Looks like … naked lesbian furries??? “Hot” doesn’t begin to describe it, you have to have a major element of “weird” in there. ---

Lesbian, yeah…but the furry part is incidental. The furry girl is McEldowney’s version of Bottom (got turned into an ass by a fairy), and the other woman is Titania, under the spell of a love potion. ---

_Note to Self: Cathode knows about the dreams. Take immediate action to eliminate threat, while making sure to avoid accidentally revealing plans via second-person imperative narration._ I weep for the lost potential of the OP, which would have had so many more views if the phrase “naked lesbian furries” had been included in the thread title. I suppose that’s true of pretty much any thread though. ---

Yeah, I’m so easily offended. Still, I’ve never seen a monkey butler making amends before. I’m assuming this doesn’t involve poo flinging … ---

I’ll agree that the title “Naked Lesbian Furries” would have probably brought more people into this, but really, would they have stayed? Also, I too have begun making Pibgorn an “at home” only strip. Check out Aunt Fritzi today – can we get her to guest in this Pib-Summer’s Wet Dream?

You see – this is why zombie strips are a bad idea – most of those links are gone, with that web-publisher’s decision to drop Pibgorn. And IIRC, we’ve had a thread about the strip this was resurrected for (I know I’ve seen it already, and I don’t follow Pibgorn. Although I;m thinking I should) ---

Pibgorn is now at [http://www.gocomics.com](http://www.gocomics.com) (along with the brilliant "New Adventures of Queen Victoria – the best new strip I’ve seen in years). It started a couple of weeks ago. ---

[QUOTE=Asimovian] Oh God…I just snorted, loudly, at work. Thank you for that link. 🙂 [/QUOTE] I seriously suggest going back to May 22 and reading up from there. The strip started on GoComics the day before and they do an “up-to-speed” introduction of characters. This strip is absolutely brilliant and funnier than about 80% of modern comics, online or dead-tree.
