Furries in a library comic

All week the Unabridged comic has been running a sequence that shows what each library staff member was doing on Christmas, tied together by phone calls to each from youth services librarian Dewey (who is home sick in bed with the flu on Christmas day.) In today's strip, Buddy the Book Beaver appears. He's the library mascot and has been the brunt of many fursuit jokes in the past. We've never seen him out of suit, and it's been suggested that he is sewn up in there and can't get out. Anyway, a classic furry scene here.

For once the weather forecast was very accurate. The snow today began at 8 am precisely, when they said it would. At midday it was accumulating at a rate of about an inch per hour, and visibility was as bad as during last week's fog. It stopped snowing just after 3 pm, again pretty much as predicted. We got a total of about six inches of very wet, heavy snow. Driving home was not nice, but there were no people in the library at all by 3:30 and Harriet decided to let us all go home before it got dark. Yay.

Looking at all the trees covered with huge piles of sticky snow made me think of Walt Disney's version of Peter and the Wolf so after supper we pulled it out and watched it, along with a number of other musical short subjects in the video release Make Mine Music.

Gary has a bad cold. I don't (yet) but probably will get it. Off to bed where it's warmer.

Well, yes. Bucky has this problem that girls just don't take him seriously. ;p

MMmmmm... being sewn up in a fursuit actually sounds great. ;) And for that matter, so does a mascot/fursuit christmas party...

Here's hoping Gary'll get better again soon, too!

I dunno about being trapped in a fursuit. Real transformation I might consider. The Christmas party looks like fun though, and I'm not much of a party type.

Real transformation would be nice, too, yes, but it's not really achievable - being sewn up in a fursuit, on the other hand, would be. ^.^

He tries different things all the time, but never gets any interest. ;p
