At some point in our lives, some of us may ask - "How did my life turn out this way?" Sometimes, you may find it hard to accept who you are and the situation that you are in. 

When we created Furrie and Shortie, Furrie is usually the pessimistic one and Shortie is the ultimate optimist. They are ol' skool comic oddballs who stick out a little from everyone else (our inspiration are Old Master Q and our favourite San Mao). That is why Furrie in Issue 1 has an identity crisis and wanders into the jungle! In another incident, they encounter some troubling behaviours in society today, and in their own small and funny ways, they act -- for good! 

We hope that those who read this comic will believe that life, no matter the idiosyncrasies of your life or our society, demands you to be the most wonderful you.
