WikiFur talk:Comic of the Week/1
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
The Comic of the Week is a way to feature the large number of high-quality comics that are popular among members of the furry fandom - and perhaps a few that aren't yet as popular as they deserve to be, too. You can take part by nominating a comic for featuring.

2011[edit]
- Week 48: The Suburban Jungle, by John "The Gneech" Robey (Nice artwork, and a long, established run) - --Leo Delgrith 19:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Great comic, but the article needs more work. --mwalimu 23:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- The artist has indicated that this comic may be ending its run soon. I consider it to be one of the all-time classics among furry comics and I think it deserves to be featured here before it ends its run. What can we do to bring this article up to snuff so we can feature it? --mwalimu 21:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- Seconded!--Graveyard Greg
- With a better article, certainly. --GreenReaper(talk) 00:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have since made adjustments to the comic's article, but ironically the comic is updated so infrequently now I'm not sure if it would still be eligible. --Equestrian
- It'll do. --GreenReaper(talk) 02:24, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
2010[edit]
- While not self-titled as a furry comic, this story features a world where magic allows most animalistic mythical creatures to disguise themselves in varying degrees of anthropomorphism, even to the extent of appearing fully human. Features such characters as gryphons, sphinxes, white stags, harpies, and dragons. floppybelly
- Sure. There's no time like the present. Let's get this up and work through some of the backlog in subsequent weeks. --GreenReaper(talk)
- It's good enough now. Featured. --GreenReaper(talk) 04:12, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
2009[edit]
- Week 38: Code Name: Hunter, by Darcy (Darc) Sowers and Matt (Gyrfalcon) Sowers [submitted by Rat]
- Seconded, and featured. --GreenReaper(talk) 04:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Week 35: Exterminatus Now, by Garry "Lothar" Webber, Alan "The Virus" Graham, Stuart "Eastwood" Edney, and Martin "Silversword" Faulkner --Jammingthefates

2008[edit]
November 2008[edit]
- Week 49: Tails From the Mynarski Forest, by Richard T. Matheson [submitted by 75.35.244.139]
- Seconded. Would be nice if the article was better, but this is certainly a deserving comic. --GreenReaper(talk) 02:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
September 2008[edit]
- Week 40: Furthia High, by QuetzaDrake. --Immelmann 13:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
July 2008[edit]

2007[edit]
December 2007[edit]
- Week 52: Concession, by Immelmann An Awesome ongoing comic, A very funny read. Jet 22:30, 29 June 2007
- Funny yet gory, serious yet over the top; and well drawn too! Gets my vote! :D --Tori Belliachi 18:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. --GreenReaper(talk) 21:52, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Week 49: Sequential Art, by Phillip M. Jackson. Not a specifically furry comic, but a good webcomic with a fairly large article. I also think it could use better public coverage. --Tori Belliachi 20:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)-
- Seconded! I love this guy's work. --Jigsaw Forte 03:13, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
November 2007[edit]

September 2007[edit]
- Week 38: Carpe Diem, by Graveyard Greg and others (Sensitive and believable treatments of GLTB issues without becoming adult-rated, all furry cast with real life personalities, available both in print and online, long-established run) --Altivo 16:02, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Seconded. --mwalimu 20:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I would like to recant my nomination for the time being, for a couple of reasons: First, while the comic itself is great, the WikiFur article needs more work. Second, the comic is on hiatus at the moment, and I think we would honor the comic better if we feature it at a time when it is updating regularly. --mwalimu 18:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thirded. --Aelius 19:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the nomination (and the kind words, Mwalimu!), but I respectfully decline being a comic of the week until the comic claws its way out of hiatus. --Graveyard Greg
- It appears to be now - at least, it's as good a time as any. Featured. --GreenReaper(talk) 00:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the nomination (and the kind words, Mwalimu!), but I respectfully decline being a comic of the week until the comic claws its way out of hiatus. --Graveyard Greg
- Seconded. --mwalimu 20:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

- Week 17: Jewel Vixens, by Nicholas Hardin and Steven Swanson
- Second -- JaeSharp 02:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Week 15: Bristled, by Stephanie Mebius, because it has a good article and currently has a topical comic. --GreenReaper(talk) 01:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
March 2007[edit]
- Week 12: Purple Pussy, by Shmorky. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stoneth (talk • contribs) .
- Seconded. --GreenReaper(talk) 01:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
February 2007[edit]
- Week 9: Cross Time Cafe, by numerous artists. --GreenReaper(talk) 02:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Seconded. I looked at all the nominated articles and Cross Time Cafe looks like the third best article of them all. (note: I don't know much about the comic) --EarthFurst 21:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- Week 7: Spider-Ham, by Tom DeFalco and Mark Armstrong (Nominated because of being a funny animal book by a major publishing company just like Week 2, 2007 winner Captain Carrot) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KendricksRedtail (talk • contribs) .
- Seconded. --GreenReaper(talk) 01:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

