Noble superdog and ignoble supercat save lives through the power of empathy and possibly a hairball gun

A Piggy’s Tale

V-e-r-y loosely based on real life events, A Piggy’s Tail, now on Kickstarter, is the action-packed graphic novel story of a good-hearted canine working to rescue and heal animals–and people–in need.

In real life (generally not as fun as the comic version), Piggy was a collie mix that was rescued by the good people of Darwin Animal Doctors, the first animal hospital in the Galapagos Islands (and for a “Where’s Waldo” moment, you can look for the comic version of founders, Tod and Andrea, in the elevator speech video). After being hit by a car, he was rescued by Tod and Andrea, and one of his legs was amputated–after he was shaved he looked like a pink piglet. Thus, “Piggy.”

I’m not sure if there’s more to Piggy’s origin story, but his comic book adventures have been filtered through the Ethan Young, artist for the vegan superhero indie comic “Tails” and not too bad at drawing anthros. After a little creative reworking, Piggy gets a few powers–most important to the story (and I suspect, inspired by the real life pup), his empathy lets him feel other creature’s physical and emotional distress, a sort of fuzzy spider sense. (I know, some spiders are fuzzy, but let me have this one.)

He can also fly, which isn’t generally part of a dog’s power set. That’s okay.

Piggy seems like he falls into the doggy mode of “noble, good-hearted, and trusting,” but his malevolent sidekick Simon, a cat with what I hope is a hairball cannon (otherwise it’s launching lumps of green soggy splatty stuff and I do not want to know what that is…) picks up the slack in terms of street smarts and, I’m guessing, one-liners. Together, they’ve got a great team, ready to clean up animal cruelty and undistress distressed children.

So far as the Kickstarter goes, it’s a nice little package, with some unusual pledge points–there’s the usual swag, tees and stickers and print/PDF, original sketches, walk-on roles in the comic, all those perks that tend to come with a graphically-intense project. But Kickstarters might also get the Piggy theme song by singer/songwriter Rose Lovell, and the Piggy video game. With the Piggy tee, totebag, and theme song, you can totally live the Piggy lifestyle.

All in all, Piggy’s a cute story for young comic readers, and a charming little book for canine fans, well worth a look.

I think the title kind of speaks for itself, albeit a bit cryptically as I didn't want a huge long title.

My question is: Those of you who are fully fledged furries, have fursonas, perhaps even suit, do you hide that fact by keeping your real name away from your fursona, or do you not hide who you are?

In other words: Is your fursona in the closet, or has the closet door been torn from the hinges?

The FRP game Pathfinder slowly works its way a little more furry with the new Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of the Moon. “Channel the power of the moon and turn the curse of lycanthropy into a potent blessing. Whether you were born with traces of bestial blood from a lycanthropic ancestor or you were bitten by a werewolf and have transformed into one completely, this volume contains everything you need to embrace the beast within and become a fearsome weapon against your enemies. Become a protector of the natural world as a scion of a werebear, revel in bloodshed with the wolf fighting style created by your ancestors, or find your calling in the witch practices of your werecrocodile forerunners. Even if you do not take directly after these bestial horrors of the night, there is much to learn from associating with them—as either ally or hunter. The choice is yours.” Sounds like several species are involved already! Visit the Paizo.com site to find out more about this new softcover volume, loaded with full-color illustrations.

To all of you furries out there: would you want to live in an all-animal world? would you want it to be human-free or would you live with humans symbiotically?
