Customer Review: Nice story, in a soap-opera way
It's a "furries" world, peopled by human-looking folk who actually happen to be birds, dogs, or (like Omaha) cats. In a charming bit of counter-racism, no one much seems to notice, to the point that people of one species would be quite happy at an [um] exotic dance display put on by one of the others. That's where Omaha comes in, as a [um] dancer. There's no bam-pow action in this series. Instead, it follows a set of friends (dancers, millionaires, hookers, photographers) through trials and tribulations of family, loss, and the rest. The series has a gentle spirit, with lots of acceptance of people as they are. For example, this 1980s comic shows its gay characters sympathetically and has a laissez faire sense about what passes between consenting adults. That includes some fairly explicit exchanges of physical affection. It's always happy and consensual, but some people don't like seeing gentalia in their comics, so be warned. "Omaha" has a low-key pace, more for romance readers than for action-lovers. The artwork is B&W, and subject to erratic quality in the drawing department - that's certainly not why you'd buy it. If characterization matters most to you, there's a lot to like here. //wiredweird
Customer Review: the story continues! what an amazing read!
after i read vol.1 of Omaha the Cat Dancer, i spent months looking for vol.2. what happened next? i had to know what happened to Omaha and the rest of the gang! would she ever see Chuck again? then i finally managed to find a copy of vol.2 and it was amazing! if you've read the first book, this is a must-read. if you haven't, read it anyway! the story is great!
