to be talked about at WikiFur?<br /> :: The sad thing is that I'm only here because I've been dragged into a political bunfight within the UK steampunk community about the appropriateness of Fur. There is a widely held view that there ''isn't'' any place for it, a view I see as narrow-minded on the part of those steampunks. When pushed, they defend this on the basis of &quot;You don't want to get involved with those Furries, they'll turn and bite you&quot; (not a view I've ever held). Yet moments after I turn up and start trying to expand Steamfurry coverage here, I do indeed find that they're pounced on and reverted, and the steampunk article blanked entirely! Do I have to admit I was wrong here and that it's not the ''Steampunks'' who have a problem with Fur, it's the Furries who have the problem with Steampunk?!

If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place.''<br /> :::There is currently no content at [[Steampunk]] because (...looks at deleted content...) the original article there was not deemed appropriate for WikiFur. It was a nice potted description of Steampunk but &quot;furry&quot; was not even mentioned. Hence it was not considered relevant for WikiFur, especially since nothing was said that Wikipedia did not already cover more fully.<br /> :::That deletion was in 2006. That was a while ago, so if, since then, there has been more overlap between the two fandoms, then it ''may'' be appropriate to have a Steampunk article on WikiFur.

The article which once existed on the topic did not contain any such material, and so it was deleted. If you would like to create an article detailing the influence of steampunk on furry fandom (or vice versa), you are welcome to do so. But do it ''first''.

Should these be included here, or should off-Fur links and redirects be used to take readers towards them? Examples would be [[Trekker]], [[Steampunk]] and [[overlocker]] (a specialised sewing machine, most useful for sewing jersey fur fabrics when costuming). None of these are Fur-specific, they're all described outside on other sites, `1but they're all legitimate terms that need to appear in any complete discussion of Fur. Costumed lifestyle fandom can't explain its history without Trek, [[LARP]] or [[cosplay]]. When these terms are used on WikiFur, they need to be easy bluelinks - anything else is letting down the reader.<br /> : Now I don't care how it's to be done - this isn't my party, I have no intention to start telling others how to run their scene. However WikiFur ought to decide what's best, links outside to existing articles (usually Wikipedia, or else some TrekWikia / CosplayWikia / SewingWikia), content hosted here within WikiFur (after all, Wikipedia content is reusable by a simple import). What's bad though is to either leave these as unlinks or redlinks (hard on the reader) or to have to continually use pseudo-namespaces, like the convoluted &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[:wikipedia:Steampunk|steampunk]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; that was in [[Grandville]] (hard on content editors). Both of these suck and have easy technical fixes.<br /> : Should automatic and invisible off-WikiFur redirects be allowed? Maybe not - that's a judgement for the WikiFur community to make. However that's what's currently there on Grandville. Should these links be &quot;trapped&quot; and warned? Maybe - so create the centralised [[Steampunk]] page here on WikiFur and use a template to wrap the off-site link up in a box. It's WikiFur's call as to which is most appropriate for the community, but neither redlinks nor hard-coded links, as at present, are the best way to do this.

Now it's perhaps best known through [[Grandville]]. There's a very small, but noticeable, steamfurry scene within some steampunk groups (lots of avians, for some reason). There's also a vociferous anti-Fur campaign within UK steampunk that deserves mention.<br /> : As to whether a [[steampunk|steam''punk'']] article is needed here, then see above. It's a peripheral background, no-one is claiming it's part of Fur, but that's still (see above) something that warrants mention on the site, ''because readers will be clicking to try and read it for the background''.

I did in fact check out the DVD link from that edit and did not see any clear indication that the person portrayed was Manawolf; it's possible but beyond them having the same first name (Sarah) I couldn't find anything on the site to make that connection. Even the word 'furry' in the DVD title appears to refer to the actress having never shaved rather than as any sort of reference to the fandom.<br /> <br /> Even if it is Manawolf I doubt this belongs on Wikifur. The DVD cover is inappropriate regardless, and the fact that someone appeared in an adult video is in my opinion controversial information that needs good references and needs a good reason to be publicized here.<br /> <br /> My only concern is whether giving Priest22 an infinite ban is appropriate in case it turns out that really is Manawolf in the DVD. If it's not her, then yes. If it is her, we should assume good faith and treat it as a case trying to post controversial/derogatory information. And if we don't know, well... I'm not sure. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Stamping out vandalism ==<br /> First, thank you for reverting the vandalism made to one of my articles from an unregistered IP. Though I monitor these articles, you caught it even before I did. Which brings me to a question... right now I'm new to WikiFur, but I support the concept and ideals. I'm also online an insane amount of the time. If I were to want to join the edit patrol at some point in the future, is there a &quot;formal&quot; application process (as there is for wiki admins), or can one just jump in and help? Thanks! --[[User:CodyDenton|CodyDenton]] 08:28, 11 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Hi, Cody. There's no formal process for joining those who patrol the recent edits reverting vandalism. This being a wiki, anyone can edit anything, so if you have the time to spare to occasionally glance at the recent changes list, and feel like reverting any vandal edits, then... go for it! I'm sure everyone here would welcome any effort you can put in to keeping things tidy!--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Hi Higgs, thanks for the info. A few more questions, if I may? First, I noticed that you added [[Template:ContributorU]] to my friend [[User:Mishi|Mishi's]] user page. I almost had done that a few hours ago myself, but backed out of it since I wasn't sure that a general (non-admin) editor was permitted to edit another User: page. (Ref. [[User Talk:Spirou]]) So for instance, in this case, would it have been OK to add the ContributorU, particularly since Mishi and I are friends and work collaboratively? Or is it best to just avoid the User: page minefield? ;-) Also, with regard to the content spammer earlier that you blocked, I had just blanked the page and put an edit comment as to why. Would it have been better to use a Speedy Deletion tag instead? Thanks for your patient help. --[[User:CodyDenton|CodyDenton]] 11:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Thank You ==<br /> <br /> Thank you for moving those pages, I was unaware of the importance of that moving, instead of C/P. --[[User:LokiWuff|LokiWuff]] 21:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Thanks for the edits!==<br /> Howdy again Higgs, thanks for the edits on [[Rehgan|Rehgan's]] page.

Having moved the article, I copied over the text from your last edit on Foxmajik (made 16 October 2010, at 20:01) so &lt;b&gt;nothing was lost&lt;/b&gt;. <br /> :Also, conversations should go on User Talk pages (like this one), not Article Talk pages (like [[Talk:Higgs Raccoon]] where you originally posted this).

So I added a simple statement of fact about the bans with the references cited, and that's been reverted as well. At the risk of sounding clueless, is this an instance where the subject of the article should override other editors? Myself, I think that being banned from SL and from F-List, the latter with some amount of comment and so forth, would be justifiably included in the article, but I am not an experienced editor by any means; if this is an example of where I should just leave well enough alone, please let me know for my future guidance?

It was deleted years ago, quite reasonably, because there was a bigger and possibly better article at [[:wikipedia:Steampunk]]. However this &quot;manual redirect&quot; was never coded so that links can then work properly. Articles that referred to it, such as [[Grandville]], then had to hard-code the redirect on each article. This is just poor use of MediaWiki.<br /> <br /> You deleted the redirect on the grounds that off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice. This is simply untrue: it's what's implied by the deletion comment for the old Steampunk article and, more obviously, it's what you did yourself when you re-added the redirect in Grandville. Using a redirect page is simply good practice for MediaWiki - it centralises the redirect so that ''all'' WikiFur links to steampunk go through one clear article on it. This can be either local or, as here, a remote article at Wikipedia.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on links that redirect to Wikipedia, then that should be removed from Grandville.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on off-wiki redirects other than those to Wikipedia (using Wikipedia as a back-end for common terms is well-established practice on many, of not most, wikis) then that ban needs to be clarified. As it is, many terms and not just Steampunk are using redirected links like this. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] 17:42, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :No, I did '''not''' remove your edit to Steampunk because (in your words) &quot;off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice&quot;. I removed it because there was nothing else in the article '''but''' the redirect, and that is just not how things are done here. If you feel there is a poor use of WikiMedia you are welcome to take it up with GreenReaper.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:52, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :: So why is there now ''no content at all'' under [[Steampunk]]? If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place. <br /> :: Or is steampunk just one of those topics that isn't to be talked about at WikiFur?<br /> :: The sad thing is that I'm only here because I've been dragged into a political bunfight within the UK steampunk community about the appropriateness of Fur. There is a widely held view that there ''isn't'' any place for it, a view I see as narrow-minded on the part of those steampunks. When pushed, they defend this on the basis of &quot;You don't want to get involved with those Furries, they'll turn and bite you&quot; (not a view I've ever held). Yet moments after I turn up and start trying to expand Steamfurry coverage here, I do indeed find that they're pounced on and reverted, and the steampunk article blanked entirely! Do I have to admit I was wrong here and that it's not the ''Steampunks'' who have a problem with Fur, it's the Furries who have the problem with Steampunk?!

In such situations - to avoid useless duplication of effort - we instead link directly to Wikipedia, and require that any article created be restricted to matters which relate directly to furry fandom. The article which once existed on the topic did not contain any such material, and so it was deleted. If you would like to create an article detailing the influence of steampunk on furry fandom (or vice versa), you are welcome to do so. But do it ''first''. Creating a redirect and changing articles which currently use a direct interwiki link to point to that redirect merely adds a needless level of indirection for readers, and so decreases the quality of those articles.

I did in fact check out the DVD link from that edit and did not see any clear indication that the person portrayed was Manawolf; it's possible but beyond them having the same first name (Sarah) I couldn't find anything on the site to make that connection. Even the word 'furry' in the DVD title appears to refer to the actress having never shaved rather than as any sort of reference to the fandom.<br /> <br /> Even if it is Manawolf I doubt this belongs on Wikifur. The DVD cover is inappropriate regardless, and the fact that someone appeared in an adult video is in my opinion controversial information that needs good references and needs a good reason to be publicized here.<br /> <br /> My only concern is whether giving Priest22 an infinite ban is appropriate in case it turns out that really is Manawolf in the DVD. If it's not her, then yes. If it is her, we should assume good faith and treat it as a case trying to post controversial/derogatory information. And if we don't know, well... I'm not sure. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Stamping out vandalism ==<br /> First, thank you for reverting the vandalism made to one of my articles from an unregistered IP.

