Since joining "Fur Affinity", I've been posting an occasional work of 'fat furry' art (from talents other than myself) from one of my specialized sketch books.
In addition to my two 'fat furry' sketch books (which I've been circulating all over the world during this decade), I have a giant sketch book (that was originally a ledger), which has loads of 'funny animal' artwork from a variety of contributors - from webcomic artists like Gene Catlow and Thomas K. Dye, to professional comic strip artists such as Jim ("Garfield") Davis and (the late) Jeff ("Shoe") MacNelly - collected over the course of nearly 20 years!
On the inside front cover of said sketch book, I'd provided a message for all contributors, along with a drawing of my bobcat 'fursona'. At the time I'd drawn this sketch (over ten years ago), I had an electric typewriter which was my main source of communication - before I'd finally acquired a computer of my own and began to frequent the Internet more often. Nevertheless, I like using said typewriter, and incorporated an image of the bobcat typing away on a device of his own. I hope you all enjoy this classic image...
P.S. Watch for more 'fat furry' images from other artists (from both my 'fat furry' sketch book and the giant black-covered ledger-turned sketch book) in the near future...

The last electric typewriter I'd used was a portable Sharp model with several changable daisy wheels - each one with a different font. In addition, going further back in time, I'd used a few manual typewriters, including one I'd used to make works of art with - such as images of 'Laurel & Hardy' and 'The Marx Brothers'. One day, if I develop "artist's block", I might post some of THOSE images in "Fur Affinity" (even if none of those art pieces have animals in them)!
Yeah! The Selectric with that changable font ball! My own mother have one of those IBM's for years and four 'elements' with different fonts, including 'courier' and 'script'. Of course, in those days, she had to use Correct-O-Type paper slips and/or Wite-Out for errors, before replacing that particular model with an IBM that had its own type-correcting ribbon!
I'm not sure what you mean by "wheel-shaped". To correct mistakes, the IBM model I used punched over the bad letter with the same character four times with a correction ribbon. I presume that's the Correct-O-Type system. My teacher also told us to use eraser pencils to correct entire words, because the correction ribbon was pretty expensive.
In other words, unlike other rubber erasers that are either oblong-shaped, or those little nubs at the end of a pencil, a wheel-shaped eraser is a flat, round piece of rubber (used for correcting errors), with a metal center that holds a special mini-whisk broom that 'sweeps away' the excess rubber after erasing.
As for Correct-O-Type, typing four or five times over the same incorrect letter sounds about average enough (just as you'd done with the correction ribbon), before typing the proper letter over the newly-made space.
