Crowbar
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
One of the long-running inside jokes of furry fandom is that of drawing a female character naked with a crowbar.
The origins of the joke are said to be a convention sometime in the 1980s. As the story goes, someone asked Steve Gallacci to draw a picture of Erma Felna naked. He declined, but Jim Groat who was nearby and overheard the conversation, asked again in a whiny fanboy voice to draw her naked, and with a crowbar. [1]
Since then, it has become something of a cliché/running joke that any artist in the furry fandom will at some point produce a picture of a female naked with a crowbar, or that any sufficiently well-known female character will be drawn naked with a crowbar (one recent LiveJournal discussion mentioned Florence Ambrose). Some artists have done one or more pictures specifically to pay homage to the joke. It has been parodied in a few stories, including Sabrina Online: The Story, and even made it into one edition of an SNES game. [2]
