WikiFur talk:Comic of the Week/1

The Comic of the Week is a way to feature the large number of high-quality comics that are popular amoung members of the furry fandom - and perhaps a few that aren't yet as popular as they deserve to be, too. You can take part by nominating a comic for featuring.

Nominate a comic

Please nominate up to three comics below (preface with *). Comics must have an existing article - if you want to feature a comic without an article, write the article first, then nominate it. Note that both general audience and mature nominations are welcome.

Others may support a nomination with indented comments (preface with :, and sign your name with ~~~~. Support is not the only (or even primary factor) for featuring - the justification given for featuring in the nomination will weigh heavily, as will availablility of a high quality panel or title image representing the comic in the article, and of course the article itself.

Nominations

• Boomer Express by Tyrnn Eaveranth and Jakebe Sunraven

Seconded!--Graveyard Greg

• Balls of Furr - Ricardo Canheta
• Kevin and Kell by Bill Holbrook --Duncan da Husky 15:45, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Seconded.--Tom Howling 10:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

It's a good, long-running comic. Our article on it sucks, though. Heck, I edited it last, and that was back in February. :-) --GreenReaper^(talk) 04:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Thirded!--Graveyard Greg

• Carpe Diem by Graveyard Greg and others (Sensitive and believable treatments of GLTB issues without becoming adult-rated, all furry cast with real life personalities, available both in print and online, long-established run) --Altivo 16:02, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Seconded. --mwalimu 20:39, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I would like to recant my nomination for the time being, for a couple of reasons: First, while the comic itself is great, the WikiFur article needs more work. Second, the comic is on hiatus at the moment, and I think we would honor the comic better if we feature it at a time when it is updating regularly. --mwalimu 18:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Thirded. --Aelius 19:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the nomination (and the kind words, Mwalimu!), but I respectfully decline being a comic of the week until the comic claws its way out of hiatus. --Graveyard Greg

• Deer Me, by Sheryl Schopfer --Gene Breshears

Seconded. I like the animation style, simple, elegent, and a nice balance of cartoonish nature with complex figures, especially in the later commics. ----Leo Delgrith 18:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Y? by Gordon McVey --(U)(T)(C)

Seconded. --SpazKitty

Thirded. --Kitch 17:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Similar to Mwalimu's note above, Y? is currently on hiatus while the author writes the next story arc. Spaz Kitty 19:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Fourthed It's out of hiatus now, so now would be a perfect time to feature it, IMHO. I like it's unique (And iconoclaustic to the fandom) animation style, and it's slice-of-life story. --Leo Delgrith 15:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Alice Otter by Miguel Estrugo ('Cause I need her.)
• 21st Century Fox by Scott Kellogg (popular comic; very good article) --mwalimu 18:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
• Atomic Mouse by Al Fago and his brother Vince (nice article with pictures) --GreenReaper^(talk) 16:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• Roomies by Dan Canaan

With a better article I'd support that. Right now it's just two short paragraphs and no picture. --GreenReaper^(talk) 15:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• TwoKinds by Tom Fischbach
• Add your nomination above here. --GreenReaper^(talk)

I like this comic! It be drawed good! --SomeoneElse

• Week 1: Freefall by Mark Stanley. --Kiranlightpaw 17:33, 19 Dec 2005 (UTC)