A few more questions, if I may? First, I noticed that you added [[Template:ContributorU]] to my friend [[User:Mishi|Mishi's]] user page. I almost had done that a few hours ago myself, but backed out of it since I wasn't sure that a general (non-admin) editor was permitted to edit another User: page. (Ref. [[User Talk:Spirou]]) So for instance, in this case, would it have been OK to add the ContributorU, particularly since Mishi and I are friends and work collaboratively? Or is it best to just avoid the User: page minefield? ;-) Also, with regard to the content spammer earlier that you blocked, I had just blanked the page and put an edit comment as to why. Would it have been better to use a Speedy Deletion tag instead? Thanks for your patient help. --[[User:CodyDenton|CodyDenton]] 11:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Thank You ==<br /> <br /> Thank you for moving those pages, I was unaware of the importance of that moving, instead of C/P. --[[User:LokiWuff|LokiWuff]] 21:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Thanks for the edits!==<br /> Howdy again Higgs, thanks for the edits on [[Rehgan|Rehgan's]] page.

So I added a simple statement of fact about the bans with the references cited, and that's been reverted as well. At the risk of sounding clueless, is this an instance where the subject of the article should override other editors? Myself, I think that being banned from SL and from F-List, the latter with some amount of comment and so forth, would be justifiably included in the article, but I am not an experienced editor by any means; if this is an example of where I should just leave well enough alone, please let me know for my future guidance?

It was deleted years ago, quite reasonably, because there was a bigger and possibly better article at [[:wikipedia:Steampunk]]. However this &quot;manual redirect&quot; was never coded so that links can then work properly. Articles that referred to it, such as [[Grandville]], then had to hard-code the redirect on each article. This is just poor use of MediaWiki.<br /> <br /> You deleted the redirect on the grounds that off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice. This is simply untrue: it's what's implied by the deletion comment for the old Steampunk article and, more obviously, it's what you did yourself when you re-added the redirect in Grandville. Using a redirect page is simply good practice for MediaWiki - it centralises the redirect so that ''all'' WikiFur links to steampunk go through one clear article on it. This can be either local or, as here, a remote article at Wikipedia.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on links that redirect to Wikipedia, then that should be removed from Grandville.<br /> <br /> If there's a ban on off-wiki redirects other than those to Wikipedia (using Wikipedia as a back-end for common terms is well-established practice on many, of not most, wikis) then that ban needs to be clarified. As it is, many terms and not just Steampunk are using redirected links like this. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] 17:42, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :No, I did '''not''' remove your edit to Steampunk because (in your words) &quot;off-wiki redirects were against Wikifur practice&quot;. I removed it because there was nothing else in the article '''but''' the redirect, and that is just not how things are done here. If you feel there is a poor use of WikiMedia you are welcome to take it up with GreenReaper.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 17:52, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :: So why is there now ''no content at all'' under [[Steampunk]]? If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place. <br /> :: Or is steampunk just one of those topics that isn't to be talked about at WikiFur?<br /> :: The sad thing is that I'm only here because I've been dragged into a political bunfight within the UK steampunk community about the appropriateness of Fur. There is a widely held view that there ''isn't'' any place for it, a view I see as narrow-minded on the part of those steampunks. When pushed, they defend this on the basis of &quot;You don't want to get involved with those Furries, they'll turn and bite you&quot; (not a view I've ever held). Yet moments after I turn up and start trying to expand Steamfurry coverage here, I do indeed find that they're pounced on and reverted, and the steampunk article blanked entirely! Do I have to admit I was wrong here and that it's not the ''Steampunks'' who have a problem with Fur, it's the Furries who have the problem with Steampunk?!

If off-WikiFur redirects are a problem, then the article shouldn't have been deleted in the first place.''<br /> :::There is currently no content at [[Steampunk]] because (...looks at deleted content...) the original article there was not deemed appropriate for WikiFur. It was a nice potted description of Steampunk but &quot;furry&quot; was not even mentioned. Hence it was not considered relevant for WikiFur, especially since nothing was said that Wikipedia did not already cover more fully.<br /> :::That deletion was in 2006. That was a while ago, so if, since then, there has been more overlap between the two fandoms, then it ''may'' be appropriate to have a Steampunk article on WikiFur. But it would need to be written in such a way that makes it relevant. (ie detailing the crossover between the two genres and emphasising the &quot;steamfur&quot; aspects not covered in other wikis.)--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 18:43, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :::I don't think we have any &quot;problem&quot; with steampunk. However, the topic also has no clear relevance to furry fandom, and Wikipedia has a quite adequate article on the topic. In such situations - to avoid useless duplication of effort - we instead link directly to Wikipedia, and require that any article created be restricted to matters which relate directly to furry fandom. The article which once existed on the topic did not contain any such material, and so it was deleted. If you would like to create an article detailing the influence of steampunk on furry fandom (or vice versa), you are welcome to do so. But do it ''first''. Creating a redirect and changing articles which currently use a direct interwiki link to point to that redirect merely adds a needless level of indirection for readers, and so decreases the quality of those articles. That is why your change was reverted. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 19:39, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> By the way, I suggested a few solutions for such situations. It's [[Forum:Forum:&quot;No article&quot; template|&quot;no article&quot; template]] for red links that are unlikely to become articles in near future, but might as well in far perspective; and [[Template talk:Furry potential|Furry potential template]] for articles that can be expanded with furry-related information.

[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] 19:54, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> :[[Wikipedia:Steampunk|Wikipedia's article on the topic]] is an excellent answer to the first part of that, which is why we link to it. As for the second, well, that's the question, isn't it? :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]&lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])&lt;/sup&gt; 19:56, 16 May 2011 (EDT)<br /> :I think I know two steampunk settings that have furry races.

