Does Tesla know his eyes glow in the dark? Remind me and I'll tell you about my Trans-Human Lytransamorph comic character "Hawthorne."

As a regular anthro? I think he knows that. Oh, do tell me about him.

Waaaaaaaaay back in the early 1990s when I first found out about "Furry" fandom I started writing comics featuring Human and Anthropomorphic Animal characters in daily life situations, and one of my first efforts for Yarf! Fanzine was called "The Coyote Contraption." Hawthorne, a young human lab assistant was ordered to make a minor adjustment on a device which had something to do with "Meshing" events in time and space all at the whims at the operator. Unfortunately, Hawthorne tweaked the wires a bit too strongly and found himself instantly transformed into a "Class three" Anthropomorphical Coyote. He eventually met up with a group of "Exceptional" characters who had benifited from Hawthorne's mistake in changing the World, and with the guidance of a certain "Professor" joined up with others trying to adjust to their new abilities and powers. (I found out later the Author I was working with was getting his ideas from "X-Men" comics.) During a power failure, Hawthorne finds out that his eyes glow in the dark, much like those of a cartoon character would. Hawthorne also finds out later as he and his team are chasing "The Monster," that he has the ability to cobble together junk and make it work. (Say as in laying a plank across a bathtub and using an electric fan to make an "Airplane.") His powers only allow him to create these contraptions once, and so Hawthorne has to use his memory to recall if he had built the contraption he needs with one minor difference to make the device unique.

I stopped writing the stories around 1994 after I got into "Artist and Muse" for Rich Chandler's "Gallery," then onto Terry Wessner's "Fang, Claw and Steel." Hawthorne does make a cameo appeareance in an epilog from an Artist and Muse story here on FA. Working in a gun shop appeals to him it seems. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/758445/

Ah I see. Thanks for telling me about him
