Okay, I found it using Dogpile and took a look. From what I've seen there, it's
probably the usual "comics only are for children" garbage being enforced by yet
another bureaucrat with nothing better to do.
Here, look for yourselves:

*Sigh* When the f*ck will people going to learn that adults can enjoy humaniod
animals for their pleasure and thus not every humaniod-animal related product
is aimed at kids? Retards. >:-(
Is there any way to contact the Austrailian Government on this?

Maybe Paul can pull a Pete Townsend and say he was "doing research". LOL!
Don't drop the soap, Paul. :)
If he is found guilty, he is a child pr0nographer and should be
punished to the full extent of the law.

What disturbs me is the clear discrimination against "adult" comics and the
garbarge that comes out of Hollywood. Movies like ""Fast Times At Ridgemont
High" and "American Beauty" sexualize children, but they get a walk from the
courts. Granted, they aren't nearly as graphic as some comics, but comics
are ink and paper. Who is victimized?
One might argue that comics feed perverts' desires to the point where they
act out their fantasies in real life, with real victims. The other side of
the arguement is that it sates their desires so that the opposite happens.
Japan had long had what much of the world would consider "child porn" in
their comics, but they have a much lower instance of child molestation than
most developed nations.
There has been the arguement that even adult pornography will incite men to
rape, but some European countries, which had had porn for decades freely
accessable by just about anyone, have a much lower instance of sexual
violence that is found in the US.
I have been involved in searches of perverts' houses after allegations of
sexual child abuse and have interviewed convicted rapists and child
molesters as a prelude to their registration as sexual offenders and found
that porn plays less of a role for them as it does for many nonoffending
adults.
>> If he is found guilty, he is a child pr0nographer and should be
>> punished to the full extent of the law.
Just as a note, Australian laws regarding 'indecent' publications are by no
means the same as the ones in the US, from what I understand for example
movies -must- be rated by a goverment board, which assigns ratings, and if they
refuse to rate the film, it's a crime to show it (On top of the posiblity that
the'll give a unshowable rating) - there's been some talk of giveing the same
board power over austrialan owned or hosted websites. their 'indecency
statuets are also not as loose as ours..
In short, it's quite possible fo him to have run afoul of the law over his
content, -without- it being a 'child pornography' charge...
"You can have it Quickly,Correct, Complex - Pick 2"
If that is the case, then he might well have been vunrible to
prosecution with what he had on his web site. A nekked funny animal or
two would be all it would take.
If he produced violent art instead of sexual art he wouldn't have this
problem in the first place.
Let this be a lesson to you all.
Sex no! violence yes!
Violence is intrinsicaly more acceptable than sex.

I think in the reverse logic, not all anthro animal themes are all
adult-related, either. Nothing wrong with adults liking clean art
and stories for all ages..or liking adult furry characters when it is
shown and marketed to the correct age group with suitable warning.
As the mainstream media has proven, if you proclaim that you like
cartoon animals baring all human anatomy, most people will look at you
funny.
I hope justice will be served...whatever the outcome is.
Beware Australian furry animals...koalas look cute but are vicious
bastards.

IF Paul's lucky, a throbbing 12" pecker will be the ONLY thing violently
rammed into him from behind. Pedos rate VERY low in the pecking order of
convicts (and have a life-expectency to match), regardless of what
country it is.

Hee Hee! I just KNEW stuff like that infamous Terrie Smith page of Itbit
(a five year old slavegirl in Fangs of Kaath) talking about having
"happywriggles" with a grown man was gonna get Paul's ass into trouble
sooner or later.
And when you do, he's usually in drag.

No. They call YOU the perverts.
(And in O'Connell's case, a THIEVING pervert at that).
If Australia is anything like the US, justice is spelled 'witch hunt'.
There are far too many cases in the US that highloght groups and
individuals abusing the law to promote themselves and their twisted
ideals. They create monsters, especially when it involves sex,
persecute these victims through friendly courtrooms and tailored laws,
and use the body count to prove they're heroes then do it again and
again with the blessing of an increasingly terrified citizenry.
I hope there are sensible people in Paul's case who won't turn it into
a sick mockery of justice.

