Today I'm pouring over the page of  dogbomb. Yes, the guy being featured in the banner, universally acclaimed amongst seemingly all furries for his benevolence, good nature, and an entertaining selection of stories and photos.

After a few entertaining chuckles, I start to wonder what is going on. As a seeker of friendship and -- I admit it -- recognition, I am keenly interested in what makes a guy popular.

Basically, he's a humanitarian. Well, a caninetarian. He gives a lot of money to ASPCA and dog shelters, and volunteers much of his time to other people. He loves fursuiting and giving hugs and smiles to other people. So I guess people just spread his name around for being a fun guy.

I don't think I'll ever be as popular as him. I am being hesitant, however, in saying that my art is more important than my popularity. Because both are currently so low as to reach levels of "who cares?" But I guess I'll have to roll with it, keep making friends, keep making art, and remember, always, ALWAYS remember when to be serious and when to be silly.
