Description Here’s Humford Fotherington-Boggis getting up to his usual tricks, assuming he’s not really trying to score. The abject wretchedness shown here is only made possible by a perfect storm of factors unique to the developed world. Where do I get my inspiration? From things I’ve witnessed, I’m afraid…

I cannot heart this enough. This is utterly amazing, and a chortle-inspiring look at what is often a nearly pitiable state of wretchedness.

Glad you like it! At least he seems to be enjoying himself.

Is there any particular reason you so often use weight to portary a character as unpleasant?

In this case I'm playing on common prejudices, though my unpleasant characters come in many shapes and sizes. It's best to view this guy as a horrible individual who happens to be very large, not a very large individual who is horrible as a consequence. This year I hope to take a step back from consistently unpleasant work and portray more bizarre but ambiguous scenes.

So this is what most furries look like out of their animal persona? I thought it was a troll at first trying to lure in a meal.

This is indeed one of the more horrific sights I've ever seen Mr.Flaxman, the other being a smashed up corpse by the sidewalk. Still, at least the carnage was a natural product of our world, while Sir Fothering-Boggis (Who for some reason I imagine is the black sheep in a family of royalty and politicians?) is anything but. I'm not saying that I'm quite comfortable with being near dead bodies, or for long periods of time, but I'd be more comfortable with them than this fat fellow.

Hahaha, this is how I imagine people I argue with online, or I picture them like this: [link] [link]

But dear God, that is the creepiest thing I've seen in my inbox this week. And you're right, it IS an ugly, chilling truth that there are things like this out there.

I know there are creeps and psychos in every fandom, but even reading the description of his character put me off...

I'm stoked you got a laugh out of it. That second link you sent is brilliant, I'll definitely pass it on. And as you said, the worst part is that attitudes like that really exist.

Cosmic--Chaos In reply to jflaxman [2013-01-23 06:57:34 +0000 UTC]

Any time, and that meme always makes me laugh

You're right, it's either terrifying or pathetic that there are people with those kinds of attitudes.

I love drawing anthro characters (they inspired me for years in TV, books, games, etc.), but I would never be sexually attracted to one, use them for a fetish, or drawn porn. That would be a gross perversion (emphasis on the gross) of something I like I advise people who experience any of those to seek professional help.

This seems to be a pretty accurate characture.

This isn't based on anyone, though it combines the worst attributes of a few past associates. I came up with the Humford character while reading youtube comments (I don't know what I was thinking, there are fewer faster ways to lose all hope for humanity). If all the worst examples were posted by the same morbidly obese troglodyte under several different usernames he'd probably look a lot like this.

Ha ha! I have to agree, I rarely read youtube comments for that reason. It's not exactly a pool of intelligence there.

I looked at Craigslist once out of curiosity, the "personals" section... I couldn't picture anyone on the other end NOT looking like this. Sometimes I wish pictures were mandatory.

I was just wondering if this is what you think all furries are like. I'm not insulted or anything, I just want to know.

jflaxman In reply to IVXxChimeraxXVI [2013-01-21 06:05:21 +0000 UTC]

This is exactly what all furries are like... according to Encyclopedia Dramatica. In the real world they're as varied as any other group of people.

There's also a good chance this guy's only trolling.