Ah. Would this be before or after a similar effort on behalf of Kate Worley, to
help with her fight against cancer?
The two most prominent current furry publishers have both done benefit comics
in the past... and it would seem once or twice was enough for both of them (one
even commented on the amount of effort involved, and said he wouldn't be doing
that again soon).

I have to agree. I thought about it, and I'm quite certain I can't remember any

Picture or written? "Fangs of K'aath" has a child as one of the

If he is found guilty, then you would be a child pronographer by the

Whups. You're right.
I don't recall the name in "Whisper," but in "Fangs" I think her name was
Yarim... or was it Tarim? Either way, those are both prose. I still don't
recall any comics he's written that had children.

Oh, I'm sure the Aussie authorities got more on Paul than just some "hit
buttered mice" to work a case out of. Something I'm sure Paul is not
100% owning up to.
Yeah. Get cracking. Ask Michael Jackson if he'll come over and bring

Kate never asked to have cancer.
Or, maybe you all can do it under the "Brian O'Connell Plan". Remember
when he demanded that everyone in furrydumb send him one dollar (1
dollar X thousands of phurries).
God, what a big brainfart THAT idea of his was. But then again, it DID
fall out O'Connell's skull, so DUHH!!!!!

I'm not sure, but was of the impression that he was busted, or at least
caught the initial interest of the authorities, for the content of his
website. There were some nekked furries there. In Fangs of Kaath, there
was a small child with too much interest in adult sex which may also be
an issue. However, I suspect the thrust of the case is on the old
"cartoons are for children and they must be protected from sex" and/or
the notion that the cartoon characters have childish features and
therefore must be child pornography. In either event, it smells of which
hunt rather an any reasonable criminal case.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I was there when they said that.
My comment was just a poke since it seems that now whenever an artist
has a bad day they suddenly get a benefit comic.

And I still say it. Since then, if Carole and I know someone that needs

Kate Worley never had a benefit comic, her partner Reed Waller did. Kitchen
Sink did two issues of IMAGES OF OMAHA.
I contacted Reed for IN THE ZONE, since he knew McMurry. He agreed to be in
the book, then never answered emails.

He has that weird X-mas comic on his site, the one drawn by Will Faust.
And Fangs of Ka'ath and his other stuff, most of that shit is old, seems to
me its kind of late to be coming after him now for that. Why didnt they do
it 10 years ago when it was published or go after Mu.

Yep. That notorious 'Brazzle page (drawn by artwhore Terrie Smith, of
course) was a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off eventually.
KABOOM!
I suspect that the Australian authorities have more dirt on Paul than
just a few drawings of hot buttered mice to build a case from. Chances
are they found more than a pic of Udda with a riding crop. Remember, the
charge involves not mere indecency/obscenity, but something regarding
child pr0n. Obviously enough of it to get the go-ahead from higher-ups
to prosecute.
Methinks Paul's not giving peeps the WHOLE story as to what's really
going on.
That's right. Be known as someone who has bought material from a
soon-to-be-convicted pedophile. That'll REALLY get you some friends in
the world of international law enforcement. :)

Oh yeah, that's RIGHT. Seems that Paul's leaving an even bigger trail
than Michael Jackson.
Ever see that MAD TV skit in which a politician claims to see lots of
naked boys in ink blots and oil paintings (there aren't)then accuses
the artist? Sounds similar in this instance.

Unlike Paul, Bakshi isn't an Australian citizen, living in his homeland (or at
least I don't THINK he's an Aus -- I'm too lazy to check right now). I've read
New Zealand can get like this, too.
Sorry, not my lookout for two reasons. 1. I'm not in furdom. 2. No
one's going to ask for any contributions from me (although I did do an
illo for the McMoo benefit comic) because I'm not in furdom.

