Doc Rat: Be True to Yourself

[theoldwolf]

Flopsy Jaegermond was not ashamed of being a wolf who loved a rabbit. He honored his heart, and look what it got him!

Nice verse!

OK, let's see what can be done at TAC. I'm not sure what the process is to create a forum, does Jenner have to make the request himself? Once the thing is up and running, I'll spread the word among my circle of comic-fan buddies.

>[Jenner] just set up a Facebook account this weekend
How can I find that account? I'd like to connect with him there.

Thank you. I'll set it up.

I've just discovered that significant activity moved this month from TAC to CrossTimeCafe.com -- which has many old friends.

That would be a happier home, I think, for Jenner's discussion. As you suggested above, TAC has been having a number of issues recently. And past the technical bit, there were allusions to discontinuing the free service. That seems likely to be annoying to forumgoers in the future.

The CTC folks are (collectively) a known entity, and perhaps Jenner's doings can help make the new site more visible.

There was a lot of history on TAC. A pity.

I was actually going to suggest the CTC, but wasn't sure if you were familiar with that gang. I agree that it would be an awesome home, even though Jenner is not directly tied to the CTC world. You're spearheading this effort, and I bow to your best inspirations. If there's anything I can do to be of service, please be sure to let me know.

I am indeed. I've been a fan of Freefall and 21CF for years, and the icon you see has Dr. Jenny Curtis in the background. (That image is a snippet of this one (http://level-head.livejournal.com/123797.html) of the Noble Webcomic Females. My beard is grayer these days.)

I take the stories fairly seriously, so the out-of-character and out-of-canon aspects of CTC don't work quite as well for me. I don't mind the fun, though.

I genuinely like the characters, with a special fondness for Florence Ambrose -- the "Tale of the Loyal Samurai" was a key moment in her character exposition, and I have lived that story long ago.

Scott still has the Poetry Corner on his 21CF site with my old dabblings. Speaking of which ... this occurred to me a few days ago:

There's a civilized gulf twixt the now-married wolf and the habits he'd had before
But this is not in millennia and he fears that any of his urges might might make a blind score
He's no meat-deplorer, but his look of horror on seeing his children's faces
Reminds him of his history. Are their new mysteries rising to prominent places?

And from this strip:


The Jaegermond clan had decreased
Until (with a "mild" thumpin') that ceased
Still Jaz did astound
(Now, they've got ultrasound)
By her "anuvver four" babies "at least"!

Don't they have a good grasp on amount?
Wouldn't Doc Rat have given a count?
Still the largess of bunny
Won't strike Flopsy as funny
For now "good husband" efforts must mount.

And he'll add a new wing, or new floor
Just to keep up the space for the score
As his efforts redouble
To keep tribe out of trouble
He's almost his own wolf at the door.
