Re: Do you classify yourself as a "FURRY?!?!"
Thing is, when I was in high school in the early eighties, EVERYBODY in art class that could actually draw, drew what was then called "funny animals".
Sometimes they were more Human-shaped, sometimes more animal-shaped, but they could always TALK. I, back in 1983, when I was thirteen, came up with a character named "Johnny Blade", from the Black Sabbath song. He looked like a lynx head and tail stuck on a Human body.
Much later I came up with the character I take my screenname from, Archemedes Rex, Alpha Tauri Starship Captain. He looks vaguely like some Terrestrial animal, from the neck up.
Finally, in 2004, I discovered, inadvertently, the website Foxxfire(I was looking for Firefox but couldn't remember the name right), and frankly I was disgusted.
BUT, it was the very first time I'd seen the term "Furry" used to mean "anthropomorphic animals".
That term, "Furry", got me hooked onto a lot of good webcomics.
I started looking at a lot of Furry sites. My wife caught me, she thinks it's funny. Oh well. One of these days she'll get ahold of some mascot outfit and make me wear it. Outside.
But anyway, since I like drawing Furry art, and I like LOOKING at furry art, yeah, that makes me a Furry.