Yes, "Furplay" has that website. And, gee, who do we know who thinks most of
the fandom is one great mass of corruption waiting to explode into pus, and
who also published a magazine called "Furplay"? Gee, I wonder...
In any event, actually reading the dialogue tells you that Itbit isn't
talking about herself when she mentions the "happywriggle", but about the
woman planning the surprise for Raschid, which Itbit has been sent to summon
him to. Itbit, as she mentions, isn't old enough to be a harem girl yet.
(Sakes, am I the only one that understands medieval grammar around here?)
In fact, Itbit goes on to mention that the food taster ("skinny lady - food
taster") wants to "happywriggle" with Raschid... hardly likely if, as you
insist on twisting it, Itbit were making a play for the poor prince.
(Anyone who thinks multiple wives is all fun has never read the history of
Solomon.)
If this is the worst he could find, poor Hirtes must be getting high blood
pressure... after all, how dare we have comics that don't supply him with
horrible, perverted images to throw back at us?

Again, doesn't matter. You're not a publisher. Also, you don't give
two egads and a balderdash if I contribute anything to any furry-based

ITBIT! Yeah, that's the name I was trying to remember!
I can add one further note. Although "Fangs" did appear in comic format, this
page was not part of the series. This is a demo page Terrie Smith-Wooten did
before another artist was found, and as such was never published outside of
fannish circles. I don't think the actual comic that MU Pubs put out ever
included this character.
Looking at the page it seems to me the art is her usual good work, but the
lettering is questionable (without space between the lines, legibility
suffers).
> Looking at the page it seems to me the art is her usual good work, but

You can blame me for that. She was not liking the way her hand lettering
was looking, so I showed her my old Ames Lettering Guide (known to
millions of students in drafting class) to "standardize" things a bit.
Well, it obviously didn't work all that wonderfully for this particular
uasge...

Uhm... I am familar with the Ames (I use one, myself). One of the features is
that it *includes* guides for spacing between text. I take it you gave her a
quick lesson since then?
Actually, I do most of the lettering now, using the power of the computer
(as is the standard these days - I remember the pain of making signs for
UTK years ago - but 'tis letter-perfect in just a minute with Word Perfect
and a laser). As you might have guessed, she was also using one of my old
templates for the lettering. What works for a draftsman doesn't necessarily
come easy to an artist, and vice-versa (I could lay you out a beautiful
house, but draw a picture - not a chance.)

LOL! Going from Paul Kidd being a pederast to talking about lettering.
Furry fandom. Jeez!
As you idea of what the likes of me is, rather vague ad quite frankly
-inaccurate, that's entirely debatable..
>You're not a publisher.
Welcome to the net, everyone's a publisher... Besides, dead tree publication
is hardly the only way to make a art/cash exchange, there's auctions,
comissions etc..
No, Steve's not a publisher. He's an inker, although that's not really
enough of a description of what he does.
Nowadays, everyone in comics wears several hats. Steve is a PROMOTER of his
talent and ideas, he's a SELF STARTER, not waiting for someone to tell him
to get off his ass and meet the deadline. He's a NETWORKER, lining up
talent to work with on projects he's involved in. He also happens to be one
of the BEST inkers we work with. When Joe Staton of SCOOBY DOO was lined up
with us for an ATOMIC MOUSE story, his was the first name we thought of for
inking it.
We are publishers. We will not be doing a Paul Kidd benefit comic so far as
we know. Doing those is like getting a gorilla to squeeze your orange juice
for you, when a juicer can do it with much less fuss and trouble. We ARE
looking into the situation and figuring out what is the best course to take
to help him though.

True. He's a pretty good artist, too, along with the examples below of his
many talents.:)

Amen.:) When you can get some info as to what's going on, though, could you
let us know? It's very frustrating, being this much in the dark.
Yours wolfishly,
The info-seeking,
Word is the whole problem is due to a couple of pictures he had on his
site of his own children in the bathtub, and nothing to with horny
underage mice, buttered or plain, or indeed anything at all furry, so no
call for schaedenfreude on a Certain Doomcryer's part.

Actually, the child character in "Fangs" was a mouse-child named Itbit,
who assisted the harem seamstress. Yarim was a mouse dancer who had
been permanently dyed blue.

