"Fat Furry News" #2
8 years ago
About four months ago, I'd posted a journal designed for those of you who like to see all sorts of fattened animals - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7960027/ - and now, it's time for me to present a second edition of "Fat Furry News" - loosely based on my semi-regular column for the "Fat Furs Mailing List", a Yahoo! group...
IDEAL GIFTS: At (participating) Target stores, you'll find in their toy department Fatimals - a collection of rubber wacky bouncing balls shaped like four inflated critters (a tiger, a shark, a snake, and an alligator) - which would make a great gift for the 'fat furry' fanatic in your life. Check them out!
'FAT FAUNA' IN THE FUNNIES: Last time, I'd posted a list of links to various syndicated comic strips with many corpulent characters in them (whether the main character is already fat, or fattened in a one-shot gag). And I have a lot more of them to share with you...
One of my current favorite strips is "Girth" by Steve Powell, the misadventures of an aging, overweight dog. Sometimes, the comic revolves around the dog's 'real world' (walking on all fours, and interacting with other animals), and other times, we see 'Girth' drawn as an anthropomorphic character (walking on twos - barely keeping his big belly from scraping the ground - and interacting with humans). Found in the "Comics Sherpa" section of the "GoComics" site, you can check out "Girth" strips at this link:
www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=csbjw
...and click 'Previous' to check out the paunchy pooch's past strips.
Here now are an assortment of additional links to more 'fat fauna' in the funny pages - most of them from "GoComics" and "ComicsSherpa". Get your fill of them!