He is a young [[fox]] with two tails (similar to the mythological [[kitsune]]), which enable him to fly by spinning them in a helicopter-like motion. According to Sega Japan's Web site [http://sonic.sega.jp/chara/chara_tails.html], he is &lt;!-- NOTE TO EDITORS: do not change his age, he is 8! --&gt; 8 years old, stands at 80 centimeters (approx. 2 ft 7.5 in), and weighs 20 kilograms (44 lbs). His birthday is most likely October 16, the release date of his 1992 debut to the Master System and Game Gear version of ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', although most players' introduction to the character was in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''. <br /> <br /> During his first appearance his fur was an orange color, but changed to yellow-orange for ''Sonic Adventure'', and light-yellow for ''Sonic Heroes''. In 1995 he starred in his own games, ''Tails Adventure'' and ''Tails' Skypatrol'' for the Game Gear.<br /> <br /> == Character design ==<br /> [[File:Tailsoriginal2dart.jpeg|right|thumb|Original 2D concept art|250px]]<br /> [[Yasushi Yamaguchi]], originally the main artist and zone designer for [[Sega]]'s Sonic Team, designed Tails for an internal competition for the sidekick. His entry won, but Sonic Team decided to change his character's name from &quot;Miles&quot; to &quot;Tails&quot;. <br /> <br /> Yamaguchi ended up with a compromise. He snuck the name &quot;Miles&quot; in as his legal name; &quot;Tails&quot; would be his nickname, ending up with the full name of Miles &quot;Tails&quot; Prower. <br /> <br /> Tails was redesigned (along with all of the other [[Wikipedia:List of characters from Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic characters]]) by Yuji Uekawa for ''Sonic Adventure''. His fur changed color to a slightly orange shade of yellow, and he gained visible blue irises.<br /> <br /> In the American and UK comics, he was once a brownish color. After the redesign by Sega, Archie decided to make him look more like the game image.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Tails was very shy when he first met [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], but gradually opened up and became Sonic's best friend. In ''Sonic Adventure'', Tails proved his independence by saving Station Square from [[Dr. Eggman]] without Sonic's help. He now has many different creations and his intelligence matches Eggman's. He does have a few weaknesses though; he is very afraid of lightning and has a tendency to talk too much, stating the obvious most of the time. In the Archie Comics, the other [[Freedom Fighters]] take care of the fox, him being too young to do much. However, over time, he grows up to become a valuable team member. Tails also creates their first battleship, the X-Tornado.<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> [[File:Tails3D.png|right]]<br /> ===As a sidekick===<br /> <br /> The Japanese and Western manuals differ somewhat in the story of how the two first met.<br /> <br /> In the Japanese manual, Tails lived on Westside Island, which Sonic arrived at shortly after the first game in his biplane, the Tornado. Sonic instantly became Tails' idol when the young fox first witnessed the blue hedgehog's incredible speed. After Sonic saw that Tails was actually able to catch up with him, he decided to let him tag along (this scene can be witnessed in ''Sonic Adventure'' in a flashback during Tails' story). Being a mechanics buff, Tails took the time to look over Sonic's plane when he had gone away. However, around the same time, [[Dr. Eggman|Dr. Eggman (Dr. Robotnik)]] began demonstrating the power of his spacestation, the Death Egg. Tails was more than willing to help stop Eggman, effectively teaming up with Sonic. The added details about his mechanical abilities explain why Tails was so quick with repairs during Wing Fortress Zone, and have since been referenced in later titles such as ''Sonic Adventure'' where he made a much faster, more well equipped plane, the Tornado II, to replace the old one. <br /> <br /> According to the Western manual, Sonic had been Tails' hero ever since he was a baby fox. After following his hero relentlessly for a long time, Tails became fast enough to keep up with Sonic by spinning his twin tails in a propeller-like style, which gave the fox the ability of flight. Eventually, Sonic and Tails became best friends.<br /> <br /> ===With other ''Sonic'' characters===<br /> Tails has many friends besides Sonic, and his skills are respected by everyone who knows him. In ''Sonic Heroes'' he is part of Team Sonic, along with Sonic and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]]. Tails mostly treats and respects all his friends the same with a humble and somewhat passive attitude. <br /> <br /> For the most part, he has a friendly relationship with [[Amy Rose]]. Amy can be quite rude and outspoken to Tails, like she is to everyone else, but they can work together productively and sometimes Amy is defensive of him; for example, by getting mad at Wave for laughing at him. Tails is also friendly with Knuckles. They converse more than Knuckles does with Sonic, although they do tend to irritate each other occasionally - Knuckles scares Tails in ''Sonic Heroes'' during the ghost levels, while Knuckles gets confused when Tails talks about technicalities in ''Sonic Riders''. Tails is also on friendly terms with Cream and Cheese, but doesn't seem to know them very well. <br /> <br /> Tails doesn't know [[Rouge the Bat]] very well either. However, he is intelligent enough to see past her charm - in ''Sonic Battle''; for example, he treats her motives with suspicion and doesn't trust her. However, it is interesting to note that Tails has been kissed by Rouge on two different occasions, once in ''Sonic Battle'' (this can be viewed by losing in the fight where Rouge challenges the player for her Entry pass) and once in the ''Sonic X'' cartoon (during the Chaos Tournament, she kissed him to distract him while she tossed the love struck Tails out of the ring). Tails works with [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] in ''Shadow the Hedgehog'' and seems to trust him more than anyone but Rouge and Omega. Though, unfortunately, Sonic sees Shadow as a rival, so Tails is usually dragged into their fight whether he likes it or not.<br /> <br /> Tails probably sees the Chaotix Crew (Vecter, Charmy and Espio) as friends, although throughout the game series he has never had any dialogue with them. In ''Sonic X'' however, the crew decides to help him get involved with Cosmo, a girl that Tails likes. They try everything from knocking Knuckles out and trying to pass him off as a Metarex for Tails to defend the girl from, to just running up and placing them together, but nothing seems to work. Vector finally succeeds in making them closer by kicking a ball which bounces towards Cosmo, causing Tails to jump onto Cosmo to get her out of the way.<br /> <br /> In ''Sonic Adventure 2'', he had a short rivalry with Eggman, fighting him directly in the Cyclone twice - once on Prison Island, the second time when Eggman blasted Sonic into space. After this however, the rivalry seems to have ceased. Tails also found a rival in [[Babylon Rogues|Wave the Swallow]] in ''Sonic Riders''. In the game, she insulted his extreme gear skills to lower his morale, but her action caused a determined Tails to beat her in a race. <br /> <br /> As for love life, Tails is generally considered too young for crushes, although in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog comics'' by Archie Comics and the TV series ''Sonic X'' by TMS Entertainment/Sonic Project, Tails has a few love interests. In ''Sonic X'', Tails falls in love with [[Wikipedia:Cosmo (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Cosmo]] &amp;ndash; a talking plant-alien-girl (a Seedrian, specifically) although the love doesn't seem to be love in a traditional sense &amp;ndash; the two act as if in a very close friendship, though it's obvious they harbour feelings for each other. Tails is forced to kill her in the end because of the Metarex.<br /> <br /> In the comics, Tails develops affections for [[Wikipedia:Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)#Fiona Fox|Fiona Fox]], a dashing red one-tailed female fox with mechanical skills similar to Tails'. In Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog issue #28 Robotnik uses a robotic version of Fiona Fox in an attempt to capture Tails (this occurs when he is much younger) - Sonic later remarks in the 'Home' series of the comic during a 'welcome back' party that Tails should be careful not to get his heart broken again. Ironically, when the biological Fiona shows up, it's Sonic who breaks Tails heart when Tails catches Sonic embracing and kissing her. During the early Tails/Downunda miniseries, Tails also has a very big crush on Barby Koala. She also likes him, although the two are forced to depart when Tails has to go back to Knothole.<br /> <br /> In the ''25 Years Later'' Archie storyline, which the Archie editors have stated is not the definite canon future, Tails is married to [[Mina Mongoose]]. (Note that this clearly is not canon to the master plot, as ''[[Wikipedia:Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)#Ash Mongoose|Ash]]'' is supposed to be Mina's boyfriend.)<br /> <br /> ===Family===<br /> Like most of the characters, Tails is often depicted without any known family. However, in the [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic)|Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics]], he does have a few relatives:<br /> <br /> *[[Wikipedia:Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)#Amadeus Prower|Amadeus Prower]] (father)<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)#Rosemary Prower|Rosemary Prower]] (mother)<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)#Merlin Prower|Merlin Prower]] (uncle)<br /> <br /> There are rumors that he was orphaned at birth for unknown reasons. He has been living on the streets every day of his life, barely able to survive. The other kids picked on him because of his two tails and pushed him around because of his shyness.<br /> <br /> ===Alternate selves===<br /> In the Archie Comics, Tails has a variety of other-dimensional counterparts. Among these are a superhero Tails, teamed up with a group of Freedom Fighters descended from the originals who are styled after the Justice League. There is also [[Wikipedia:Anti-Freedom Fighters|Anti-Tails]] (who prefers his given name of Miles), an evil version from the same dimension as [[Wikipedia:Anti-Freedom Fighters|Evil Sonic]] and [[Knuckles the Echidna#Alternate Versions|Anti-Knuckles]]. There are also many other forms of Tails who appear at one point to aid the fox in his battle with Mammoth Mogul. [[Tails Doll]] could also be seen as an alternative Tails, from the game Sonic R.<br /> <br /> == Tails' mechanical creations ==<br /> <br /> Although Tails can fly by twirling his two tails like the blades of a helicopter, he also enjoys flying Sonic's red biplane, the Tornado. As the TV series progressed, it was obvious his interest in the old biplane went further than just piloting it - Tails is a prodigy with mechanics, and he has a mechanical ability equal to that of [[Dr. Eggman|Dr. Eggman's]]. As a result, many modifications were made to the Tornado, as well as new biplanes and a small, blue submarine called the &quot;Sea Fox&quot;, a space ship called the &quot;Lunar Fox&quot;, and a race car called the &quot;Whirlwind S7.&quot; The &quot;Whirlwind S7&quot; is a vehicle clearly based upon the Lotus/Catherham Super Seven (hence the name). <br /> <br /> In the ''Sonic the Hedgehog Movie'' (also known as [[Wikipedia:Sonic Anime|Sonic Anime]] or Sonic Look-a-Like) Tails tampers with a tracking device given to him by Eggman to find the location of Robotropolis and the whereabouts of 'Black-Eggman'. After the escapade turns out to be a trick, Tails uses his quick thinking to modify the device back at his home (an island similar to Cocoa-Island) and uses the chipset to make an interference device which somehow causes Metal Sonic to malfunction. The device is later shot off of Tails' arm by Eggman, narrowly missing his arm. <br /> <br /> In ''Sonic Adventure'', Tails was experimenting with a Chaos Emerald-powered prototype plane based on Sonic's Tornado, the Tornado II. The Tornado II has two modes. One is quite similar to the old Tornado, but with a button press, Tails could make it transform into a rather futuristic-looking little plane which outperformed the Tornado in all but one important function -- landing gear. [[Big the Cat]] ended up flying the wrecked Tornado II to his home after Sonic and Tails crash-landed on Eggman's flying fortress, the Egg Carrier. <br /> <br /> In ''Sonic Adventure 2'', Tails had a new plane similar to the Tornado II called the P-3a Cyclone (or the Tornado III in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''). The Cyclone has three modes: a plane mode, a car mode, and a mech mode. The airplane is only seen in cutscenes; the car is used on only one level (In the Kart minigame, Tails uses a go-kart); the mech mode is used most during the game. Tails drives the mech during all other gameplay, except when visiting the [[Wikipedia:Chao (video game)|Chao Garden]]. For some reason, in ''[[]]Sonic Heroes'', the Tornado III/Cyclone appears in a cutscene. It has the same body as the Tornado III, but with a cross-wing design and leaves smoke trails. In ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'', the Tornado III reappeared as its ''Sonic Adventure 2'' version. Tails also built two other walkers in Sonic Adventure 2. One was the Tornado in walker mode (Apparently a recent upgrade of some sort), and the other was the Chao Walker, which was designed by Tails to give Chao the ability to fight back when hurt. Eggman created the Dark Chao Walker as its parallel. Both mechs are only playable in vs. mode.<br /> <br /> Sonic X features a much improved model of the Tornado, and it is more high tech than the one in the games. Known as the X Tornado, two of these models exist, one yellow, and one silver. These machines are equipped with weaponry, and can transform into robots known as the X Cyclones : one a ground-based plane with legs (inspired by the Gerwalk Mode of the Valkyries rom ''Macross''), the other a flying torso. Sonic X also features the Hyper Tornado, a superior version of Tails' biplane. Finally, Tails' greatest achievement is the Blue Typhoon warship. This vessel is equipped for deep space travel, and is equipped with a wide arsenal, the most powerful weapon in which is the Sonic Driver. This giant cannon uses Sonic as a living cannonball, creating a much-improved version of his super spin. The Blue Typhoon is powered by the Master Emerald. Despite the fact that Tails reconstructed the X Tornado from Tornado II, the Tornado II made a reappearance in episode 52 of Sonic X. It isn't explained how but this cannot be possible. Also, Sonic Project perhaps had made a mistake and did not think before doing this. Also, it is unexplained how Tails built the huge Blue Typhoon - in the games, it is important to note that Tails doesn't seem to be able to construct designs like this.<br /> <br /> The original Tornado that appears in the Sonic series resembles the Polikarpov I-153 Chaika, a Soviet biplane from World War II; the I-153's engine is a Wright &quot;Cyclone&quot;.<br /> <br /> == Moves and abilities ==<br /> Like many of the other characters in the Sonic universe, Tails has super speed (but not as fast as Sonic) can do the Sonic Spin, the Spin Dash, the homing attack, as well as doing his own attacks, such as attacking with his tails by twirling around. In ''Sonic Adventure'', he obtained the Rhythm Badge, which enabled him to do a continuous tail attack. In Sonic Adventure 2, he gained the ability to use the mystic melody, which caused something to happen when played in front of a certain kind of strange object. In ''Sonic Heroes'', he is the Flight member of Team Sonic, which means that he can also use the Thunder Shoot attack, whereby he electrically charges Sonic and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] and kicks them at his enemies. When alone, Tails can also throw fake rings, which electrocute enemies who blunder into them. He can also swim quite well, which is an ability Sonic never had. This, when combined with his flying ability, actually makes him quite an unfairly skilled character in some games.<br /> <br /> Tails plays major roles in almost all Sonic games released since his debut in ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2''. However, it's likely that in the unreleased ''Sonic X-treme'', which was in development for the Sega Saturn platform, Tails would not have appeared. In similar fashion, ''Sonic CD'' only contains Tails in the form of a piece of artwork that features him standing next to a racecar with the caption &quot;SEE YOU NEXT GAME&quot; - a reference to ''Sonic Drift'' for the Game Gear.<br /> <br /> Aside from his excellent mechanics and driving/piloting, Tails is great at sports, like grinding and boarding, which he learned (possibly) from Sonic.<br /> <br /> ===Alternate Forms===<br /> See also: [[Super Sonic]], [[Shadow the Hedgehog#Super Shadow|Super Shadow]], [[Knuckles the Echidna#Transformations|Super Knuckles]]<br /> <br /> Like Sonic, Tails can transform into a super form, called &quot;Super Tails&quot;, but so far this has only been seen in Sonic 3 &amp; Knuckles. He is bright gold, with four gold [[Wikipedia:Flicky (bird)|Flickies]] around him which can attack enemies. He needs the 7 Super Emeralds to transform.<br /> <br /> The Archie Comics feature a wider range of transformations. In the continuity, Tails can still become the traditional Super Tails, but his coloring does not change and he achieved this through absorbing an unknown multitude of Power Rings. However, Tails' main transformation is into Turbo Tails. In this version, his fur changes from orange to brown (or brown to orange depending on the colorists of the comic issue), and he wears a cape and gloves reminiscent of a super hero. Finally, Tails' ultimate transformation, the strongest and least likely to appear again, is Titan Tails. In this incarnation, Tails merged with countless versions of himself from alternate dimensions to battle Mammoth Mogul. The result was a giant, muscular Tails with cosmic abilities.<br /> <br /> He also was part of &quot;Team Super Sonic&quot; in the climactic fight against [[Metal Sonic]] in Sonic Heroes, however many fans are disheartened by the lack of any appearance of &quot;Super Tails&quot;. The only form of transformation which Tails undergoes it to be encircled by a shield (which looks much like the fire shields found in Sonic 3 &amp; Knuckles.<br /> <br /> Tails has not been shown to transform in any of the cartoons. Sonic Project, the team behind ''Sonic X'', apparently wanted the power of Chaos Control to stay limited to those of &quot;greater&quot; importance (a.k.a., Sonic and Shadow).<br /> <br /> == Video game appearances ==<br /> Tails was first seen on ''Sonic 2'' for the Master System, where he was kidnapped by Robotnik for ransom. He was first made playable in ''Sonic 2'' for the Megadrive (Genesis), where he played the part of Sonic's sidekick and also as a playable character from the second controller. ''Sonic Chaos'' (1993), on the Game Gear/Master System was the first game where you could control Tails' flight abilities.<br /> <br /> Then, in ''Sonic 3'' (1994) Tails made his second major appearance (also able to fly, which made him pick up Sonic when possible). This was a big step forward for Tails; he became much better known and respected at this point.<br /> <br /> In Sonic Adventure and its remake, Sonic Adventure DX, Tails is 1 of the 6 playable characters in those games. To unlock him, rescue him as [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] at the beach. His gameplay is to destroy the capsule or get to the Chaos Emerald before Sonic or [[Dr. Eggman]].<br /> <br /> However, in the sequel, Sonic Adventure 2 and it's remake, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, his gameplay changed. Instead of the one in Sonic Adventure, he got a gameplay similar to [[E-102 Gamma]]'s in Sonic Adventure, in fact, Dr. Eggman got the gameplay too.<br /> <br /> In ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', he helps out in the Circus Park and Air Fleet levels. <br /> <br /> In ''Sonic Riders'', Tails is a playable character, and one of the main characters of the game. He modified Sonic's Extreme Gear &quot;Blue Star&quot; to become &quot;Blue Star II&quot;. [[Babylon Rogues|Wave the Swallow]] makes fun of his board design, sparking a rivalry between them throughout the game. When racing, he has the best cornering of all characters.<br /> <br /> ===Gameplay quirks===<br /> In ''Sonic 2'', ''Sonic 3'' and ''Sonic Adventure'', when the player has opted to play in 'Sonic and Tails' mode (controlling Sonic while the AI makes Tails follow him), it's not readily stated in the manual, but a second player can use the 2P controller to use Tails. The action will continue to follow Sonic on the screen, making him the focal point, but Tails is fully controllable in every way that he is when playing as Tails alone. This can potentially be exploited by players who are having trouble with some problem areas or bosses, as Tails has the benefit of being completely invulnerable, with any &quot;death&quot; he suffers being quickly resolved as the character flies harmlessly back onto the screen after a few seconds. Moreover, in ''Sonic 3'', Tails is granted the ability to fly as he pleases, which can allow the Tails-using player to airlift Sonic wherever he might need to go, though Tails does have an endurance limit to his flight. Sonic Advance allowed this mode as well (via a code entered at character select), however, Tails couldn't be controlled by a second player this time.<br /> <br /> There is also a glitch in ''Sonic 2'' which arguably gives him a 'Super Tails' form before its official appearance in ''Sonic 3 &amp; Knuckles''. Again, playing in Sonic &amp; Tails mode is a prerequisite. After becoming Super Sonic through whatever means necessary (code or legitimately), the player can use the in-game debug mode to place a normal item monitor on the ground, giving himself a monitor with the teleport item normally only available in 2-player split screen. After jumping on this, the characters will stay in their location, but while Super Sonic's abilities will be apparently gone, Tails will now have an invincibility ring surrounding him. Sonic must collect another 50 rings and jump to return to Super status. Super Tails will remain in his state for as long as he doesn't &quot;die&quot; through drowning, crushing or falling, and he actually runs as fast as Super Sonic, though he lacks the height of his jumps.<br /> <br /> == Comics and TV shows ==<br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> [[Image:TailsScreenshot.jpg|right|thumb|Miles &quot;Tails&quot; Prower piloting the X-Tornado in Sonic X]]<br /> Tails has appeared in several cartoon shows, such as [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)|SatAM]], ''[[Wikipedia:Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic X|Sonic X]]''. However, he is absent from ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic Underground|Sonic Underground]]''.<br /> <br /> In '''Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog''', he is a lot younger than his game self (this is one reason he became often seen as Sonic's little &quot;groupie&quot;). He is often, in Sonic's opinion, a slight annoyance due to his irritating tendency of being captured easily, often by one of Robotnik's creations or Robotnik himself. But still, Sonic sees him as like a surrogate brother and best friend, and is usually overprotective of him (this often leads to his or Sonic's capture). Even though, Tails seems to have a vast intelligence in mechanics and can operate independently in drastic situations, such as in one instance lacing an entire building with booby-traps (in a manner similar to those seen in ''Home Alone'') in order to revive Sonic from a nasty ailment. He is also evidenced to have a large appetite, and like Sonic, his favorite food is chili dogs. He has a rather sharp tongue towards Scratch and Grounder (losers, morons, dumbclucks, etc) especially when cornered.<br /> <br /> He also appears in the British ''Sonic the Comic'', published by Fleetway, where he hails from the Nameless Zone, a region which can apparently only be accessed by a space warp. A misunderstanding led Tails to the Emerald Hill Zone, where the streets of which he believed were paved with real emeralds, but once there, Tails immediately became fascinated with Sonic, and eventually became his sidekick and eventually best friend. Unfortunately for him, though, he exaggerated the relationship in letters home, professing that HE was the great hero of [[Mobius]] and that Sonic was HIS sidekick, which resulted in the elders of the Nameless Zone often calling him back, and gifting him with a suit of enchanted armor to defend their Zone from assorted evil - and poor old Tails never did quite manage to explain the truth. One time, Knuckles accidentally joined Tails and was mistaken for Sonic by everyone in the Nameless Zone. Knuckles played along and kept it all secret from Sonic. Tails also accidentally found himself seen as an valiant and unstoppable Zonerunner (a Freedom Fighter who travels between Zones) by the Chemical Plant Zone rebels known as the Flock.<br /> <br /> While the Zonerunner &amp; Nameless Zone adventures were 'secret' adventures where Tails was accidentally seen as a major hero, later stories would have him actively doing heroic deeds, though these were mainly short arcs or more comedic stories. On occasions, he would save someone and they would grumble he wasn't a more famous hero! Despite this, Tails gained his own rogue's gallery including the brutal goblin lord Trogg, the psychotic robot Nutzan Bolt, Fleabyte the bounty hunter and the gangster Max Gamble, as well as allies such as Errol &amp; Blackthorn (brother and sister warriors of the Nameless Zone). He also fought many criminals after the defeat of Robotnik, defended the Casino Night Zone &amp; its people from Brutus' Badniks, and was chosen by Sonic to protect the planet while he went after Robotnik during the ''Planet In Peril/Game Over'' story. While he is self-conscious, Tails has proven time &amp; again (and openly stated) that he is much tougher than some people may think.<br /> <br /> Tails also appears in the American Archie Sonic Comics, where he is developed upon as the chosen one and the son of Rosemary and Amadeus Prower, also having an uncle named Merlin. In the Archie Sonic comic, he seemed to have lost his parents at an early age, and admired the [[Wikipedia:Freedom Fighters (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Freedom Fighters]], particularly Sonic. He has grown pretty close with the [[Wikipedia:Princess Sally|Princess Sally]], as he calls her Aunt Sally. He is also Sonic's surrogate little brother. Jules and Bernie Hedgehog (Sonic's parents in the comic version) also view Tails as a son to them. During his journey through space, Sonic met Tails' parents on Argentium, home planet of the Bem aliens.<br /> <br /> When he absorbs fifty rings and seven Chaos Emeralds, he becomes Turbo Tails. His fur color changes from orange to dark orange, all natural abilities are upgraded and he is, like Super Sonic, immune to all attacks that come his way. He has only once made an appearance as Super Tails after he had absorbed the power of a thousand power rings in a battle along side Ultra Sonic against the evil wizard Ixis Naugus. He was aided by four flickies that have chaos energy and that will attack whatever he wishes them to. Tails, like Sonic, has multiple other-dimensional counterparts, whom he teamed up with to fight his nemesis, Mammoth Mogul. When this proved ineffective, Tails merged with his alternate selves to become a massive cosmic being known as Titan Tails.<br /> <br /> Archie Comics produced a supplementary 3-issue mini-series in the mid-nineties, in which Tails embarked on a solo adventure to the land of Downunda, a supposed parallel of Australia, where several marsupials befriended him including one Barby Koala. Leading into the story arc featured in the mini-series was a two-part mini-adventure in which Tails encountered a disguised robot named [[Wikipedia:Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)#Fiona Fox|Fiona Fox]], a robotic duplicate of a young vixen. He fell in love with her before discovering her robotic nature. The organic counterpart of Fiona is now featured in the Archie comic and Tails seems to have a crush on her, although she is less than interested in him as she is several years older. (Fiona Fox herself has recently been seen dating, of all people, Sonic; Tails ended up screaming &quot;I HATE YOU!&quot; at Sonic when he found out.) <br /> <br /> In Sonic X, Tails develops a love interest in [[Wikipedia:List of minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog#Cosmo|Cosmo]], the plant-like alien girl introduced in Season 3. The strength of Tails' love is shown in Episode 73, where [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]], in an attempt to kill Cosmo, clobbers Sonic, Chris, and Knuckles, but, despite his best efforts, could not manage to get past Tails. Unfortunately, Cosmo sacrifices herself in Episode 77, fusing herself with the Metarex planet so that Tails could destroy it with the Sonic Driver; Tails was extremely hesitant to fire, and only did so at the urging of Cosmo herself and Dr. Eggman. In Episode 78, Super Sonic and Super Shadow use Chaos Regeneration to try to bring Cosmo back to life, but only manage to produce a small seed. When Sonic shows the seed to Tails, the fox collapses on the floor and starts crying. However, it is possible that Sonic and Shadow succeeded; at the end of the episode, the seed began to sprout.<br /> <br /> ===How Sonic and Tails met===<br /> In every version of the Sonic series, there is a different version of how Sonic and Tails met (excluding ''Sonic Underground'', since Tails was absent from it). As stated earlier, in the video game version (as taken from the official ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'' manual) Sonic instantly became Tails' idol when Tails first witnessed Sonic's incredible speed. After Sonic sees that the young fox is actually able to catch up with him he recruits him as his sidekick. This scene can be witnessed in ''Sonic Adventure'' in a flashback during Tails' story. <br /> <br /> In ''Sonic X'', Tails and Sonic became friends after Tails rebuilt and repainted Sonic's antique airplane. Before he met Sonic, Tails was bullied by other animals where he lived because of his skills.<br /> <br /> In a flashback shown in the ''Adventures Of Sonic the Hedgehog'' episode &quot;Tails' New Home&quot;, Tails literally landed on top of Sonic. The baby fox cub explains to Sonic he had just been kicked out the nest of some birds, young Tails had decided he was a bird due to his ability to fly. Sonic tells him he is in fact a fox and is shocked to see that he can actually fly. Baby Tails follows Sonic and after getting him into some mishaps, Sonic agrees that Tails can stay with him. <br /> <br /> In ''Sonic The Comic'', Sonic saved Tails from drowning in a swamp when they first met when he saw two tails peering from the swamp, the rest of Tails' body completely submerged. Mistakenly believing there were two foxes in the swamp, Sonic only had time to grab one tail and believed one fox had drowned; he soon realized that both tails belonged to the same fox.<br /> <br /> The [[Saturday morning cartoon]] did not give an explanation as to how they met, but the comics based off of it did. In the flashback story &quot;Eve of Destruction&quot;, the five-year-old Sonic witnesses Tails' birth and immediately befriends the newborn fox a few minutes (or two pages) later.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> It is rumored by fans that Cream is Tails' love interest. This is mainly because they are counterparts of each other in many ways. They talk very little in the series, but they seem to get along.<br /> <br /> It is also rumored by some fans that Tails was the original guardian of the Chaos Emeralds, and that when Hidden Palace Zone was scrapped from Sonic 2, the role was given to a new character, [[Knuckles the Echidna]]. But recent interviews with Sonic Team Lead Designer Yuji Naka yielded that the Hidden Palace Zone was originally designed as a place for Sonic to be granted the power to become Super Sonic, as well as the place of origin of the Chaos Emeralds. Though, the zone artist for ''Sonic 2'', Craig Stitt, said that the emerald was merely an object for the player's character to break through. [http://www.sws2b.com/zones/hidden_palace.2]<br /> <br /> Thanks to his IQ 400 attack in ''Sonic Battle'', it is rumoured that Tails is in fact considerably more intelligent than Dr. Eggman (Eggman is stated to have an IQ of 300), and ''Sonic Adventure 2'' showed that Tails can build a mech just as good as the Doctor - their mechs have only cosmetic differences. (Although in real life, IQs for children are not directly comparable with those of adults as a measure of intelligence.) Even though Tails can build mechs and vehicles similar to Eggman's, he does not build robots, Badniks, or the vast weapon designs, such as the Death Egg, that Dr. Eggman engineers. Whether Tails is smarter than Eggman or not, it's obvious that he's considerably more mature than the prospective world ruler.<br /> <br /> Also, some people claim that Tails could be [[female]], even though Yasushi Yamaguchi, Yuji Naka, and/or the rest of Sonic Team have always designed him as a [[male]] character. In the Spanish dub of some of the TV shows (including Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog), ''Colitas'' (lit.: Small tails) was referred to as ''ella'' (she), and she called herself ''zorra'' (vixen). This comes from many things, such as that the Spanish language has masculine and feminine words, and ''cola'', the word for ''tail'', is feminine, the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 pre-development, and the fact that Tails seems to have a big attraction to Sonic. However, his real name, Miles, is not a female name, and in the original Japanese, he uses a male mode of speech, so the theory only evolves in fan fiction.<br /> <br /> ==Related facts==<br /> * In April 2002, EGM created a hoax that Tails, along with Sonic, were unlockable characters in ''Super Smash Brothers: Melee''. This was entirely false, created for April Fools, though recently, Nintendo has expressed interest in including them to the series (possibly brought on by their inclusion of Konami character Solid Snake to &quot;Super Smash Bros. Brawl&quot;), citing them as &quot;perfect&quot; characters for the game. In the end, though, only Sonic was included.<br /> <br /> ==Voice Actors==<br /> *In Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails is voiced by Christopher Welch.<br /> *In the series Sonic the Hedgehog (nicknamed SatAM by fans), he is voiced by Bradley Pierce.<br /> *In the English adaptation of the Sonic the Hedgehog anime, Tails was played by Lainie Fraiser.<br /> *In the Japanese version of the Sonic the Hedgehog anime, Tails was played by Hekiru Shiina.<br /> *In ''Sonic X'' and all future games beginning with ''Shadow the Hedgehog'', Tails is voiced by Amy Palant.<br /> *In the ''Sonic Adventure'' games, Tails was voiced by Corey Bringas.<br /> *In Japan, Tails was played by Atsuki Murata in the games until Sonic X came out. Since then he has been voiced by Ryo Hirohashi.<br /> *In Sonic Heroes, Sonic Battle, and Sonic Advance 3, William Corkery provides the voice for Tails.<br /> <br /> == Theme songs ==<br /> *In ''Sonic Adventure'' and ''Sonic Adventure DX'', Tails's theme song is &quot;Believe in Myself&quot;, a [[rock]] song sung by Karen Brake.<br /> *In ''Sonic Adventure 2'' and ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'', Tails's theme song is also &quot;Believe in Myself&quot;, featuring many of the same lyrics, but set to a different tune and sung by Kaz Silver. <br /> *In ''Sonic Heroes'' Team Sonic's theme is called &quot;We Can&quot;, and mentions him in the line, &quot;Tails keeps us flying high to stay above trouble&quot;.<br /> *In Sonic Riders, Tails' theme song, shared with Sonic and Knuckles, is an instrumental called &quot;High Flying Groove&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> ===Fan sites===<br /> * [http://tails.kicks-ass.net Tails.Kicks-Ass.Net] Tails/Sonic/Etc site with plenty of media downloads, a simple Forum.<br /> * [http://www.tailmanteam.net Tailman Team] A general Tails information website, media, pictures, and info on Tails.

