Jan

Who says guys don't have a fashion sense, nor do they play dress-up with (in-game) dolls? XD

Dreit • 08/26/2018

Oh my, just imagine Jan in those boots! :D facedesk (Also, it's 2AM, I am really tired, but I just had to wait for few more minutes to see new comic strip.)

Brighttail • 08/26/2018

Yeah... showed this to my wife and she didn't laugh, didn't even smile. She simply looked up at me and said, "This is so you..." and sighed.

Yup.

Kangaar Foxfire • 08/26/2018

JAN'S A TWINK! Yay!

(What game is he playing exactly?)

jprime • 08/26/2018

So footwear's a thing in this world's games, but not in the actual world?

OmegaWolf • 08/26/2018

Poor Jan. And that avatar, looksbit like Amber though few differences.

Panther • 08/26/2018

The best way to make your girlfriend to shut up is to say to her she has a cute mouth =^_^=

I'm out and far far away ^_^"

looks at own wardrobe

JSStryker • 08/26/2018

@Kangaar Foxfire with the placement of the minimap and his buff indicator (upper right) and the placement of his Hit point indicator (upper left), I'd say it was a furry version of World of Warcraft.

soriac • 08/26/2018

Well, to be fair, game armor is designed to fit with most combinations, and Jan is absolutely right, fashion is overrated, it doesn't matter how you dress, somewhere someone will always say that it doesn't match at all, usually the girlfriend two hours later after giving advice :-)

And it actually IS interesting to mention boots in a world of anthropomorphic digitigrade animals, at least we haven't seen some yet. Or is it more like a pawswrap? :-)

Interstate2011 • 08/26/2018

@soriac And unguligrade animals, too. Those are the kinds that walk on the tips of their toes. Phil, being a horse, is one of those kinds.

And why does Amber have to make such a personal remark?

Robin Bobcat • 08/26/2018

That said, video game companies have found that if a game has any sort of customizable avatar options, sales increase noticably among female players.

Saaruuk • 08/26/2018

@Interstate2011.....Amber's his live-in girlfriend.....she's authorized.....din't you know that? :-D

ndrvr • 08/26/2018

Heh, my wardrobe looks even worse, also "function over fashion". And i wear it until it comes apart at the seams ^^. Ramblings about my sense of no-fashion I counter with "i gladly wear that $2000 smoking if you pay."

...ah, that silence afterwards........priceless ^^...

nyster • 08/26/2018

@Jsstryker. That's not a furry WoW that's obviously just a worgen! X3

Mr. Stargate • 08/26/2018

Don't go dumping on meh clothes. I have fifteen identical style shirts in four separate colors. All my pants and shorts are from the same company and all are in only two colors. The closest I have to fashion interest is customizing LEGO minifigs in the diffrent games I play.

Shockwave07 • 08/26/2018

As a man, must admit often prioritize other things then fashion... Mainly because life can be expensive without it!

But games can provide a creative outlet...

AncientWolf • 08/26/2018

In a way, it's interesting that he's playing a female character that looks like his girlfriend, only with red hair instead of blonde. Hmm...a "Red Sonja"-like version of Amber? ;)

I'm an artist (and author) who creates and draws (as realistically as I can) human, near-human, alien, and anthro G.E.L.F. (Genetically Engineered Life Form) characters of various kinds, and they wear footwear appropriate for their species as necessary--sandals, sports shoes, boots, and for the females with digitigrade feet--formal shoes that look like high heels, without the heels.

@jprime, I suppose since Jan doesn't have puritanical humans in his furry world, they didn't end up with "NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVICE" type of signs and related health codes ("NO SPITTING ON SIDEWALKS"). Imagine trying to pick some human's chewing gum out from between pads...one of my anthro skunk G.E.L.F. characters mentioned that in a story.

Panther • 08/26/2018

................. My wardrobe is the same than Jan : tee-shirts and jeans ^_^"

Iceburgh69 • 08/26/2018

Many people wear clothes that are either durable or are cheap to replace. Many professions or hobbies are notoriously hard on clothing. Blacksmiths, for example, will often have a burn mark on their shirts, just above the waist of their pants. That comes from forge welding with flux but without an apron. Gardening, many forms of exercise, greasemonkeying, anything Wolf is involved in, etc.

