Hi Papabear,

This is the first time I've written a letter to a advice columnist before so I hope it comes out correctly. As of July 5th I have been engaged to be married to a Wonderful Fur. The problem is, because of the laws in the state where we live, we can't get married here. The state doesn't even recognize gay marriages done in other states; there is a lawsuit going on against the state for violating our rights and they say there won't be a decision until 2015.

What should I do?

Hello, Fellow Bear!

Well, you could wait until next year. So far, every state in the Union in which there has been a court challenge against anti-gay-marriage laws has seen those laws reversed by federal courts for being unconstitutional. There’s a good bet that this will also happen in your state.

There’s also a lot to be said for not rushing into marriage. How long have you known each other before you got engaged this month? Have you tried living together? Living together can be a BIG eye opener. The point being, it’s already 2014, and 2015 is not that far off, so why rush it?

If you really can’t stand waiting any longer, you could always travel to a state where gay marriage is legal, but then the marriage won’t be recognized in your state until that state gets its collective head out of its arse. You could also travel to a country like the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Norway, Argentina, Brazil, and many others, and get married there, but that would be a bit much.

Striking down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court found that it was unconstitutional to prevent same-sex couples from marrying. Thus, it is only a matter of time and the legal process in each state to go forward before it is legal everywhere in America (Oh, the horror for conservatives everywhere! Watch out, right-wingers! We’re coming to destroy the institution of marriage! You know, like Britney Spears did). 

Anyway, I’m pretty confident same-sex marriage will become legal in your state, as well, and, since it is already almost August 2014, I would say, just chill out a bit, enjoy the time you are engaged, and take this time to carefully plan out a nice wedding and honeymoon.

Cheers,

Papabear

I've been thinking about getting a tail recently, since they're super adorable, so I have a few questions if anyone could help me out.

How much do they cost, and would it be more or less worth it to make you own?

How durable are they? Do they require maintenance?

And lastly, how do they attach?

Andrew Dickman is a professional storyboard artist in the field of animation. He is also, in his copious spare time, the creator of the on-line anthropomorphic comic called Roomies. Actually, of late he hasn’t had much spare time while he’s working multiple animation jobs, so it’s been a while since Roomies has been updated. Which means now might be a good time to catch up with Andy, Swain, and Mary, the anthropomorphic college-age room-mates who inhabit this fair comic. Visit Andrew’s web page to find out what we mean. Andrew has said that he hopes to bring this comic back to life some day, so make sure to keep checking back!

Seriously. I am thoroughly endeared to this character. The most recent update (which I just saw) has got me all spastic with joy.

Any fans of The Elder Scrolls and fur-covered humanoids will probably appreciate.

The link provided (link) will start you at the beginning of "Prequel -or- Making a Cat Cry: The Adventure".

Also, for anyone else who follows this comic and is insanely and inexplicably endeared to Katia, let us confabulate obsessively about this poor slutcat we have espoused. GO ON. CONFABULATE.

Confabulate:

con·fab·u·late

/k?n?faby??l?t/

Verb

Formal

Engage in conversation; talk.

"She could be heard on the telephone confabulating with someone."

Also, if anyone needs me to define "condescend" for them, I can do that, too.
