16. Furries don't bug me.

Thu Nov 12, 2015, 05:42 PM

Nov 2015

Not my thing at all, but live and let live, at least until they spill my drink. A very old friend of mine, a fine cartoonist, is a "moderate" furry. Goes to the cons, but I don't think he's a "hardcore" furry. He did introduce me to My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic, though.

I became a serious, convention-going, save every episode, participating member of the brony fandom because of him. And for that I am gonna come back in my next life as a squirrel and run up his pants leg.
