I agree. He is ruining Bridgeway. I feel the best way to get him out is to have the citizens of Bridgeway get him out. But the chances of that are slim. The only way would be to get some furry-tolerant humans into Bridgeway's government. maybe they'll have to do one of those "cul-de-sacs" (my French ain't good) where they throw the person out of power.

I know there are furry-tolerant humans in Bridgeway. Just as there ar human-tolerant furries in Furriston. But the only difference is that can those humans in Bridgeway express their opinions without facing consequences? Judging from Avariss's control of the city, I doubt it.

As I said a while ago, both cities have to work together for peace. And as I said earlier in this post, odds of that are slim.

Hmmm....Gene, is there any movement for furry rights in Bridgeway that is lead by humans? Y'know. Humans for Furry Rights. That Rolly guy seemed really nice. I'm assuming any furries that (are brave enough to) live in Bridgeway are probably living on the outer skirts of Bridgeway.

If there ain't no Humans for Fury Rights movement, there has to be some kinda movement against Avariss.

That's coup-de-ta.

Actually I would think state or Federal court judges/law enforcement should be the ones to stop Avariss.

A Coup DeVille?

Sorry, just with all the seriousness in the comic lately, I needed an outbreak of silly.

You can force it by typing "é" in your message. There are several useful entities, like "©" (©). You can always use the &+vowel+symbolname+; structure... As in ã (ã). Greek letters like pi (π=π) or mu (μ=μ) can also be used, though they sometimes may look weird in sans-serif fonts like Arial.

These humans are sensibly being "spit" from Bridgeway... I fear they are fading out form there. That makes things even worse.

But I'm actually more concerned on knowing what exactly Avariss has authorized to happen.

On a side note, am I the only one who noticed a Steven picture? It looks somewhat weird, what does he feel when he stares at it, if he ever does that?

This does not bode well. This does not bode well.

(And, yeah...I saw the pic of Steven. Looks like the troublemaker kid was right. Unfortunately.)

Why do I suddenly have the feeling that, somehow, Mikey is going to manage to implicate Steven in whatever is going to happen?

Movement? No, unfortunately there is no
organized movement to stop Avariss or to even
form any sort of structured opinion for the
support of furries in human cities. So far,
the only real organizations in Bridgeway are
those that you've seen represented by both
the troublemakers at the Festival and one of
their parents. The few places in human cities
that furries congregate (East Bridgeway and
the New Grandville restaurant as an example)
are attacked by hostile humans, and those that
feel that furries have the same rights as
humans are either quiet about it (Rollie) or
leave Bridgeway for Furriston (Maxine).

He feels a lot of things. but the predominant
feeling is his desire to bring his son back
under his control and have him fulfill his
destiny as an Avariss.

If Avariss has broken no law (or has enough
legal muscle to stretch enough of the law
without breaking it, as many powerful people
have) then it isn't likely that any Federal
offices will try to stop him.

It could be that you feel that way because of
the evidence so far presented about how
ruthless the elder Avariss is and how low he
has already been willing to stoop in order to
gain what he wants.

Oh my gawd... This painfully makes a lot of sense...

One of the most important things that I have
to do at this point in the story is to balance
the elements that represent the forces at
work in Furriston's world. What is it their
world that allows people like Michael Alan
Avariss to hold and maintain power? Evil on
its own cannot destroy, evil allied by either
those in agreement or those afraid to act
against it destroys everything. But then, are
the actions taken by the other side justified
by the degree of the elder Avariss? Is what
he is doing so contemptible that the furry
unity groups are justified in their actions?
Who's right, who's wrong, and to what degree?
The answers are not easy ones.

I will say I hope it doesn't turn into an all out shooting war - given the real deal going down in the *stans, the PI and West Bank, I dunno if I could handle any more carnage here :-/

That said, the characters in some way always "write" the story themselves, and if it's going to get ugly, then it's gonna get ugly, and nothing can prevent that...

PS: The "strategic" placement of Cotton and Marble's arms in the last GCP was funny as all get out. Cleverly done Gene - you regretting that SOTW includes SOTBF (Sight of the Birthday Fur) yet? ;-P

An all-out war is one their history has
already seen (the Animen Circle commemorates
its armistice).

True. But there is something to be learned
from what is to happen, and their world is
in a position to learn it - and improve.

I never regret having fun with characters and
their personalities. ^_^ Another reader, I
believe, made an observation (in the thread
specific to the M&T comic) that Cotton should
let go of Marble's paws. I wouldn't be able
to do that in my comic, would I? *^_^*

At the current point, everybody's wrong.
...And that's something awfully common.

Of course Bridgeway, as "the attacker" is wrong in a way bigger degree than Furriston. The thing is, this "attacker" status is definitely prone to change. How low will Furriston go?