Ace • 08/26/2018 • edited

I'm a girl with no fashion sense.

but I will put an outfit on my toon in wow if it looks good as long as it also has good stats.

Shockwave07 • 08/27/2018

@Panther: I have this to say to miss Minotaur, why can't all legendary armor be like this!

Panther • 08/27/2018

@ Iceburgh69 :

I quote : """ anything Wolf is involved in """ ................ We speak about clothes , not armors X3

Katnik • 08/27/2018

This is all I've got to say - https://youtu.be/EVXRMcJF3_M

Pufnstuff • 08/27/2018

@Kangaar Foxfire; Look pretty much like the UI for World of Warcraft.

Ephesus • 08/27/2018

Shockwave said it, clothes cost money in the real world. It's easy to grind for points or credits or dilithium or anything else in games, by doing literally the same stuff over and over again. As long as you max out your every stat so even the slightest %buff is significant, you won't worry about picking nicer-looking boots over tougher ones, for example.

Panther • 08/27/2018

@ Shockwave07 :

Miss Minotaur agrees a lot with you ^_^

Kangaar Foxfire • 08/27/2018

@JSStryker and Pufnstuff, Ty! :) I thought I was the only one who still played WoW!

Also @Pufnstuff, Q: Name = HR Pufnstuff but with a Totoro avatar?

Shockwave07 • 08/27/2018

@Jan If your still taking side comic ideas, what happens when Wolf gets invited to cosplay...

Silverwolf • 08/27/2018

Maybe he should switch to Destiny 2. Armor doesn't match? Use a shader.

WB101 • 08/27/2018 • edited

T-shirts and jeans FTW!

Dawn the DrMooID: Moo mooo MOO! nods (Translation: Dawn the DrMooID approves of Jan’s in-game color selections. nods approvingly)

@nyster That character can’t be a worgen... as it has a tail. :( Maybe it's a really really tall red panda? ;p

WB101 • 08/27/2018

P.S. Dawn the DrMooID: Moo moo mooo. (Translation: Just needs the SilverMOOn tabard to complete the ensemble. };D )

Mr.Phox • 08/28/2018

You need to check your priority in life when your OC in game got better clothing that you ^^

Shockwave07 • 08/28/2018

@Mr.Phox I think there have been very, very few times I've been dressed better than my game avatars... And those time might have been when the game plot demanded it...

Saaruuk • 08/29/2018

Jan and I share the same "fashion sense". I have 3 suits and one Tuxedo for work.....all in black. I've been variously described as looking like a cross between Col. Sanders and the Men In Black.

When I'm not working, it's ratty jeans held up with American flag suspenders, an equally ratty T-shirt, sandals and one of my old boonie hats. I dress for comfort, and depending on my activity at the time, safety.

I'm too old to give a rat's ass about what others think of my wardrobe/fashion sense. When I'm dressed for work, I can look quite intimidating if need be which is advantageous.

Otherwise, it's comfort and convenience over all.

I gotchur back Jan. :-D

Vulpis • 09/01/2018

I look at this and simply go..."And?" You make your game avatar look nice as well as having the good stats, because unless you're playing from a FPS perspective, you're going to be staring at that avatar for hours on end. (This is also, by the way, why so many people play crossgender characters...if you're going to be staring at their boody for so much time, might as well make it a booty you want to be staring at...)

Your RL clothes, on the other hand...unless you are, unlike Jan, in a job where appearance and fashion are part of the job description, there really isn't that much need. Get something simple, servicable, and that you like, and spend your money on more important things. Unless, of course, being trendy/fashionable is what is important to you. In that cse, shrug.

JDancer2017 • 10/13/2018

While I also hate fashion, the fact that Jan has bland clothes make him... bland.

drivernjax • 10/27/2019

Amber, don't you notice that his in-game character is a red fox vixen? Where do you think Jan got the inspiration for her?

Spodah • 07/01/2020

In-game you don't have to worry about comfort or finding something in your size. Not to mention that if a piece of gear has +charisma, you can tell.