We hadn't reached that part of the story before we'd ceased
publication; that was still several chapters down the line. If we had
lasted that long, we would have included that scene, although it would
have been drawn by the regular artist of the series. Itbit was
something of a provacateur for the troubled romance between Raschid and
Sandhri, but was not herself a participant in any other way, nor was it
ever even hinted at in the story.
And he seems to think I'm some kind of trool because I wondered what he's was
doing in the fandom besides looking for fame and glory.
It's a odd fandom to join for that, especially when I have -yet- to hear him
say anything about an intrest in anthro characters..

'Nuff said.
Of course, this all from Paul's POV, who would no doubt feel like he's
being "kept down by The Man" because of his genius.

Bullshit!
"Maybe Itbit become harem girl for thee."
"Best girl in all of palace."
"Make happywriggles all night eat cakes all day."
"Oh really. And what will open up this world of bliss?"
Even a furry is gonna have a hard time trying to twist around THAT
little bit of NAMBLA fanfic and make it look benign.
(Nice try at it anyway, Chucko)
Obviously. But don't expect Paul to own up to any of it. You furries are
all he's got left and he's not gonna risk losing that while he still has
a chance of conning you into even doing a benefit comic for him.
One of furrydumb's most "successful" being convicted of being a
pedophile. Oh yeah. That's gonna be a VERY nice addition to every media
reporter's "furries are bizarre" folder.
(BTW, when Australian convicts "toss the salad", do they lick clockwise
or counter-clockwise? Let's ask Paul a year from now, shall we? LOL!)
Why, yes, nimrod - since it was one of the only solid items in this
entire thread, I would respond to it. I had you kill-filed, but that's
pretty useless when everyone is responding to your bile.
Paul Kidd, who's never done anything to you (except possibly refusing to
accept your international collect calls at 3AM), has been in some legal
trouble, yes. I've spoken to him about it, and while he requested that
I keep it mum, I can say that you can certainly speculate wildly when you
have no information whatsoever. Remember folks, Australia is the home of
the kangaroo court, and a prosecuter out to make a name for himself
generally doesn't need to be encumbered by excessive facts - all he needs
to do is spin a good scary story - and we know how difficult it is to
ruin a good person's name with wild yet false accusations (for reference,
see the hundreds of cases where a person convited of "abuse" was later
overturned because it was found that witnesses were coached, or "repressed
memories" suggested by a phony therapist, or facts that would show the
whole case was a sham not allowed to be brought into evidence because they
arrived too late in the evidentury process).
It boils down to this - you can either buy Paul's version, in which he is
innocent, but doesn't want to go into details on the net; or you can buy
into 'Mazin Michael's wild theories, basing your opinion on the past
history of the person. Based on that, I'd pick Paul any day of the week.
Hell, I'd pick ANYONE over 'Mazin Michael any day of the week.
And for those of you thinking about supporting Michael, even tangentaly,
keep this in mind - Paul Kidd never did anything to Michael, and he's
willing, nay, wanting to be the one to throw the torch when Paul is burned
at the stake. I know that Michael hates me, because I remember his past
actions, and hence am a threat. But Paul never did or said anything
against Michael, not in public. See how quickly he turned on Paul?
Keep that in mind if you wish to support the foaming troll...

Bullshit yourself, Michael. Even from that one page, anyone with more
than a fifth-grade education can evaluate the content and put it in
proper context. It's obvious from the scene that Itbit is being playful
and is teasing the Prince, but is in no other way being forward with any
sort of sexual advance. It's obvious that she knows what sort of
hijinks go on in the harem -- kind of difficult to live within a harem
and -not- know -- but she doesn't have an interest in it beyond pairing
up the right couples (or specific couple in the event of this story) to
see them happy. The events within the story make that clear, and the
scene in question shows nothing more than a child's playful teasing. It
takes a person with darker inclinations to intentionally read something
foul into it.
But this has nothing to do with truth or misconstruance, does it,
Michael? The fact is, you care nothing one way or another whether Paul
is guilty, innocent, sinner, saint, or Presbyterean. It's just another
chance for you to kick someone, so you can glory in their pain and
lessen your own, and what better target than someone who's currently
down. You are a pathetic little person, Michael, who lives for nothing
better than for the moment that he can stick pins into passerbys, for no
better reason than that they are going somewhere while you remain stuck
in your own little mire.
You have our collective pity.