''Furrlough'' #190 was released in 2010 September.&lt;ref&gt;[http://previewsworld.com/shipping/archive/2010/090910.txt Diamond Comic Distributors shipping list for 2010 September 9] at a [[Diamond Comic Distributors]] website. Retrieved 2011 January 5.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Furrlough'' was originally released by [[Antarctic Press]] in November 1991 with the intent of specializing in military tales of an anthropomorphic nature. The focus slowly shifted to &quot;military and adventure&quot; and eventually just &quot;adventure&quot;, as the tone of submissions to the anthology likewise shifted. Although Antarctic's founder [[Ben Dunn]] launched the title as its editor, the company's needs quickly compelled him to pass the role on to the duo of [[Shon Howell]] and [[Brian Sutton]], both of whom were also prolific contributors. The two acted as co-editors from issues #2 - #17.<br /> <br /> [[Elin Winkler]] took over editing with issue #18, with ''Furrlough'' running for a total of 51 issues at Antarctic Press (Why 51? At that time, Ben Dunn wanted ''Furrlough'' to last one issue longer than ''[[Critters]]'', another anthropomorphic anthology published by [[Wikipedia:Fantagraphics|Fantagraphics]] in the 1980s, because he had a personal axe to grind with Fantagraphics' editor [[Wikipedia:Gary Groth|Gary Groth]]). At that time, AP's success in promoting non-anthro comic titles such as ''Warrior Nun Areala'' prompted the company to reinvest its resources in an attempt to concentrate more effort behind its breakout titles. The anthro comics, which sold at a small but steady profit, were cut loose in order to make the necessary capital available.<br /> <br /> Ms. Winkler, along with a number of other pro-anthropomorphism stalwarts, immediately founded [[Radio Comix]] which took these discarded titles, including ''Furrlough'', under its wing. Issue #52 was published in April 1997, and new issues were released monthly until a switch to a bi-monthly schedule in early 2008 (since switched to bi-annual after changing paper format due to Diamond Comics demands). The reliable profitability of these titles, however small it might be from month to month, allowed Radio to remain solvent and build its fortunes at a steady pace. <br /> <br /> The first square-bound issue of Furrlough, Furrlough #190,&lt;ref&gt;[https://radiocomixstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_17&amp;products_id=984 Furrlough #190 in Radio Comix Store].

