I'm probably one of the real hard core sonic fans. I have been playing the game since it's release back in 92 on the Sega Genesis Game Consol. I've played every Sonic game and found that they are infact intact with their roots in each and every game. 'Fans' need to learn the actual roots.

i like miles prower being called a female ,because she is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute, and lovely,and she is soooooooooooooooooooooooo rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

only flaw with the sonic series, attracting too much attention of hypocrite pervs who thinks anthropomorphic animal porn is more decent than their own species

As a furry, I know how it is, and yeah, this made me laugh about, 'cause alot of furries that are WAY over the top. Some are even into beastiality. But I've seen way worse. BELIEEEEEEEEVE me.

Problem, furfags?

@Ample Ryan
On the internet, EVERYONE IS FURRY.
Also troll.
Also trekkie. You see, all the nerd classes merge into one superclass that out 34's and out competes everything
Thus the internet takes over the world and it is revealed that /b/ WAS SKYNET ALL ALONG.
Also yay fanservice.

This is why I hate being a furry, too much drama over the little things. XD

Comic is epic, the only problem I see is when the hell did Sonic get muscles? XD

[url=#user_comment_36900]@blarg[/url] That is just a rumor. It is said that Tails was also supposed to be a tanuki(and Sonic could've been an armadillo). But he isn't. He is a fox and he is male. Just because it could've been that way doesn't mean it is correct.

oh yeah, you can really see how the artist made a deep, objective research into the furry community before deciding to make this[/sarcasm] >.>

like really? Did ya need to do it? Could you have at least ditched the costume?

@Fathoms the Fox: HIFF IN YELL,FURFAGS

I can't figure out how to use Photo notes.

tails was supposed to be female anyway

besides, tails is too awesome for that. i say to ditch sonic and re-make the series in the name of tails :P

thats not furries, thats just WRONG >.>

an no " yiff in hell, furfags" please. dont shove us all into one group cause of like 2% of the furries that do.

Hah, furries.

O.e fucking tails + sonic!?!

[url=#user_comment_34567]@RedShocktrooper[/url]: its teh boobies

I say fans kill any kind of creativity that developers could have they want a selfish recognition of what they enjoyed instead of trying to get something original or innovative

its good to respect your roots companies but don't milk the poor things until they are dry and empty

Whats funny is how many more notes are on the last panel compared to the second.

Why, this is the internet little Jimm- I mean Cesue. A whole new world out there. Full of magical things, things for all ages and types of people.

I'm 12 years old and what is this??

[cont]Therefore, it doesn't matter what SEGA does, it will never be good enough for them.

What the Sonic fancrowd want is to keep their nostalgic illusion that the old Sonic games were perfect and nothing will ever be nearly as good.

Sega have been releasing some good Sonic games every now and then, but the Sonic fancrowd apparently can't see it.

They want games like the old ones, complaining of any deviation, but they don't want more of the same. They requests contradict each other, they nitpick and they are never satisfied.

MM9 and MM10 WERE just Megaman 2 with new levels. Terrible.

The funny part about all of this is that they're not even furries. Just some people with headbands that have ears on them and a tail.

[url=#user_comment_34228]@alb16[/url] that is not true whatsoever

[url=#user_comment_34202]@ratte[/url] actually its pretty accurate since Tails was a girl first before they switched her to be a boy for sega games

[url=#user_comment_34064]@StarPilot[/url]: I wanted to say something about those, but I ran out of characters. :\ [url=#user_comment_34092] @Kono[/url]: They nostalgia for the original games because they WEREN'T boring. People are buying MM9 and 10, they would buy a true 2D sonic game even if it were just Sonic 3+K with new levels. [url=#user_comment_34100] @kdebones[/url]: *facepalm*

Not sure about the others, but for me it was the "Yay for stereotyping" / "Furry bashing is fun [/sarcasm] WTF JO?" style posts that had me going. Because I feel the best way to shut "OMG FURSECUTION" up is to show how much worse it could be whilst being just as / more truthful.

wait, why is most (read, all) of the rage coming from people who are not furries themselves, but are insisting that this isn't furry enough?
I just don't even know anymore.

But anubis pretty much IS furry.

[url=#user_comment_34205]@Harry[/url] Its what this comic is about, it ameks me lol so hard! Keep it up Jo!

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANSERVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE

*Looks down at previous comments*

...I "LOVE" the interwebs.

Needs to be full-on mansex to even be remotely accurate.

One more thing[/Jackie Chan Adventures]: Furfag and the posters who are going "Hah, nice page": They are the furries people don't mind on the internet. "OMG ANUBIS = FURRY!", "OMG JO HOW COULD U?", and "FUR ONLY 1% SEX! TROLL LIES!", those are the ones people are irate about.

