Oh man please PLEASE tell me that I am not the only here knows who or what this comic book series is! Then again this was a shorty series from 93 till 2011 at issue 50. But also may reason why I like this comic is that this was the first comic that introducing me to the terms anthropomorphic and furries back in mid 90s. Now full disclosure I am not a furrie or even wanted to be I hang out with some at a antro con for a friend and all I can say is I think ALL ultra furs are NUTS and you know who you are! But any back in 95 one of my old school friend shown me a second issue of Shanda and I started to like the story ply line this was nothing like any classic style cartoon animal with slapstick jokes but more ina real slice of life style plot line.
For anyone that do not know this comic book here's the back story.
Shanda The Panda is a sometimes-adult furry comic book created by Mike Curtis.
Much like its predecessor, Omaha the Cat Dancer, the series is set in a world largely like the real world except for the fact that the inhabitants are humanoid versions of various animals, birds, reptile and insect species with some traits of their more primitive relatives - for example, characters rendered as American Bison represent Native Americans. It is the longest-running anthropomorphic slice of life comic book series.
The title character is Shanda Bruin, a Chinese-American panda and manager of a movie theater in a small city named Cedar Rabbits in Iowa. The series involves in part the personal and professional lives of Shanda, her family, friends, and her staff.
One important story arc is her romantic relationships with a cajun raccoon nicknamed Double R and her lesbian cricket bartender lover, Terri. Another storyline concerns their clashes with the villainous Wing and the emotionally abusive and bigoted ex spouse of Double R, Trixie. The comic has a cast of almost 50 characters, from infants to senior citizens. Several cast members and storylines are based on real people and events in Mike's theater career, such as an armed robbery and a riot.
If anyone like to read any thing your out of luck I have no clue if there's any reprint or relrease of the comic and to hunt down any back issues good luck on that. But if you ever wanted to know more on it then give it a read.
