I think My Little Pony will be the death of us all. Because I'm looking at that and thinking to myself, "Oh, crap, that is quadrupedal funny animal." I think my understanding of "funny animal" may have changed a bit.

Perri Rhoades' essay and list (plus Fred Patten's essay which was recently linked to on the Furry News Network and furryne.ws) could definitely come in handy before I wrote my piece (though I'm actually pretty sure I ran into both years ago, but only vaguely remembered them). Unfortunately, my Google-fu is weak.

On one hand, I believe Patten's essay supports my assertations fairly well; however, Rhoades' essays and posts very clearly bring what I'm trying to accomplish into a more historic perspective, which my essay does certainly lack. I specifically wrote the original piece to encourage discussion; it was never meant to be the end all, be all. And, of course, your piece brings yet another perspective to the table.

I don't know if anyone but you, Perri Rhoades, Mister Twister, Sonius and me are reading these comments (and admittedly, reading through nearly a 150 comments, some approaching essay length themselves, is an almost Herculean task in and of itself), but hopefully this discussion will foster future discussion, or better yet, even inspire new exploration of the genre or genres or whatever of furry.