No. It's a cute little distraction. Kind of like plugging your ears and

Yep. Keep it mum. Even furrydumb won't tolerate a pederast in their

got caught playing "Archbishop".

Blah blah blah blah and blah! Yeah, Paul Kidd is innocent
becuase......he's Paul Kidd! Of course! How stupid of me. If it pleases
M'ludd we'd like to drop all charges and give the defendant a keg party

"'Mzin' Michael"'s wild theory is that there seems to be more stink to
what Paul's been divulging. No prosecutor is gonna risk making an ass of
himself by making any charges that aren't airtight enough to hold up in
a court of law. Ergo, there's more to the thing than some "furry pr0n"
on a 'puter somewhere.

Paul Kidd is BACKSTABBER. Just because it didn't happen on AFF doesn't
mean that it didn't happen period.

And yes, I will fully admit that I'd be more than glad, eager even, to
be able to bring the Duralogs. Takes a certain level of nastiness to
truly earn my ire and my schadenfreude, and Paul's qualified most
handsomely.
You do not know the REAL Paul Kidd. Oh yeah, you'll pull some more
bragging from your ass and dispute that most vigorously, but the fact
remains that you still serve a purpose to Paul, and that's why you only
know his _good_ side (for as long as you still serve that purpose, of
course).
> I know that Michael hates me, because I remember his past

Threat? LOL! I find it both sad and amusing (samuzing?) to think that
all you ever are, that you ever will be, is a guy in a stunted fandom
that pimps out his much more talented wife to the goobers. I'd sooner
prefer to be reincarnated as Brian O'Connell's buttplug than be anything
resembling envious or "threatened" by the likes of you.
You remember my past? OOOO! Mrs. Terrie Smith wants to rehash the PAST.
Try doing some living in the PRESENT, retard! Better do it soon. If even
artists like Larry Elmore are ending up appearing at rinky-dink cons &
flea markets, what sort of a chance do you think your ho' Terrie's gonna
have?
Better think hard about that now. Reality's staring at you, and it's got
MY face. AND it's grinning.
> But Paul never did or said anything
> against Michael, not in public.
In private, oh yeah. Backstabbing in the dark. Too bad I'm too much a
noisy bastard to allow him to keep what he did a secret, huh?
Like I said, there's more to Paul than what he allows the furrydumb to
find out. And you thought Bush was a hypocrite who hides behind a wall
of lies.
> See how quickly he turned on Paul?
> Keep that in mind if you wish to support the foaming troll...
Nice try at damage control there, goon. Too bad you can't spew that crap
in court however. Say all you want, but the fact remains that Paul
Kidd's in the firm hard grip of the REAL world this time, and that means
*I'M* getting the last laugh, and there's NOTHING that you or your
precious fandumb can do about it!
Hee Hee! Schadenfreude, baby!

Yeah, and all it takes is a poster-sized blowup of that panel in the
Australian criminal court to drive a nail into Paul's coffin. One good
long look at it by the jury and KABOOM!
Anyone know the address/number of the prosecutor's office? I'd like to
email him/her something.
This is one time I'm savoring the event where all of furrydumb's
self-perception of omnipotence is proven to amount to SQUAT when
compared to the power of Reality.
;)
Since that was the sole "evil thing" Paul has spoken about you, that's the
item I used, nimrod. And other than what time it was (which was only part
of the problem), you called him international collect just to be entertained
by him. He was too polite to just scream "SOD OFF, GIT" and slam down the
phone. I notice that you didn't deny calling him collect.

Paul is considered innocent because - he has a good reputation, people trust
him because of his known history. You are considered a nimrod because you
are... a nimrod, and prove it every time you open your mouth.