Simpson]]. Launched in 1998, it has updated five times a week or more for the majority of its run. On April 24, 2008, D.C. Simpson announced on the Ozy and Millie website that the comic would be ending sometime prior to the end of 2008, with occasional longer-length strips possible after that.<br /> <br /> ''Ozy and Millie'' (vol. 4, ''Authentic Banana Dye'') won the 2002 [[Ursa Major Award]] for ''Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work'', as well as ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic'' from the [http://www.ccawards.com/ Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards] for that same year. It was also nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip'' in 2005, and won the same award in 2006 and 2007.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> [[Image:OzyandMillie.png|thumb|right|Webcomic's initial logo]]<br /> D.C. Simpson notes on the web site's [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/history/ history page] that early versions of the strip's characters first started appearing at the beginning of 1997. The characters continued in ''Tales of Planet Q'' later that year, eventually becoming Ozy and Millie on 1 January, 1998 (''Planet Q'' was published that same month in ''[[Hunca Munca!]] #5'', and also appeared in the indie comic [[Furrlough]], issue #61). The characters were redesigned over April-May 2000. Versions are available in [http://ozyandmillie.furpost.ru/ Russian], [http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~tinki/ German] and [http://www.glasswings.com.au/comics/ozyandmillie.fr/ French], along with a few examples in [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/latin/ Latin] and [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/klingon/ Klingon].<br /> <br /> == Main Characters ==<br /> As in [[Wikipedia:Charles Schulz|Charles Schulz]]'s [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]], the main focus of of Ozy and Millie is among a group of children. Unlike Peanuts, however, the few adult characters are usually visible to the reader.<br /> <br /> A complete list of characters (with pictures) is given on [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/cast.html the O&amp;M site's &quot;cast&quot; page].<br /> <br /> === Ozy ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ozy.gif|right|Ozy]]<br /> Ozy, ten years old, lives in the small American town of North Harbordale, together with his friend Millie. He is an [[Arctic fox|arctic fox]]. He was originally supposed to be a [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] according to D.C. Simpson, until a fan showed him a [http://web.archive.org/web/20060830082827/www.ozyandmillie.org/images/ArcticFoxPups.jpg photo of arctic fox kits] that, he said, were &quot;absolute ringers&quot; for Ozy. Ozy did retain his whisker marks however.<br /> <br /> Ozy's full name, Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn, is a reference to the poem ''Ozymandias'' by [[Wikipedia:Percy Bysshe Shelley|Percy Bysshe Shelley]]:<br /> <br /> :''My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:''<br /> :''Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!''<br /> <br /> Ozy is easily recognised by his large top hat, which he got from his father Llewellyn when he adopted Ozy. Apart from the hat he wears only a vest, but no pants, which occasionally makes him the target of some of Millie's practical jokes. He's generally adept at letting Millie's pranks pass by without much effect, but he does occasionally have to suffer bullying at the hands of the school jock, Jeremy, whose favourite pastime involves stuffing Ozy into rubbish bins. Apart from that, Ozy suffers from annual baldness, usually through either some freak accident or because of Millie. Although it is caused by a curse, which has passed on through Ozy's adoptive father's heritage largely unnoticed, it does affect Ozy rather badly since he is the first Llewellyn with any hair to lose at all.<br /> <br /> Ozy is also quiet and serene, and under guidance of his father, Ozy practices the art of [[Wikipedia:Zen|Zen]] - or more a humorous version of it. The fundamentals of his view is explained as: ''It has been said that, while knowledge is acquired by learning... Wisdom is acquired by unlearning.''<br /> <br /> === Millie ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:millie.gif|right|Millie]]<br /> :''I act weird because I figure, hey, I'm gonna be an outcast anyway, so I might as well do it with style.'' – Millie<br /> <br /> Ozy spends most of his time with his best friend Millie, a ten year old [[Red fox|red fox]] girl. Millicent Mehitabel Mudd, as her full name goes, is usually seen wearing her set of blue denim overalls. Unlike Ozy's zenlike calmness, Millie's trademark is chaos, both in the destruction she leaves behind and the clever ways she devises to get out of doing work.<br /> <br /> She's a real rebel, and is opposed to any form of authority, which regularly leads to confrontations with both her teacher, Ms. Sorkowitz, and her mother, Ms. Mudd. Her destructive and rebellious habits not only get herself into trouble, but quite often Ozy too when she drags him along into yet another of her grand schemes of world domination - or, failing that, uses him to hide the trail of destruction. And although she might be havoc incarnate at times, she also has a strong sense of justice, and has a hard time facing the inexplicable wrongs of life and the world she sees. However, her rebellion against the establishment is mostly limited to annoying her mother, playing jokes on Ozy and disrupting the peace at school. None of which matters any less to her, as long as she has fun doing it.<br /> <br /> Millie says aloud what others think, and does what others, for fear of reaction from the people around them, wouldn't dare. She has her introspective and thoughtful moments, and like Ozy she thinks about great (and sometimes not so great) philosophical questions. What makes her unique is how she goes about finding the answers.<br /> <br /> === Llewellyn ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:llewellyn.gif|right|Llewellyn]]<br /> :''Whatever does not kill me makes me stranger.'' – Llewellyn<br /> <br /> Ozy's adoptive father, known only as Llewellyn, is a red [[Dragon|dragon]] whose manner can only be described as strange. When he's not running for U.S. president or involved in some kind of secret conspiracy, he's the one to give Ozy the support he needs with often some clever but seemingly useless advice. In the meantime, he runs his house as a separate nation, Greater Llewellynlland.<br /> <br /> Llewellyn is likely around 150-200 years old, and currently lives by himself, having only Ozy to raise and care for. The kids both like him, though they often see him as a big red friendly oddball. While his stories usually contain a lesson somewhere, the lesson is either completely irrelevant or the story completely pointless, and it's never entirely sure whether or not he's actually making it all up as he goes. He clearly has some secrets up his sleeve though, but you're more likely to see him bathing in banana pudding than chanting ancient incantations.<br /> <br /> === Ms. Mudd ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ms_mudd.gif|right|Ms. Mudd]]<br /> Millie's mother is best described as an older, wiser, and perhaps more temperate Millie herself. Having been much like Millie in her past, and being an accomplished lawyer today, she knows all the tricks, rules and loopholes that come with raising Millie, much to Millie's own annoyance. And while Ms. Mudd knows how to deal with mischievous little fox girls, she's also the first to lend her support if there's anything amiss with her little sprout.<br /> <br /> Since she is living alone with Millie, Ms. Mudd has been looking for companionship, and found it with Llewellyn. They've been dating for a while, and it seems that they get along very well together. Not to mention the effect this has on the two children, who can unsurprisingly get along better with the parent of the other most of the time.<br /> <br /> Her full name was finally revealed to be Mililani Minerva Mudd on October 1, 2008, ending years of speculation by fans.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * ''[[Wikipedia:Ozy and Millie|Ozy and Millie]]'' at Wikipedia<br /> * [[Define &quot;Cynical&quot;]] - Official fan forum<br /> * [[House Rules]] - Fan-made colorings of the strips<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.ozyandmillie.org Official ''Ozy and Millie'' web site]<br /> * [http://www.lulu.com/dcsimpson Buy ''Ozy and Millie''] from Lulu.com<br /> <br /> === Fan activities ===<br /> * [http://www.definecynical.net/ Define &quot;Cynical&quot;] - Fan site and discussion forum<br /> * [http://community.livejournal.com/ozyandmillie/ Ozy and Millie Fan Community] on [[LiveJournal]]<br /> * [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ozyandmillie/ ''Ozy and Millie'' Yahoo! group/mailing list]<br /> <br /> === Reviews ===<br /> * [http://anthrozine.com/revw/rvw.patten.06.html#tofu.knights Review of ''Tofu Knights''] at ''[[Anthro (magazine)|Anthro]]''<br /> {{Ursa Major Awards winners}}<br /> [[Category:Comics]][[Category:Ursa Major Award winners]][[Category:1998 births]]<br /> [[ru:Ози и Милли]]</div>

