Anyone have any extra questions that should be added? Comments on the existing answers? Large buckets of fish to throw?

How's about dese kwest-yuns:

1) there seems to be a lot of references to future technology in the past tense; is the comic in the future?

2) Parents and families have been depicted so far as being the same species to each other and their related cast character. If this is so, why? Are interspecies relationships doomed to no offspring; are there any taboos about such things?

3) Is there are particular locale for Umlaut House we should know about? Jokes about (sub)culture in the U.S. easily fly over the heads of international visitors like the same would be for (sub)cultural jokes in the U.K.

4) How much time do you have on your hands, anyway?

I can actually answer one of the questions!

The story is set in the future; the storyline where Jake meets Rick's parents (well, parent) reveals this. And I believe Allan gave the exact year somewhere on these forums, where I'm too lazy to find it.

Just because it's going to be a while before I update the main page:

1: Yes, and I'll make a nice explanation of how I plan to do time for this universe in the FAQ

2: There aren't taboos as such, but there are slight fertility barriers. (Not as bad as the Suburban Jungle universe, but worse than, oh, say, the PDI universe.)

3: They're where I am. But I try not to make an issue of it.

4: Not enough! Eep! (YEah, I'm aware of the paradox of someone who writes a comic strip claiming to have no time on his hands...)

I've updated the FAQ! Huzzah!

And you get a picture in all that, too!

Aren't you lucky!

And there was much shouting and pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth! But that has absolutely nothing to do with this. And now...

As soon as I saw that "And now for something completely different" an image popped into my head. Richard Sebastian from Associated Student Bodies, singing thusly:

"I'm an astrophysicist, I'm okay! I watch stars all night and screw all day!"

Brain check on Isle[sic] #3, we have evil emerging.

Don't tell Saundra it was me, but:

ok, heres a question:

what is a 'yiff'?

/me presentes himself for the ritualistic beating of the newbee

Andrick · Post by **Andrick** » Wed Jul 24, 2002 8:16 pm

Here you go, Fallwind. I think you deserve it:

"Yiff" or "Yiffy" is a reference to sex or nudity as it relates to furry art/stories/comics or any other media of furriness. At least that's what has been implied by various internet sources. The current rumor I've been able to track down about its source is the supposition that foxes mating make this noise.

...

Its amazing what one learns once a body gets an internet connection.

Allan_ecker · Post by **Allan_ecker** » Thu Jul 25, 2002 7:23 am

I thought I'd got rid of that.

I heard that they used to say Yiff on the MUCK as just a friendly hello. However, people used the term during cybersex and the term meaning-shifted into the common vernacular, which is simply Furry Boinking.