"'Mazin" - learn how to spell. And you've obviously not been paying any
attention to the hundreds of cases that have been proven to be totally
bogus because of what is generally termed to be "Witch Hunt". A local
case here concerns Dale Akiki - look it up. Child therapists "coaching"
children to say he did things to them, experts "proving" that he did it
all by bringing forward children's "repressed memories" - the man was
haunted for 3 years, held in jail for 30 months, and when finally all
was brought forward - there was not one trace of evidence that he did
anything wrong. His crime - he had a few physical differences that
made a few of the parents a little scared - so he MUST be abusing 35
different children.
"No prosecuter is going to risk making an ass of himself"? They do it on
a fairly regular basis.

Yes, I'm quite certain that given time, you could make up... I mean
uncover something not complimentary that Paul said about you. But that's
"character definition", not "character assassination".

Is Terrie a much better artist than I am? Well of course she is, nimrod.
I'm an engineer, not an artist. Don't ever recall saying otherwise.
According to the sources I checked, the origin of that phrase is unknown
and has nothing to do with the Australian legal system. Let's not make
assumptions about another country's courts just because of the existence
of that term. Stick to the facts of the case.

I stand corrected - the term did not originate in Australia, but was
coined by Australians. The earliest reference is from 1853, in the gold
fields of California. There were more than a few Australian prospectors
looking to make their fortune there (when, in fact, the miners made almost
no money - the saloons & mercantiles, they cleaned up...) Informal courts
were set up in the nearest spot of civilization (generally, the nearest
saloon & mercantile) to rule over claim disputes, or "claim jumping".
Since the Australians would connect "jumping" with "kangaroos", then it
was a simple step over to call the court a "kangaroo court", or "claim-
jumper's court" (kangaroo court sounding better). Since the courts were
often not very fair (slip the judge a little gold dust and you could
generally sew up the verdict), they were often not thought of as fair,
and so "kangaroo court" tended to be associated with a court that the
outcome was fairly predictable, no matter what the weight of the evidence
was.
No, but if I was about to make a call halfway across the world, I'd sure as
heck check first...

I can't find anything on the local news services here, but that's not

These are the laws he'd be prosecuted under:
http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/cens1.html
If he has "R" rated material on his website, and his site was hosted

That's because the case is about two years(+) old, by now. It started
as an accusation of "child p0rn," brought forth by a nosy film developer
clerk, involving a simple picture of Mr. Kidd's children playing in the
tub. Those charges did not stick, when, more or less, it became evident
that those pictures were just that: The pictures taken by a Dad, of his
kids playing in the tub. Instead of dropping the case (And lose face,)
they tried a charge of "Pornography," which are extremely nasty in
Australia, Law wise. Case is still ongoing.

To clarify, the "Pornography" charge involved Art images found on

Cripes.....as I said, "point/counterpoint", yet another effort to

Considering the source (Mike Curtis), that's high praise. You're not
going to find many endorsements of me as a person or as an
artist/inker (except maybe in Friends_of_Addlesee). In fact, I just
read a post in this thread where someone referred to me as a good
artist but a LOUSY human being. I suppose I was correct when I said
"betrayal is inevitable."

Mike.....thank you. This is high praise coming from you and I
appreciate it. I wish I was more successful with the many hats I wear
(besides my trademark tam o'shanter), but I'll always have the Maytag

day at Dragon*Con).
Again, thank you for the high praise.

Especially when we have the adult-artwork publishing house of Hirtes and
Hates doing the editing. Nice omission of the payoff, by the way.
Distorted the entire dialogue exchange beautifully. But shouldn't you be
working on Dubya's morning briefing?;)
Again, the dialogue makes it plain that Itbit is not yet old enough to be a

she rather likes the idea of being a harem girl... when she's old enough.
Again, nice try, Mr. Hirtes. If you get a favorable censor, you could even
get someone sued with tricks like that. Give my regards to the Bush that

So let me get this straight -- this crap has been going on for 2 years and the
site they are complaining about is still up, complete with the imagery they are
attempting to nail him for?
