How ingeniously done. You've managed to answer the question and be ambiguous at the same time.

Ok, now I'm confused. In this (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_849.php) comic, Amber refers to Fluffy as 'her', but in this one, she refers to Fluffy as 'he'.
Was this intentional for extra confuzzleness? :confused

Remember, Amber herself doesn't know (or won't admit to knowing). Therefore, we get both.

Sweet.  Since Amber has called Fluffy both genders, that means Fluffy is a herm.


I approve *thumbs up*

The comic was good. Nicely drawn, mildly funny, and had a bit of violence. I approve. That is all.

I guess it really doesn't matter if Amber or the readers know the sex and orientation of Fluffy.  The only significant question is whether the canon involves Fluffy knowing the answer.

I think Fluffy has XY chromosomes, but is really a metrosexual.

My two cents.

Not traditionally, but as we strive to be more multicultural, it's starting to make more of an appearance.  At least, it's marked on calendars now.

I'd hope Fluffy would be female with the whole....  bow...  I mean, Fluffy is too tough acting to be the type that's put up with it if Fluffy were male..

But hard telling knowing Amber...

And we all know Fluffy would cause the sun to supernova if anyone dared to check the traditional way of checking dog gender.

Just apply Amber's multiple-choice philosophy to the answer on Fluffy. It makes life easier.

Option #1 made me smile.  :3

When I used to write, I found that I quickly developed a loathing for all my characters. I'm not sure why, but people would come to be and be all "Oh! I love how you built up Character A" and I'd be all "Yeah? Well she's a WHORE and I hope she burns in the Lake of Fire".

Good times, good times.

I don't write anymore. Court order.

*Charles is generally abused by his characters*  Charline would definitely NOT be a favorite!  She's mean to me!   :<

To torment Amber, we should all pool our money together and give it all to her... in exchange, she must draw a comic strip background story for EVERY CHARACTER!!   By next year... which is in about two weeks.  :mwaha

I have a theory!

I think Fluffy was meant to be one of those running gag things, like Pat from SNL. However Amber accidentally tagged a gender onto Fluffy in that comic surrounding Fraggles. Rather then admit to an oopsie she simply turns around and does this comic the opposite, thus throwing Fluffy back into the confusion lime light.

Conspiracy theories for the win!

No, sadly  Abel has no backstory his story is the tramatic actual life story of amber's childhood...provided she was a male incubus named Dirk Biggalsworth.

Okay, on-topicness. We have the universal "easy" answer that parents have used when asked the same question about their children since kids were invented; the "Lazy = Good" answer, and the GRRRRR answer. Got your bases covered.

I know this was a little bit back but still, I don't think it's as much as she hates him. It's more of he's complicated to draw so she hates drawing him. >.> I hope this wasn't meant as a joke as I have a hard time noticing those things.  :goamber
