Fenton and I went to a gaming convention this weekend, and we got roped into doing a Human LARP. I'm always nervous about anything having to do with humans (with the attendent risk of instinct loss) but we emerged with our natural inclinations intact.
Afterward, though, my grasshoppers bernaise tasted funny, and Fenton almost hit a low-flying traffic helicopter on the way home.
Humans are still prevalent in pop culture due to Rudy's old online comic, even though he hasn't drawn it in so long. He's since moved on to the strip based on Fiona, although he doesn't update that frequently due to his focus on the hunting team.
I hope he doesn't give up cartooning, since he seems to enjoy and it got him some much-needed acclaim. I think one of the reasons he found it easy to walk away from the human strip was that I provided the inspiration and he wanted something completely his own.
...Like a strip starring his girlfriend. snort