The ship's computer is a mobile system of robots called MOUSE.<br /> ----<br /> ; Kitty : Commander Kitty is our antihero. He's our Black Adder... our Arnold Rimmer... our Basil Fawlty. A scheming, cunning, conniving misfit who will never be satisfied until the world sees him as the Greatest Spacer Ever. Kitty insists on everyone calling him 'Commander', even though Mittens is the only one who actually does. (Not out of respect, but out of 'Mittens is such a wiener'.) To CK, image is everything! His dream is to be the suave, daring, roguish daredevil Spacer that everyone admires, and whom gets all the girls. And these petty jobs he keeps getting are hardly worth his effort. When something goes wrong, he blames the equipment. Or the sun was in his eyes. Or it was Mittens' fault. In the original strips, he does mention that he has a real first name, but the strip ends before he announces it. Sadly, most of the strips were lost when the original hosting site went down. It is unclear whether it will be announced in the revamped version.<br /> ; Mittens : Mittens was born with a red ensign's uniform on. He's loyal to CK because he thinks he's being taught by the best. Whether out of fear, or out of sheer naivety, Mittens respects CK's authority. Not to say he won't cower and tremble and beg for mercy when he's ordered to sneak into a Mandrill Death Chamber. He is reliable, but doesn't listen very well. He's trusting, but gullible. He wouldn't be anyone's first choice to pilot a Spacer ship, but he's exactly the pilot CK deserves.<br /> ; Mr. Socks : Mr Socks is, basically, a parody of TV's Mr Spock. But where Spock was emotionless, Socks is a Ferret with emotion overload! Happy one minute, lazy the next... easily distracted by squeaky things and bright lights. Socks does possess a remarkably inventive mind, and is often at work in his lab, creating magnificent machines and terrifying weapons that may or may not work according to plan, depending on how well CK and/or Mittens follow instructions. Imagine Stephen Hawking with ADHD and you'll probably not be far off.<br /> ; Fluffy : The First Officer, she is likely not even aware they are on a space ship. She is known for the audible thud noise that her brain makes when someone asks her a question with two meanings. Simple tasks like making toast can cause her little mind to pop. Yet she often saves the day by her sheer blissful fearlessness and dumb luck.<br /> ; MOUSE : MOUSE is the computer operating system for CK's ship. It comes equipped with an interactive robot named MOUSE. MOUSE is a little bastard, though. It delights in tormenting CK and Mittens with its practical jokes, and backtalk. It's programmed to obey orders, but that doesn't mean it has to like it. To make things worse, MOUSE is self replicating, and able to produce five of itself at any time, to aid in ship repairs, or crew support. This would be a pretty handy feature if they didn't just gang up on Mittens all the time. Basically, its main feature is to be a pain in the butt.<br /> ; Nin Wah : Nin Wah is a Spacer like CK. She is cheerful, energetic, and optimistic. That doesn't mean she's any more successful than CK, though! She is from the planet Panda Red, and like all of her people, considers the black and white pandas to be the 'lesser' variety. Nin Wah has a cybertronic right arm. If you ask her how she lost it, she'll tell a different sensational story every time!<br /> <br /> == Press coverage ==<br /> In an [http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041104/ENTERTAINMENT/111040114 interview] with the Nashua Telegraph Online, Scotty mentioned the following about his strip:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;'Commander Kitty' is, as most Web comics start out as, a labor of love, and just an outlet for my creativity,&quot; Arsenault said in a recent telephone interview. &quot;I don’t remember wanting to do anything else. I always wanted to draw and be creative. The Internet is just a magnificent place for giving people with something to say, a place to say it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I created a bunch of characters that really weren’t going anywhere, then I came up with new ones that I could work better with, and out came Commander Kitty, Fluffy, Mittens, Mr. Socks, it just sprang out of that,&quot; Arsenault said. &quot;After I put the characters together, I took a vacation in Washington, D.C.

