Sabrina Online is a furry webcomic featuring the everyday- and not-so-everyday-life of Sabrina the Skunk and personages around her. The comic was started by Eric W. Schwartz in 1996 and runs to over 400 individual strips (as of September 2006). It is one of the oldest continually-published webcomics, having recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
[edit] Main characters
- Sabrina
- Female skunk, short white hair, wears glasses. Sabrina is shy and easily embarrassed, and enjoys collecting Transformers and computers, particularly the Amiga brand. An arts school graduate, now working as web designer at an adult movie studio and still not quite accustomed to the idea although she has considerably loosened up sexually. Although her boss has offered her roles, she does not actually participate in any of the films.
- Richard Conrad (R.C.)
- Male gray raccoon, thin. R.C. is attracted to Sabrina very much, but is also shy and often unsure of himself. R.C. and Sabrina originally met each other in an IRC chat. He is a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and his love for all things Microsoft caused some mild tension early in his relationship with Sabrina (this has not been an issue since then).
- Amy the Squirrel
- Female red squirrel, blond hair. Amy is intelligent, independent, and very protective of her loved ones, like her son Timothy. She too has been approached by Sabrina's employer to appear in her films.
- Thomas Woolfe
- Male gray wolf (though he is really a wolf/fox hybrid). Amy's husband, father of Timothy.
- Tabitha
- Female skunk, white hair with pigtails, Sabrina's much younger sister-they have an age difference of 20 years. Tabitha is a very young child, and acts accordingly. Despite her exhuberant and extroverted personality, she has shown herself able to give advice both wise and profound.
- Timothy Squirrel-Woolfe
- Male tan wolf/squirrel hybrid. Toddler, born January, 2000 (strip no. 121). Timothy is a reasonably well behaved baby, but is fond of hunting cockroaches and destroying Sabrina's collection of Transformers. He constantly speaks in baby gibberish which is partially understandable. He also has a very acute memory, and seems to have a sense for the value of Transformers.
- Zig Zag
- Female skunk, black and white tiger-stripes (her grandfather was a white tiger). Employer of Sabrina and head of Z.Z. Studios, producer of high-quality pornographic movies. A good friend to Sabrina, Zig Zag would love to be her lover (being bisexual), but her advances are always rebuffed. Despite this, Zig Zag has found that she really needs her as a friend even more.
- Max Blackrabbit (AKA 'Bunnyman' to Tabitha)
- Rabbit, all-over black in color. Had a crush on Sabrina, but Sabrina was never aware of this and he eventually gave up pursuing her. Although he is a canon character, he is also the furry persona of Zig Zag's creator.
- Carli Chinchilla
- Female violet-gray chinchilla, short hair and ponytail, glasses. Carli is funloving and fast-talking, and possessive of her husband Spike.
- Spike
- Male gray wolf, very tall and muscular. Spike is large and strong, but doesn't talk often, preferring actions to words. Because of his height, when he stands up his head disappears off the top of the frame. When his wife Carli says too much about their personal life, he puts his hand around her head in a fist.
- Eric Squirrel
- Male Squirrel, brown and light brown, overweight. Eric Squirrel is the visual representative of Eric Schwartz. Only rarely seen in the comic, and interacts little with the other characters except in non-canon strips that break the fourth wall.
- The Transformers
- Sabrina's collection of transformable toys who inexplicably have come to life with self-awareness and meta-knowledge of the transformer universe (such as multiple names for the same transformer depending on which series he's featured). They are led by Grimlock, due to him winning the election between them (despite the presence of twelve different Optimus Primes). The Transformers are usually featured as trying to protect themselves from Timothy, as he enjoys chewing on them. In a Toy Story-esque scenario, they usually remain motionless. Only Sabrina, ZigZag, and Timothy have seen them moving. Apart from evading Timothy, the Transformers also attempt to help Sabrina out in various ways, such as getting revenge on her boss ZigZag. They also have little knowledge of sexuality, and most of them think that such interaction is an ineffective data interface.