2006[edit]
December 2006[edit]
- Week 49: Lackadaisy, by Tracy Butler. Nominator's comment "Hi, I'm not a user here but I really think this deserves an awful lot of praise. http://www.lackadaisycats.com/ " —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.100.187.115 (talk • contribs) .
- The artwork does look nice. It seems to be pretty new, of course (just the four comics so far). --GreenReaper(talk) 19:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think the article is currently too small for Comic of the Week status. --EarthFurst 17:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fortunately someone wrote a good one on Wikipedia, which we've imported. It's developed to 22 comics this year, which is about a bi-weekly update schedule. Seems good enough, and worth noting. --GreenReaper(talk) 02:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
October 2006[edit]
- Week 43: Atomic Mouse by Al Fago and his brother Vince (nice article with pictures) --GreenReaper(talk) 16:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Seconded. I looked at all the nominated articles and Atomic Mouse looks like the second best article of them all. (note: I don't know much about the comic) --EarthFurst 21:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- Week 42: Deer Me, by Sheryl Schopfer --Gene Breshears
- Seconded. I like the animation style, simple, elegent, and a nice balance of cartoonish nature with complex figures, especially in the later commics. ----Leo Delgrith 18:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- I had to vote for this just for the bit where Viana was roped into helping with the convention again. :-) --GreenReaper(talk) 03:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
September 2006[edit]
- Week 38: Lacunae, by Silverblue
- Strong second. I looked at all the nominated articles and Lacunae looks like the best article of them all. (note: I don't know much about the comic) --EarthFurst 21:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
August 2006[edit]
- Week 34: 21st Century Fox, by Scott Kellogg (popular comic; very good article) --mwalimu 18:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- Seconded. Looks like a good article. Too bad the only image is a rating image. --EarthFurst 05:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fixed that, and updated it with some extra bits from Wikipedia. Could still do with separate character images, but it's good to co for CotW. --GreenReaper(talk) 21:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Week 33: TwoKinds, by Tom Fischbach —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.221.77.84 (talk • contribs) .

- Week 29: Kevin and Kell, by Bill Holbrook --Duncan da Husky 15:45, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Seconded.--Tom Howling 10:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- It's a good, long-running comic. Our article on it sucks, though. Heck, I edited it last, and that was back in February. :-) --GreenReaper(talk) 04:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thirded!--Graveyard Greg
- Week 28: Y?, by Chad Burbidge --
(U)(T)(C)
- Seconded. --SpazKitty
- Thirded. --Kitch 17:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- Similar to Mwalimu's note above, Y? is currently on hiatus while the author writes the next story arc. Spaz Kitty 19:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Fourthed It's out of hiatus now, so now would be a perfect time to feature it, IMHO. I like it's unique (And iconoclaustic to the fandom) animation style, and it's slice-of-life story. --Leo Delgrith 15:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Similar to Mwalimu's note above, Y? is currently on hiatus while the author writes the next story arc. Spaz Kitty 19:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

- I second this! Aaaamory 03:38, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed; it's a great comic, although the article could be better. --GreenReaper(talk) 08:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

January 2006[edit]
- Week 4: West Corner Of the Park by Jim Groat and Cuprohastes (Closely tied to FurryMUCK, features cameos by many well-known characters, jokes related to personalities and furry RP behaviors) --Altivo 15:51, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Week 3: DMFA by Amber Panyko. --MKerris 12:45, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

- Week 1: Freefall by Mark Stanley. --Kiranlightpaw 17:33, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- It features an interesting storyline and some quite believable characters, among other things. A pretty good comic, imo. :) --MKerris 18:19, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Another good long-running comic (I note that both this and DMFA have already been chosen as featured articles). --GreenReaper(talk) 17:02, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)
2005[edit]
December 2005[edit]
- Week 52: Faux Pas by Robert and Margaret Carspecken (Delightful humor, true life situations compounded by absurdities, superb drawing style, and long-established run with archives available online) --Altivo 12:33, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
