A fond farewell to the fuzzy

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a huge fan of the Equinox: Defender of the Horde series. So huge a fan, in fact, that I read with dismay that the series is ending this week. Indeed, the last installment is up, the adventures of Equie, Marvah and Quatermass are over (maybe I should call him Xana'du now?) and all we have left are the archives of three series of often funny, sometimes sad, sometimes dramatic stories set in the World of Warcraft.
Equinox was kind enough to send us this image of the gang waving goodbye, and so I wanted to make sure to get a final post up thanking him for the strip. I probably wouldn't have rolled a tauren warrior in the first place without having read the strip, I'd always played Alliance before. So I can say that without Equinox's gallant defense of the Horde, I'd probably have at least three fewer level 70's than I do now.
Head on over and read the final strips, dig though the archives, it's all good stuff. Thanks again, Equinox. I hope you won't mind my saying that I hope this is just a retirement that you eventually return from, but even if you don't, what you've made is more than enough.

It was with a tear in my eye that I read the last installments, a piece of WoW storytelling that to me, has never once been equalled, let alone beaten.
Farewell to the Fuzzy

I stumbled on this quite by accident when series three was just starting. I promptly read the first two series almost non-stop and always looked forward to the next installments.
The finale was very touching. I will miss the Fuzzy :)

I've never heard of this comic, but I took a quick look at the series 3 opener and loved it. I'll go back and read it from the top.

I wept openly at the close of the final installment. It was beautifully touching.
Long live the Fuzziest of the Fuzzies.

I watched it up to the end of the 2nd "season". I don't know if I want to finish. there's a level 8 Tauren Druid sitting on Zangarmarsh because I watched that series and got all choked up and wanted to try playing a Tauren, but got wrapped up pushing my main on Medivh to 70. The series is so sad at the end, I don't think I have the emotional wear withal to get through the end...

I cannot access this link. Please fix it, as I was reading the comic, went away, and now the link is inoperative. I liked the first few I was able to read. It would be nice to read the rest.

Reason you cant read it guys is because to many of you ARE reading it -_-
