- Associated student bodies
"Associated Student Bodies", abbreviated as ASB, was a series of eight adult comic books produced by Lance Rund and Chris McKinley in the 1990s. It has become a staple comic of the Furry Fandom and most every furry art aficionado is familiar with it on some level.Fact|date=September 2008
The story of ASB revolves around a young lion, Daniel, who goes off to college to share a dorm with a wolf, Marcus, and an entire floor of predominantly homosexual roommates of various species. The series accounts Daniel's discovery of his own same-sex feelings for Marcus, dealing with being gay in a hostile environment, and reconciling his feelings with his family and faith.
The series has inspired yearly calendar addendums, print collections, and t-shirts. It was written by Lance Rund to be a complete story with a definitive beginning and end, and so it has not continued beyond its original eight issues. Before a recent reprint, issues of ASB could fetch $50 to $100 or more on various furry auction venues, such as FurBid and FurEAuction.
On July 21, 1999, Lance announced work on an ASB soundtrack. As a sneak preview, he posted a link to a song by a professional musician and friend of his, Adam Browne, called "Secret Love" for which Lance had written the lyrics. The project never resulted in a finished product.
"Prayer For Danny", a song by Hali, appears to have been inspired by Associated Student Bodies.
The Gay Community
In general, this is work is regarded as a general look at the lives of homosexuals in a collegiate setting. Therein, the comic also looks into issues faced by gays everywhere such as coming out to family.