Also, again, Vulpis does a very nice job of showing the fandom as it WANTS to be seen. Ask yourself this: If the sex obsessed is the minority, why should some 15-20% of Fur Affinity's Admissions be Mature / Adult-tagged, with those also getting over half the sum page views of FA? TROLL LIES?!

Woah, how long was I gone?

Time to bring the Stalin's Organ again.

And I rest my case: Anyone who does anything with anthropomorphized animals is Furry / Furry-involved. I'm glad to know that Edgar Allen Poe and Frank Herbert were Furries.

Oh, but self-admitted furs aren't tru-furs when they do crazy stuff. Funny how that works.

http://palcomix.com/tailstales/index.html

Go, eat it, throw up and eat it again.
NSFW, mind you.

Of course, the practice of wearing animal skins/teeth/claws/bones by hunters and shamans in order to 'take on their aspects' dates far, far further back from that. The sex-obsessed idiots are a vocal minority.

[url=#user_comment_34172]@Blanco[/url] Anubis? Yes, actually. The Egyptians were some of the original formal furry fans (formal in this case meaning specific named charaters, created media, and the like)...

[url=#user_comment_34165]@Batabii[/url]'s photonote: Tomorrow I'll CUT THE MONITORS!

You'd think that furr suit might be a warning sign.

It's not that hard to go out of the way. Here: http://e621.net/ Enjoy the tags. BTW, direct link in ITSELF isn't NSFW, but pretty much all the content is.

And if I had to guess, a lot of the people here are saying last panel's non-furry because they found Tailsette NOT repulsive.

There are always idiots on both sides of arguments, in this case, Furries who seem to want to cause as much trouble as possible, to go as far as can, and the trolls, going out of their way to poke fun at them.

Also furry here, lol'd hard. Though Tails would be male. The amount of Rule 34 for Tails is verging on obsessive.

Technically though the only furry is the one in the chair. The other two are more... I dunno. Humans with animal bits stuck on. I'm lolling at MANLY sonic though.

I've been reading all these comments and people are pretty harsh. Jo keep up the amazing work, Furry or no Furry, hate or no hate. Keep on keepin on.

Hey Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush series were pretty damn good.

[url=#user_comment_34163]@Ominous[/url]: I live in a place where that game would probably send you to prison.

If they make a Sonic game like that, I would buy it. But it would also have to have characters like Amy Rose, Vanilla the Rabbit and Rouge the Bat like that.

How to really fix the sonic franchise is to make Sonic Adventure 3. The first and second ones were amazing as long as they have the same idea in mind they can't mess it up as long is a chao garden.

No, actually, I don't think a furry would fantasize about human Sonic and Tails. c.c

[url=#user_comment_34153]@Xan[/url] That's the point: that's par the course for Sonic artwork on FA. I just grabbed what I could and bolted. It's not like there's any shortage of other works. But please, if you wish to learn more, just go to e621.net and search Sonic Tags. Jo went light on furs, and furs are still going crazy

How Sega can fix Sonic:

GIVE UP THE FRANCHISE IS DEAD.

How SEGA can make fans happy- release the next VF5 game in the US.

[url=#user_comment_34135]@Blanco[/url]: That's some nice "art" you linked, the "artist" is sooo talented. And no I don't give a damn about the content, the "art" is just terrible, couldn't you have used something better?

[url=#user_comment_34060]@bennyboy[/url] (photo note) apparently neither

WE REQUIRE MORE FLAMETHROWERS.

Furries? In my nerfnow? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- call a Pyro!

Furry here. I laughed my ass off.

By the way, what's up with the Franks all over the place.(Hurr hurr. Double entendre)

*gouges out eyes*

Personally for me this kinda begs the question of where you draw the line between "cosplay" and "furry".

To me, the picture on the screen just seems like cosplay because they both have distinctly human bodies. But its apparently INTENDED to be "furry".

lol @ anyone that thinks this is meant to accurately represent furries.

Sega is also terrible at taking care of regional online Phantasy Star games. Most of them died with barely anyone on them due to a horrid lack of updates or support.

Imokaywiththis.jpg

The strip isn't bashing...it's making a highly satirical point that most fans are torn about what they want. The strip didn't do anything that the comment feed hasn't pulled off in spades. Obviously this is serious business, not like I care......

THIS IS NOT REGULAR SCHEDULE. GAH. I want more TF2, or something. Some sort of real storyline of sorts. It was 30 pages ago that we had a TF2 (and a real) arc too.

But then.