His dream is to be the suave, daring, roguish daredevil Spacer that everyone admires, and whom gets all the girls. And these petty jobs he keeps getting are hardly worth his effort. When something goes wrong, he blames the equipment. Or the sun was in his eyes. Or it was Mittens' fault.<br /> In the original strips, he does mention that he has a real first name, but the strip ends before he announces it. Sadly, most of the strips were lost when the original hosting site went down. It is unclear whether it will be announced in the revamped version.<br /> ; Mittens : Mittens was born with a red ensign's uniform on. He's loyal to CK because he thinks he's being taught by the best. Whether out of fear, or out of sheer naivety, Mittens respects CK's authority. Not to say he won't cower and tremble and beg for mercy when he's ordered to sneak into a Mandrill Death Chamber. He is reliable, but doesn't listen very well. He's trusting, but gullible. He wouldn't be anyone's first choice to pilot a Spacer ship, but he's exactly the pilot CK deserves.<br /> ; Mr. Socks : Mr Socks is, basically, a parody of TV's Mr Spock. But where Spock was emotionless, Socks is a Ferret with emotion overload! Happy one minute, lazy the next... easily distracted by squeaky things and bright lights. Socks does possess a remarkably inventive mind, and is often at work in his lab, creating magnificent machines and terrifying weapons that may or may not work according to plan, depending on how well CK and/or Mittens follow instructions. Imagine Stephen Hawking with ADHD and you'll probably not be far off.<br /> ; Fluffy : The First Officer, she is likely not even aware they are on a space ship. She is known for the audible thud noise that her brain makes when someone asks her a question with two meanings. Simple tasks like making toast can cause her little mind to pop. Yet she often saves the day by her sheer blissful fearlessness and dumb luck.<br /> ; MOUSE : MOUSE is the computer operating system for CK's ship. It comes equipped with an interactive robot named MOUSE. MOUSE is a little bastard, though. It delights in tormenting CK and Mittens with its practical jokes, and backtalk. It's programmed to obey orders, but that doesn't mean it has to like it. To make things worse, MOUSE is self replicating, and able to produce five of itself at any time, to aid in ship repairs, or crew support. This would be a pretty handy feature if they didn't just gang up on Mittens all the time. Basically, its main feature is to be a pain in the butt.<br /> ; Nin Wah : Nin Wah is a Spacer like CK. She is cheerful, energetic, and optimistic. That doesn't mean she's any more successful than CK, though! She is from the planet Panda Red, and like all of her people, considers the black and white pandas to be the 'lesser' variety. Nin Wah has a cybertronic right arm. If you ask her how she lost it, she'll tell a different sensational story every time!<br /> <br /> == Press coverage ==<br /> In an [http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041104/ENTERTAINMENT/111040114 interview] with the Nashua Telegraph Online, Scotty mentioned the following about his strip:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;'Commander Kitty' is, as most Web comics start out as, a labor of love, and just an outlet for my creativity,&quot; Arsenault said in a recent telephone interview. &quot;I don’t remember wanting to do anything else. I always wanted to draw and be creative. The Internet is just a magnificent place for giving people with something to say, a place to say it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I created a bunch of characters that really weren’t going anywhere, then I came up with new ones that I could work better with, and out came Commander Kitty, Fluffy, Mittens, Mr. Socks, it just sprang out of that,&quot; Arsenault said. &quot;After I put the characters together, I took a vacation in Washington, D.C.

Simpson]]. Launched in 1998, it has updated five times a week or more for the majority of its run. On April 24, 2008, D.C. Simpson announced on the Ozy and Millie website that the comic would be ending sometime prior to the end of 2008, with occasional longer-length strips possible after that.<br /> <br /> In 2002, ''Ozy and Millie'' (vol. 4, ''Authentic Banana Dye'') won the [[Ursa Major Award]] for ''Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work'', as well as ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic'' from the [http://www.ccawards.com/ Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards] that same year. It was also nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip'' in 2005, and won the same award in 2006 and 2007.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> D.C. Simpson notes on the web site's [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/history/ history page] that early versions of the strip's characters first started appearing at the beginning of 1997. The characters continued in ''Tales of Planet Q'' later that year, eventually becoming Ozy and Millie on 1 January, 1998 (''Planet Q'' was published that same month in ''[[Hunca Munca!]] #5'', and also appeared in the indie comic &quot;Furrlough&quot;, issue #61). The characters were redesigned over April-May 2000. Versions are available in [http://ozyandmillie.furpost.ru/ Russian], [http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~tinki/ German] and [http://www.glasswings.com.au/comics/ozyandmillie.fr/ French], along with a few examples in [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/latin/ Latin] and [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/klingon/ Klingon].<br /> <br /> == Main Characters ==<br /> As in [[Wikipedia:Charles Schulz|Charles Schulz]]'s [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]], the main focus of of Ozy and Millie is among a group of children. Unlike Peanuts, however, the few adult characters are usually visible to the reader.<br /> <br /> A complete list of characters (with pictures) is given on [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/cast.html the O&amp;M site's &quot;cast&quot; page].<br /> <br /> === Ozy ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ozy.gif|right|Ozy]]<br /> Ozy, ten years old, lives in the small American town of North Harbordale, together with his friend Millie. He is an [[Arctic fox|arctic fox]]. He was originally supposed to be a [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] according to the D.C. Simpson, until a fan showed him a [http://web.archive.org/web/20060830082827/www.ozyandmillie.org/images/ArcticFoxPups.jpg photo of arctic fox kits] that, he said, were &quot;absolute ringers&quot; for Ozy. Ozy did retain his whisker marks however.<br /> <br /> Ozy's full name, Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn, is a reference to the poem ''Ozymandias'' by [[Wikipedia:Percy Bysshe Shelley|Percy Bysshe Shelley]]:<br /> <br /> :''My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:''<br /> :''Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!''<br /> <br /> Ozy is easily recognised by his large top hat, which he got from his father Llewellyn when he adopted Ozy. Apart from the hat he wears only a vest, but no pants, which occasionally makes him the target of some of Millie's practical jokes. He's generally adept at letting Millie's pranks pass by without much effect, but he does occasionally have to suffer bullying at the hands of the school jock, Jeremy, whose favourite pastime involves stuffing Ozy into rubbish bins. Apart from that, Ozy suffers from annual baldness, usually through either some freak accident or because of Millie. Although it is caused by a curse, which has passed on through Ozy's adoptive father's heritage largely unnoticed, it does affect Ozy rather badly since he is the first Llewellyn with any hair to lose at all.<br /> <br /> Ozy is also quiet and serene, and under guidance of his father, Ozy practices the art of [[Wikipedia:Zen|Zen]] - or more a humorous version of it. The fundamentals of his view is explained as: ''It has been said that, while knowledge is acquired by learning... Wisdom is acquired by unlearning.''<br /> <br /> === Millie ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:millie.gif|right|Millie]]<br /> :''I act weird because I figure, hey, I'm gonna be an outcast anyway, so I might as well do it with style.'' – Millie<br /> <br /> Ozy spends most of his time with his best friend Millie, a ten year old [[Red fox|red fox]] girl. Millicent Mehitabel Mudd, as her full name goes, is usually seen wearing her set of blue denim overalls. Unlike Ozy's zenlike calmness, Millie's trademark is chaos, both in the destruction she leaves behind and the clever ways she devises to get out of doing work.<br /> <br /> She's a real rebel, and is opposed to any form of authority, which regularly leads to confrontations with both her teacher, Ms. Sorkowitz, and her mother, Ms. Mudd. Her destructive and rebellious habits not only get herself into trouble, but quite often Ozy too when she drags him along into yet another of her grand schemes of world domination - or, failing that, uses him to hide the trail of destruction. And although she might be havoc incarnate at times, she also has a strong sense of justice, and has a hard time facing the inexplicable wrongs of life and the world she sees. However, her rebellion against the establishment is mostly limited to annoying her mother, playing jokes on Ozy and disrupting the peace at school. None of which matters any less to her, as long as she has fun doing it.<br /> <br /> Millie says aloud what others think, and does what others, for fear of reaction from the people around them, wouldn't dare. She has her introspective and thoughtful moments, and like Ozy she thinks about great (and sometimes not so great) philosophical questions. What makes her unique is how she goes about finding the answers.<br /> <br /> === Llewellyn ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:llewellyn.gif|right|Llewellyn]]<br /> :''Whatever does not kill me makes me stranger.'' – Llewellyn<br /> <br /> Ozy's adoptive father, known only as Llewellyn, is a red [[Dragon|dragon]] whose manner can only be described as strange. When he's not running for U.S. president or involved in some kind of secret conspiracy, he's the one to give Ozy the support he needs with often some clever but seemingly useless advice. In the meantime, he runs his house as a separate nation, Greater Llewellynlland.<br /> <br /> Llewellyn is likely around 150-200 years old, and currently lives by himself, having only Ozy to raise and care for. The kids both like him, though they often see him as a big red friendly oddball. While his stories usually contain a lesson somewhere, the lesson is either completely irrelevant or the story completely pointless, and it's never entirely sure whether or not he's actually making it all up as he goes. He clearly has some secrets up his sleeve though, but you're more likely to see him bathing in banana pudding than chanting ancient incantations.<br /> <br /> === Ms. Mudd ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ms_mudd.gif|right|Ms. Mudd]]<br /> Millie's mother is best described as an older, wiser, and perhaps more temperate Millie herself. Having been much like Millie in her past, and being an accomplished lawyer today, she knows all the tricks, rules and loopholes that come with raising Millie, much to Millie's own annoyance. And while Ms. Mudd knows how to deal with mischievious little fox girls, she's also the first to lend her support if there's anything amiss with her little sprout.<br /> <br /> Since she is living alone with Millie, Ms. Mudd has been looking for companionship, and found it with Llewellyn. They've been dating for a while, and it seems that they get along very well together. Not to mention the effect this has on the two children, who can unsurprisingly get along better with the parent of the other most of the time.<br /> <br /> Her full name was finally revealed to be Mililani Minerva Mudd on October 1, 2008, ending years of speculation by fans.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * ''[[Wikipedia:Ozy and Millie|Ozy and Millie]]'' at Wikipedia<br /> * [[Define &quot;Cynical&quot;]] - Official fan forum<br /> * [[House Rules]] - Fan-made colorings of the strips<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.ozyandmillie.org Official ''Ozy and Millie'' web site]<br /> * [http://www.lulu.com/dcsimpson Buy ''Ozy and Millie''] from Lulu.com<br /> <br /> === Fan activities ===<br /> * [http://www.definecynical.net/ Define &quot;Cynical&quot;] - Fan site and discussion forum<br /> * [http://community.livejournal.com/ozyandmillie/ Ozy and Millie Fan Community] on [[LiveJournal]]<br /> * [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ozyandmillie/ ''Ozy and Millie'' Yahoo! group/mailing list]<br /> <br /> === Reviews ===<br /> * [http://anthrozine.com/revw/rvw.patten.06.html#tofu.knights Review of ''Tofu Knights''] at ''[[Anthro (magazine)|Anthro]]''<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics]][[Category:Ursa Major Award winners]][[Category:1998 births]]</div>

