How wrong is it when your comic ends up having the main characters treated as special appearances?

Why does this look like gay porn?

I mean, those three in the first panel are clearly about to bang the shit out of the two in the last panel, that's obvious.

I'd say it's good. If you're always depending on 1 or 2 characters things will get stale much quicker.
>>
>>89951356
It started as an inoffensive slice-of-life/gag-a-day comic inspired by Garfield but the author was sexually repressed for the longest time by his very religious family, so it turned into what you see here.

Now he is a raging furfag (he is actually bisexual) but the comic is still "SFW" so far.

>Why does this look like gay porn?
It's furshit. Furshit always looks like gay porn. It's something in the way they give every character a canid muzzle and the same vapid "oh I know exactly where I'm going to put this dog toy" expression regardless of species.

It's possible to merge both, but most writers (especially the furry ones), can't seem to pull it off. One of the reasons why I enjoy FFC, actually
>>
>>89951854

His standalone art is getting lewder with every new drawing. Sooner or latter he'll start posting nude mature pinups and such.

The web adress is right there in every strip.

Why do people make this stupid question every time in webcomic threads?

>>89962867
Because sometimes people, are both very sick and very tired, and don't have the time to look at the strips? That could be a reason you know.

How exactly would a religious background turn him into a furry degenerate? That's like saying, reading manga with shotas in it, will turn you into a pedo. That's not how logic works.
>>
>>89963427
See >>89951854. He didn't have a healthy sexual development, his furry comics became his outlet for that frustration and later his main sexual interest.

I don't see how that doesn't make sense.
>>
>>89963371
It's all "clean" so far. Extremely suggestive, yes, but still clean. As i said, featureless crotch, nipple-less breasts, etc.

The guy still has to cross the line where he starts drawing bits on his characters.

Well, given he's got a religious background, we know he's easily susceptible to dumb ideas.

And since the talk is mainly about this, which is worse; houspets! or Wuffle?

Wuffle, hands down, is worse in this regard

I was specifically asking which is the worse "SFW" comic but you kinda answered it anyway.

Overescapism, lust, and self indulgence is what furries are entirely based on and the way it affects them, their life, their family, and their mental health, paints them as a real life cautionary tale

he slipped into atheism, and became a furry. So I'm not surprised his cosmology is nonsensical, and complete and utter shit. like, is there even a single actually benevolent god in his cosmology?

Everything that happens is excused under the idea that the gods only care about eternal souls for some reason, but then griffin guy gets in trouble for his fuckery on that front and gets off with a slap on the wrist.

Because this is a furry comic. I'm more bothered by how Morbi put all that effort in building a universe that could have no humans in it yet still put them in.
>>
>>89964663
Furries were flaming faggots years before it became trendy.
>>
>>89964782
Yes but putting that stuff in a comic "for all ages" was always out of the question until now.
>>
>>89964782
Gays are actually the minority. Bi is the majority followed by straight. The orginal group were heavily into the xenophilia aspect of humans hooking up with aliens that looked like animal people.
>>
>>89964811
Since when was this all ages? Kids shouldn't even be on the Internet unsupervised, if they find a bunch of gay softcover porn featuring anthropomorphic animals you got off lucky.
>>
>>89964565
Yes, that's true. But letting them openly flaunt such behavior is just as bad, if not worse. A line has to be drawn somewhere.
>>
>>89964760
Morbi's logic seems to be that "humans are animals so there really shouldn't be anything special about their presence in a world of other talking animals."
Unless it turns out humans secretly created Flora or some other HFY bullshit, it's a harmless inclusion.
>>
>>89964037
All of his work is like that. It's so fetishy but it never breaks the SFW line so it all kinda feels a little weird. It sits in this chasm of not being porn enough to be porn but it's not actually something you would show to family or friends either. It's kind of upsetting really, he can draw some nice girls but never goes full NSFW.
>>
>>89964760
>He's been forced to live a mortal lifetime.
Prior to losing the game he tried to fuck with Joel/King's soul which was the only big no-no they were concerned with.

>They're not supposed to mess with mortals in the first place.
It was specified they only care about the immortal soul. Even if they did care about the screwing with mortals bit, they did absolutely zilch to stop it.
>>
>>89964818
>Bi is the majority followed by straight
Citation needed. People keep spouting this but can only ever fall back on muh feels.
>>
>>89964935
Except he fucked that up. Since humans aren't just common sights/people about they become special due to them being rare. Also, the first and only human, so far, is a very powerful witch and working for one of the most powerful.important figures in the comic's setting.
>>
>>89964935
No, you see, he thinks it's clever beacause you don't expect humans that way when it's just a waste of effort, really. It's pointless if you're gonna have humans anyway.

