See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge A "funny animal", in practice, is an anthropomorphized animal, though the usage tends to lean more toward more "cartoony" characters, and does not carry the same wide, sweeping connotations that "furry" seems to have. (e.g., I don't usually hear centaurs and anime cat-girls referred to as "funny animals") Some writers and artists who claim the term "funny animals" for their subject matter don't necessarily consider themselves "furry", though on the surface this might seem to be almost a synonym. This is largely because of the baggage the term "furry" carries with it, as a number of people see "furries" obsessed with the sexuality of their fictitious characters. A "funny animal" is not necessarily a character in solely humorous situations, and not necessarily restricted to Saturday morning cartoon antics. The "funny" part of the term seems to more apply to the fact that these characters are not like *real* animals. User Contributions:Top Document: alt.fan.furry semi-FAQ Previous Document: 4.
