He might have a point on the furry = perverted connection as it's often
connected to adult comics. Or was. I forget the one well known furry
comic back in the day.
Omaha the Cat Dancer! Adult content, well drawn, and interesting story.

The success of the black and white comic series created a deluge of
similar black and white attempts by cartoonists hoping for a similar
windfall. Typically, that didn't happen. Unfortunately with some
disastrous results for retailers and publishers:

I've never seen it, but as a comic book fan I guess that should be on
my list of rentals. Never collected the b&w series either, though they
were worth a frigging mint at one time. Archie Comics used to publish a
color cartoony TMNT and I've drawn my fair share of the cartoony
turtles for my students. Turtles and their ninja weapons maintain a
popularity to the present day. Absolutely.

He's a big '50s film buff and mentioned that his first VCR was $800.
You can get a VCR and DVD combo for less than fifty bucks today. Of
course, my first LED wristwatch was $106 with the tax and I believe
they're giving those things away as prizes in breakfast cereal
nowadays!

Yes, go figure. And while you're figuring, tell about your first
portable phone. Mine was the height of a DVD and about three inches
thick and another three inches wide. Monstrous in size when compared to
today's models that are smaller than a credit card and less than an
inch thick.
Miniaturization has been a good thing, imo, but the opposite occurred
with (trying to swing things back ON topic in the final sentence or so)
Iron Man magazine. I miss the digest size, fwiw.
Oh, and something that may be of interest to Boris Vallejo and Julie
Bell fans out there: Check out the latest issue of Maxim magazine, the
one with Angelina Jolie on the cover and on the newstands now, November
2006 - not sure of the cover date. Regardless, Vallejo and Bell have a
full-page displaying their Tenacious D artwork with Jack Black and Kyle
Gass in Olympia-worthy shape.
