Sorry, ego damage causes snarking. I've got a serious question here, because it pertains to my own interests.
Are you suggesting H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau a place in the, well, I'll call it the "furry canon" and you can correct me on my terminology later.
That is interesting.
I was fairly certain that, while a narrow definition would be contreversial (I'm sorry, I'm more into exclusions than inclusions), but I was pretty sure an agreed upon definition would exclude anthropomorphic animals as purely horrific elements. I mean, I don't mean that furry can't be horror; I think Xydexx is right for calling furry a meta-genre, if maybe not for the right reasons. But anyway, are you counting werewolf movies here?
This really is a serious question; I'm planning on a followup piece eventually, but don't worry, I'm going to wait until October. I want to talk about furry and horror and how I believe they have more in common than at first glance, or that they are at least much more complementary.
I didn't really like Moreau, though I'd kill for a furry adaptation of War of the Worlds ala Tod Wills' "Dracula." Or even just a period piece adaptation of War of the Worlds. I have a lot of problems with Alan Moore's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," but the second volume was amazing. Moreau creating all the British funny animal characters was a pretty good joke, and you thought the article was unedited and rambling.
