From the journal of Ardebast Raconteur:

Vawsing is a fishing community on the west coast of Pelaria. A fisherfur’s life is not for everybody. It’s wet work and you’re often on a boat for days at a time. One of the most miserable weeks of my life took place on a fishing boat. Let’s say that this dog wasn’t born for the sea and leave it at that.

My aversion for life on a boat aside, Vawsing is a fascinating community full of colourful characters. I think the periods of isolation make a fur more appreciative of good company. These are furs that appreciate a good yarn. As a result, my cup never runs empty when I visit.

Scalies generally aren’t afraid of water. They abound in Vawsing whereby they’re uncommon just about everywhere else you go.

A piece of common-sense advice: Avoid traveling to Vawsing during monsoon season. Storms hit especially hard on the west coast and smaller furs have been known to be blown out to sea by the wind. The town just about shuts down during this two week period as I found out one year. The inn gets pretty crowded that time of year as even the locals hole up there to ride out the storms.Forget about getting a room to yourself. The week following monsoon season is pretty joyous however, as everybody celebrates surviving the big storms.

Carja’s Notes:

Vawsing is one of the few places in Pelaria without a practical or descriptive name of some kind. I just made it up. A quick search of Yahoo! turned up one result: Barnaby’s profile on this site!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Wednesday Mashup. This week we conclude our look at the Animus Funnies main cast. One of the challenges this set posed was to add detail to the simple outfits the cast wear in the strips. I’m fairly pleased with the results. As always, click to embiggen.

Introduced in the same strip as Todrick, is his best friend (and now girlfriend) Nektara, with her trademark (when it’s relevant to the strip) flute.

The last of the original eight was that ladies’ fur, the Big Oonch.

Introduced later, came the final addition to the main cast, Deema. Here she is, cheerful as ever!

That’s all for this week. Next week is a new theme! See you then!
