Resuming my ongoing series of 'photo-ops' - now featuring yours truly with various anthroartists I've met over the years - here is a picture of me (right) with Funimal, taken earlier in the first decade of the 21st Century. At the time, he had just turned 50, and we celebrated his birthday by taking a drive down to Key West, Florida.

For the occasion, I wore a special one-of-a-kind T-shirt of a bunny gal - hand-painted by Monika Livingstone of California - which was given to me by Funimal's roommate Henry (back in the 1990s).

Funimal is best-known for his mini-digest series "X-Tra Spicy Tails", and was a former member of the long-running, 'funny animal' APAzine "Rowrbrazzle" (which, he claims, he'll only return to if they finally scrap up enough funds to start a website of their own). And now, of course, he is a member of "Fur Affinity". So, check out his stuff there!

(NOTE: This photo was supposed to have been one of the last ones to be posted for the November, 2009 'sweeps'... That was before "Fur Affinity" went offline for nearly ten days. Out of respect for my Cuban-born friend, I'd decided to post it now, rather than wait for the next 'sweeps month', in February, 2010. - R.C.)
