Ok, the more I look at that picture the weirder that wombat looks.  Yet I am still overwhelmed with cuteness at the sight of that fat, furry, bug-eyed marsupial being cradled in some random stranger's arms.

I bet Brenna backs me up, but what do the other three girls think?

There is nothing on this Earth that is dumber than a wombat.

Especially a wombat trying to dig its way through a metal grid.

I've never seen a wombat before. You're right fuzzy, very cute.

Hey, thats Ursula Vernons site. I bought some art off of her recently :)

And she paints a hell of a lot of wombat pictures, so evidently she agrees with you, fuzzy.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

What I want to know is why both of you were at a Furry website?  Do we need to hold an intervention?

I vote we skip over intervention and move straight to execution.

Ya, it's a little weird looking, but it's still one of the cutest little animals to look at.  

Awww, look at his widdle toes and his widdle ears.  He's just so cute!

Yep, it's a female thing.

I read Ursula Vernon's livejournal, and she posted that pic to it.  Must we now start a flame thread about furrys and anthros?

Excuse me for a moment while I whine about the BYU servers.  

I can't look at Ursula Vernon's website, because it's blocked for pornography.   You know, must be all those naked Wombats or something.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I wanted to see about getting a print of the pied anteater for my sister.  

And I'm with you about the cuteness, fuzzy.

That's because a portion of her site *is* for adults only, so I hear. Be careful where you click.

Yeah, but apparently I won't be clicking anywhere at all.  :(   The only alternative I have is my roommate's dial-up.  Somehow, dial-up with a site that's mostly images is not appealing to me.

Ah, Ursula Vernon. Did we ever end up using some of her work for TLE? I know that is was scouting for illustrators that led us to discover her, but I can't remember if we ever actually hired her.

She did the cover for the issue that just came back from the printer.

Just for the record, you'll find out just how cute a wombat is when you try to hug it.  And when it starts scratching you with claws which are rather powerful, cause they use them for digging.  And when it starts biting you.  And chasing you.  I've taken care of wombats, they look kinda cute sometimes (When they're not filthy from rolling in the dirt) but they're psycho.  

And yes, I know what you're going to say; *that* one is being held in someone's arms.  Its a baby.  Not to mention the fact its probably horribly domesticated.