I've already linked to the fact that Jo's "unfair / lame bashing strip" could have been made HORRIBLY more bad for the fandom, but apparently putting a tame shipping that many Furs wouldn't mind is so much worse than Futa Amy or Gay non-Kemonomimi Sonic Art.

I invite you all to think about what the feed would show if linked to the mind of Chris-chan.

Ah yes, the typical defense: Any of the others could be a furry too! Let me guess why, and I'm just going out on a limb here: Because it involves anthropomorphic animals? Just a hunch, but next are you going to say Anubis is related to the fandom?

Oh yay, another lame bashing strip. I do wonder--why is someone in what's pretty obviously either a Conker or Mr Nutsy outfit even caring about Sonic, anyway?

And something to think about here--it's entirely possible all three of those guys are 'furries'...

[url=#user_comment_34128]@Furfag[/url]: Just because your a gay furry does not mean they all are.

You made tails female just so others would point it out, but I must point out, any furry doesn't want a female tails.

Tails reminds me of Avatar

on Subject Sonic Adventure 2 was the peak
especially for the 3D games
It amazes me how they fuck it up

Yeesh. To me the only bad furries are the extreme ones that dress like this moron and embrace the extreme forms of fur-faggotry as their religion. All other furries get the short end of the stick due to this guy.

That's my two cents on the "furfags."

The guy in the costume is the only furry. And he seems to like animal ears/tails more than the furry.

There are three types of Sonic fans...retro players who prefer the 2D games, players who like the 3D games, and furfags.

But I agree with Missing00's photonote...I'm no furfag, but furry boobs are as good as any other boobs.

To prove I wasn't all talk, 3 artists' works on FA. Warning: VERY NSFW! Direct links too. Now if you'll excuse I have to find a sun to soak my eyes in.

I obviously BSed earlier. Jo totally misrep'd furs

Meh, lacks fur. This is not yiff, this is otaku stuff.

This isn't furry enough. Yiff harder, noob.

I also like the Androids Dream reference made on the chair, if that's what the person was going for that is.

Did someone say feeding frenzy? Well anyway, the only way that they can get me to buy another sonic game is to bring back chao garden, It was literally the only thing i cared about in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Or is it sonic adventure battle 2..... oh well....

dang that chair is good and all but what happens if to sit the original creators in that seat?

gives a new meaning to gettin some tail.....and apparently Jo, pleasing their fans is a "hard task"......okay, I need to go end my pathetic life now

Heh... Troll feeding frenzy achieved...

Sheesh, can't you guys just enjoy a comic? People make lighthearted jokes about furries and the Furs get all riled up. Then we got a goddamned flamewar on our hands. Then this whole little "Tails IS female!" bullcrap, IT DOESN'T MATTER! It's a flippin' joke! .... Okay, done yelling now. Funny comic.

I'd hardly call this 'furry.' Even with the tails and ears, it's not worse than catgirl pr0n. Okay, the really disturbing guy in the chair makes it, well, disturbing.

[url=#user_comment_34108]@Lobster[/url]: riff on scientology. DO EEEEEET! DO EEEEEEEET!

It's also kind of funny that after all the shots this comic has taken the "furry fandom" is getting all butt hurt over this.

Heaven help you if you riff on scientology.

It isn't hard to make Sonic fans happy. In fact, they're so loyal they'll buy any old crap that SEGA gives a "Sonic" theme. So that's just what they've done. Taken a stupid gimmick, put Sonic in it, give enough screenshots to give the fans hope, then disappoint them.

[cont'd] and tell me that it's both a gross misrepresentation here AND that it's only a very small number that care about such. Hell, look at the number of times the images have been viewed AND favorited). People in the Fur fandom need to stop throwing fits, lest more people do what I suggested.

Of course, she makes a multi-comic Mac v PC comic it's fun to jump on one side and mock the other. Makes a comic that is VERY tame for what could have been shown as actual Furry concepts (Join "SoFurry" of "FurAffinity" just so you can turn the Mature Filters off and look for "Sonic" [cont'd]

I once found a hentai doushinji where Tails turned out to be female. I kid you not. Don't ask me what I was doing to actually find it, I don't remember, nor do I wish to remember...

Oh dear lord, why?

I have heard rumors that Tails was originally going to be female, but those rumors were dismissed. There are rumors that he was going to be a tanuki instead of a fox, but nobody seems as interested in that.

Congratulations Jo, you are an average troll. I hope you are happy.

Oh, and since i didn't have enough room before; some furry is respectable. Something like this has very little taste and does not stimulate the senses; even if Tails has big knockers.