Simpson]]. Launched in 1998, it currently appears on the [http://www.ozyandmillie.org Ozy and Millie web site] five times a week (with some irregularity). On April 24, 2008, D.C. Simpson announced on the Ozy and Millie website that the comic would be ending sometime prior to the end of 2008, with occasional longer-length strips possible after that.<br /> <br /> In 2002, ''Ozy and Millie'' (vol. 4, ''Authentic Banana Dye'') won the [[Ursa Major Award]] for ''Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work'', as well as ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic'' from the [http://www.ccawards.com/ Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards] that same year. It was also nominated for ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip'' in 2005, and won the same award in 2006.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> D.C. Simpson notes on the web site's [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/history/ history page] that early versions of the strip's characters first started appearing at the beginning of 1997. The characters continued in ''Tales of Planet Q'' later that year, eventually becoming Ozy and Millie on 1 January, 1998 (''Planet Q'' was published that same month in ''[[Hunca Munca!]] #5''). The characters were redesigned over April-May 2000. Versions are available in [http://ozyandmillie.furpost.ru/ Russian], [http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~tinki/ German] and [http://www.glasswings.com.au/comics/ozyandmillie.fr/ French], along with a few examples in [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/latin/ Latin] and [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/klingon/ Klingon].<br /> <br /> == Main Characters ==<br /> As in [[Wikipedia:Charles Schulz|Charles Schulz]]'s [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]], the main focus of of Ozy and Millie is among a group of children. Unlike Peanuts, however, the few adult characters are usually visible to the reader.<br /> <br /> A complete list of characters (with pictures) is given on [http://www.ozyandmillie.org/cast.html the O&amp;M site's &quot;cast&quot; page].<br /> <br /> === Ozy ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ozy.gif|right|Ozy]]<br /> Ozy, ten years old, lives in the small American town of North Harbordale, together with his friend Millie. He is an [[Arctic fox|arctic fox]]. He was originally supposed to be a [[Wolf (species)|wolf]] according to the D.C. Simpson, until a fan showed him a [http://web.archive.org/web/20060830082827/www.ozyandmillie.org/images/ArcticFoxPups.jpg photo of arctic fox kits] that, he said, were &quot;absolute ringers&quot; for Ozy. Ozy did retain his whisker marks however.<br /> <br /> Ozy's full name, Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn, is a reference to the poem ''Ozymandias'' by [[Wikipedia:Percy Bysshe Shelley|Percy Bysshe Shelley]]:<br /> <br /> :''My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:''<br /> :''Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!''<br /> <br /> Ozy is easily recognised by his large top hat, which he got from his father Llewellyn when he adopted Ozy. Apart from the hat he wears only a vest, but no pants, which occasionally makes him the target of some of Millie's practical jokes. He's generally adept at letting Millie's pranks pass by without much effect, but he does occasionally have to suffer bullying at the hands of the school jock, Jeremy, whose favourite pastime involves stuffing Ozy into rubbish bins. Apart from that, Ozy suffers from annual baldness, usually through either some freak accident or because of Millie. Although it is caused by a curse, which has passed on through Ozy's adoptive father's heritage largely unnoticed, it does affect Ozy rather badly since he is the first Llewellyn with any hair to lose at all.<br /> <br /> Ozy is also quiet and serene, and under guidance of his father, Ozy practices the art of [[Wikipedia:Zen|Zen]] - or more a humorous version of it. The fundamentals of his view is explained as: ''It has been said that, while knowledge is acquired by learning... Wisdom is acquired by unlearning.''<br /> <br /> === Millie ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:millie.gif|right|Millie]]<br /> :''I act weird because I figure, hey, I'm gonna be an outcast anyway, so I might as well do it with style.'' – Millie<br /> <br /> Ozy spends most of his time with his best friend Millie, a ten year old [[Red fox|red fox]] girl. Millicent Mehitabel Mudd, as her full name goes, is usually seen wearing her set of blue denim overalls. Unlike Ozy's zenlike calmness, Millie's trademark is chaos, both in the destruction she leaves behind and the clever ways she devises to get out of doing work.<br /> <br /> She's a real rebel, and is opposed to any form of authority, which regularly leads to confrontations with both her teacher, Ms. Sorkowitz, and her mother, Ms. Mudd. Her destructive and rebellious habits not only get herself into trouble, but quite often Ozy too when she drags him along into yet another of her grand schemes of world domination - or, failing that, uses him to hide the trail of destruction. And although she might be havoc incarnate at times, she also has a strong sense of justice, and has a hard time facing the inexplicable wrongs of life and the world she sees. However, her rebellion against the establishment is mostly limited to annoying her mother, playing jokes on Ozy and disrupting the peace at school. None of which matters any less to her, as long as she has fun doing it.<br /> <br /> Millie says aloud what others think, and does what others, for fear of reaction from the people around them, wouldn't dare. She has her introspective and thoughtful moments, and like Ozy she thinks about great (and sometimes not so great) philosophical questions. What makes her unique is how she goes about finding the answers.<br /> <br /> === Llewellyn ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:llewellyn.gif|right|Llewellyn]]<br /> :''Whatever does not kill me makes me stranger.'' – Llewellyn<br /> <br /> Ozy's adoptive father, known only as Llewellyn, is a red [[Dragon|dragon]] whose manner can only be described as strange. When he's not running for U.S. president or involved in some kind of secret conspiracy, he's the one to give Ozy the support he needs with often some clever but seemingly useless advice. In the meantime, he runs his house as a separate nation, Greater Llewellynlland.<br /> <br /> Llewellyn is likely around 150-200 years old, and currently lives by himself, having only Ozy to raise and care for. The kids both like him, though they often see him as a big red friendly oddball. While his stories usually contain a lesson somewhere, the lesson is either completely irrelevant or the story completely pointless, and it's never entirely sure whether or not he's actually making it all up as he goes. He clearly has some secrets up his sleeve though, but you're more likely to see him bathing in banana pudding than chanting ancient incantations.<br /> <br /> === Ms. Mudd ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:ms_mudd.gif|right|Ms. Mudd]]<br /> Millie's mother, whose first name is unknown (except that it starts with M), is best described as an older, wiser, and perhaps more temperate Millie herself. Having been much like Millie in her past, and being an accomplished lawyer today, she knows all the tricks, rules and loopholes that come with raising Millie, much to Millie's own annoyance. And while Ms. Mudd knows how to deal with mischievious little fox girls, she's also the first to lend her support if there's anything amiss with her little sprout.<br /> <br /> Since she is living alone with Millie, Ms. Mudd has been looking for companionship, and found it with Llewellyn.