>>89964956
Well, they ARE supposed to be hypocritical idiots. And when you consider that he is an atheist, it makes more sense.
>>
>>89964978
Anytime polls/surveys are done that's what comes up and there is more porn straight furry porn than there is gay furry porn. Think about it, if the furry fandom is supposed to be ultra gay why is there so much straight and solo female porn?
>>
>>89964978
They mean furries, not the general population. So they're right on this one as that is the trend in furry media (pornsites).
>>
>>89965022
I'm admittedly pissed off they never ended up punching out any of the gods. All of them were annoying in one way or another even though I think Rick was trying to make the kitsune faggot endearing.
>>
>>89964956
Doesn't help that humans apparently have it hard trying to get into Heaven, whereas the sapient anthropomorphic animals generally get a free pass. He really isn't hiding his dislike of the human form well, is he?
>>
>>89965022
The whole gods arc was bungled on a storytelling level, though. Rick built up to this big confrontation, with King having a major part. Instead that gets passed off to his barely involved girlfriend and King's job turns into going "hey guys, let's just not play along with this." I doubt Rick had any coherent direction with it all, just throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what stuck.
>>
>>89965066
The only thing you can hurt is their pride and both Petey and Dragon got hit pretty hard there.

Granted, Tarot isn't a much better choice.
>>
>>89965032
Because the total gay population (in America, at least) is something like 3%. It's entirely possible for them to be disproportionately common, and obnoxiously loud, while still being outnumbered by a significant margin.
>>
>>89965185
Not them butt I think I know what they mean.
>>
>>89964760
>I'm more bothered by how Morbi put all that effort in building a universe that could have no humans in it yet still put them in.
That was the exact moment when I dropped the comic.
>>
>>89965205
But she actually likes him, Tarot just wanted Peanut to spite Dragon and obviously doesn't care about him in the same way.
>>
>>89965302
>Tarot just wanted Peanut to spite Dragon
When did this happen? I thought she was told to play temptress to keep Peanut out of the game but ended up getting attached.
>>
>>89965286
Did you drop Endtown too?
>>
>>89965317
She claimed to want him as a boyfriend but treats him more like she owns him, which obviously comes from how she only sees him as something she took away from Dragon.

Dragon might have a stupid teenager crush on Peanut but she genuinely likes him.
>>
>>89965411
I'd prefer they both be out of the way at this point. Tarot's only good for magic shit (which according to the god arc resolution shouldn't even be possible anymore). The only interesting love life angle was with Grape.
>>
>>89965483
She's probably in cahoots with other supernatural forces now. Obviously not as good as a Celestial Being Of The Highest Order but it's better than being a muggle.
>>
>>89965563
>Tarot is basically a slut when it comes to magic
I wouldn't mind this would get played straight.
>>
>>89965594
A whore, you mean. One of the few times you could have correctly used "whore" and you fucked up.
>>
>>89964998
But she's not treated as being special because she's human. She special because she's the direct apprentice to a Mother of Magic, who's a cat.
>>
>>89966023
You forget the part where she is one of the special races that lives in the veil. It's fucked up because by not including humans in the story he makes the point that humans aren't special but by including them in the story and not making them common as dirt he gives them importance then also makes the one human so far an important figure in the world. His "humans are just another primate" isn't worth jackshit because the setting is not reflecting it.

now seriously, this comic is so fucking weird it´s unsettling.

now, It doesn´t bother that this is almost gay furry fantasy, what bothers the living shit out of me is that it´s gay furry fantasy weirdly pacakged in a PG comic, where themes and characters get stranglely suggestive but the comic avoids being more mature in any way shape or form.

also, the characters kinda act like children, except not, and they are like adults too at the same time, and they marry, and they probably fuck, and it´s all PG but suggestive, it´s dissonant, because you know kids aren´t reading that shit.

rick should have made the comic either entirely clean, or either more adult, this grey area is weird as fuck.

It's been sputtering along with a few meh-worthy storylines and a whole lot of joke filler. I'm not sure Rick really knows what to do with it at this point. I'd wager Fox's buddy cop shenanigans were inspired by Zootopia based on the timing, and nothing of import really came of it. Rick's probably going to gravitate back to the magic bullshit as a result.