Bah, f*ck the "True" fans; look at the Mario Series, they've could have been split by the 2D vs. 3D Mario games but have they? No! The problem with the Sonic Series is that, and this is counter productive, it's way to fast. In the Mario Games it feels much longer and gives more content.

technically, tailes is male, yes.
but there are several comics that ignore that ;)

The problem is sonic fans don't know what they want.
Some have nostalgia for the original games and cry for the same thing again. But that would be boring, and they have nostalgia for different games anyway. Personally...some of the recent ones are fun games. Just not what the 'true fans' wanted.

[url=#user_comment_34082]@PT[/url]: But... that's where Leonidas is dining...

Sega does what Nintendon't :P

YIFF IN HELL FURFAGS!

Heh. Female Tails is old school by now. I would find it creepier if it were a male one in this pic... And I've seen it. Can't unsee @_@

Jesus christ, buy fem-Tails a pushup bra.

A straight fur suiter? Now I've seen everything

The same urban legend went around about Knuckles as he was pink, which isn't a feminine colour in Japan like it is elsewhere, so sorry to all those Furries but I'm afraid Miles and Knuckles are both guys.

Yamaguchi ended up with a compromise. He sneaked the name "Miles" in as his legal name; "Tails" would be his nickname, ending up with the full name of Miles "Tails" Prower which is a pun of the phrase "miles per hour".

Yasushi Yamaguchi, originally the main artist for Sonic Team, designed Tails for an internal competition for a sidekick for Sonic. The character was meant to hold a "deep admiration for Sonic." His entry won, but Sonic Team decided to change his character's name from 'Miles' to 'Tails'.

Actually its an urban legend about 'Tails' being female in Japan (like so many other things with characters.)

Hehe, Stereotyping is fun! :3

What's going on here? Why are you people mentioning me?

This is pretty accurate.

Seeing that Jo is well known for his "-tans", and I specially note the Starcraft ones; I find it quite funny someone actually talked about "furry bashing". xD

[url=#user_comment_34053]@TheBaron87[/url]: MegaMan 9 and 10 say hi. Well, there are leaderboards, but that's not really an impact on gameplay.

Ah yes, taking a shot at the internet's favorite punching bag.

i thought nitendoh owned sega

If post ends in doubles comic was never made

[url=#user_comment_34055]@memory[/url] yes. yes we do.

Do we really have to do the furry bashing here?

i like the joke here, it's so inernet-nerda-licious.

Oh by the way, Jo, you're supposed to keep them furry in the last panel. That's what makes it so creepy. This way they just look like two well-built cosplayers.

[url=#user_comment_34050]@Bek359[/url]: Hahahaha, what? I think they're complaining because it didn't go back ENOUGH. It's got the homing attack, and the speed is gone, how can you call it a carbon copy of any of the Genesis games?

In Sonic 4's case, the homing attack makes the enemies too easy, and the game is STILL slower than Sonic 2, 3, and +K. They've got some aspects of the level design down, but Sonic himself still seems to control like his older (more recent) self.

I think the reason that people are whining about Sonic 4 is because it didn't just go back to the series' roots,; it's a carbon copy of Sonic 1, but in HD. To paraphrase Spoony, when people played Sonic 18 years ago, they probably thought that they wouldn't be playing the same game 20 yrs later.

The problem is when these developers try to go back to their roots, they're NEVER comfortable with going all the way back. They always have to drag something from the "new world" back with them that the fans didn't ask for, or leave out the part that makes us miss the old games to begin with.

Tails is a girl for this... don't cut the feed. Hit record.

You know...This isn't that far off from what you'd probably see...

Which is sorta sad when you think about it...

Excuse me while I bring the brain bleach.

Worth noting that originally, Tails WAS female. "He" was made male for the American release of the game because...the main character having a female sidekick was weird, I guess? And like many other Americanizations, it stuck.

Of course this is EXACTLY what the censors FEARED happening. Hah!

[url=#user_comment_34028]@BarGamer[/url]: What has been seen, cannot be unseen.

Now it's Zack, I give up...

Tails was male before.

Jo, you're just evil sometimes. THE HORROR! AUGH!

Been there, done that. http://female-tails-lovers.deviantart.com/

To think, Tails was originally supposed to be female in the games.

I will never play another sonic game for as long as I live. Thanks a lot for ruining sonic for me, Nerf NOW!!

Pointing? You spelled fapping wrong.

CUT THE MONITORS

The look on the furfag's costume's face... priceless.

Also: FUUUUUU- GET ME THE BRAIN BLEACH

You mean "I know Tails is NOT female". Right?

Tails-chan is immensely hot, please make new comic w/out sonic
kthxplzbai

What is this? I don't even
