Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Associated Student Bodies is an erotic Furry Comic book written by Lance Rund and drawn by Chris McKinley along with a number of guest artists, published in eight issues from 1998 to 2000, followed up by a number of pornographic portfolios between 1998 and 2005. It centered on Daniel King, a young lion who arrives at Leland College but discovers he's been placed in a nearly all-gay dorm. There, he is introduced to a colorful cast of characters and discovers his own same-sex feelings for a wolf by the name of Marcus Paxten (and, as it turns out, most other males in the dorm). The rest of the comic follows his journey through his first year in college, dealing with prejudices, stormy relationships with his friends, getting his conservative father to accept his sexuality and reconciling it with his religious faith... all while mixing in a healthy dose of porn, of course. Compare Circles, which is often cited as a Spiritual Successor but has none of the porn.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Since its publication, ASB has become one of the iconic comics of the Furry Fandom, and has received a lot of praise for its themes, writing, artwork and... other qualities. There are quite a few furries who strongly dislike it, however. It's up for sale at the Rabbit Valley Web site, though many people have read it through the use of file-sharing sites and image boards.Chris McKinley has since become one of the most famous furry artists in the fandom, having drawn the follow-up erotic folios for the comic and written the humorous spin-off Queerman and unrelated but still gay-themed Coyote River for the anthology series Spooo Presents. He's also recently opened up an account at FurAffinity, to the delight of many ASB fans. (Warning: The page is NSFW if you have mature artwork allowed.) Lance Rund, by contrast, seems to have disappeared off the furry radar completely, even requesting that his page be taken down at WikiFur.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Note: Throughout the eight issues, the main storyline is clearly separated from the stories that focus on Fanservice and (often) porn. So it is possible to read an intelligent coming-of-age story with very little gratuitous porn if you read only the first story within each issue and ignore the other two to four stories within the issue. | |

Timmy in a Well | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_15070c2b | comment |
Timmy in a Well: Parodied in very risque fashion with...guess who...when somehow Timmy ends up falling out a window during sex, is left caught hanging in a tree wearing nothing but a shirt, and the others have to get him down without a ladder. Complete with someone coming running with the news to fetch help. I thought I said not to call him that! Wait, I thought Timmy was in a tree? | |

PapaWolf | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Marcus, to Daniel, considering how he defends him from the gay-bashers to the point of ending up bruised and bloodied, and how he furiously defends him from his own father when the truth of his orientation comes out (verbally, but clearly he was ready to do so physically as well if it came to it). Also a literal example. | |

Testosterone Poisoning | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_371b253a | comment |
Testosterone Poisoning: David again; the first time Daniel sees him, he's showing off by carrying Vince over his shoulder (and later has him draped across his lap at the dorm meeting). He also a) enjoys Daniel sneaking a look at him at the urinal (and being awed by his size), while implying Daniel's size is less impressive by telling him to "keep it tucked in so it won't get cold" b) is perpetually shirtless c) is the first to suggest violence in dealing with the gay-bashers and d) is extremely hurt Daniel chooses to have fun with the equally burly, masculine Roy instead of himself (and complains to Vince that he's "losing his touch"). Tina even calls him "testosterone poisoned" in one story. | |

Coitus Uninterruptus | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_49334c8e | comment |
Coitus Uninterruptus: Outside the New Year's Orgy, this occurs when Daniel's mother calls him right in the middle of an intimate moment with Marcus. The latter even lampshades this by thinking "He answered?!" yet he is the one to keep things going—in this case, not to drive the interrupter away, but to make Daniel hang up on her. And because he's naughty. Daniel's response? "You're weird." | |

STD Immunity | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_77a8fd8a | comment |
STD Immunity: The comic ignores STD's completely, and condoms are never used by any of the characters, even though they live a lifestyle that would make it insane not to do so in real life. The usage of this trope is actually admitted in the foreword of the first issue, by stating that since ASB is a work of fantasy the spectre of AIDS and hepatitis can be "wished away". Unfortunately, it kinda goes against the comic's stated intention of being an "only-somewhat-distorted mirror of the kinds of issues that gay people in the real world contend with". | |

Good Angel, Bad Angel | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_8cbd311b | comment |
Good Angel, Bad Angel: The cover of issue 4, in which Daniel is tempted by Allison, features her and Marcus as these on Daniel's shoulders. She is depicted as the Good Angel, while gay, er, bi Marcus is the Bad Angel. However this could be a cross between Female Angel, Male Demon and some Deliberate Values Dissonance, since his father raised him to initially see straight as "good" and "right" and gay as "perverted" and "evil". | |

Ambiguously Bi: Some of the gay characters also seem to be Ambiguously Bisexual. Marcus has an old girlfriend, a lion called Allison, and is shown having sex with her in some of folios. In the "Secret Fantasies" folio, he fantasizes about a three-way with her and Daniel. Ricky has a wild sexual encounter with Tina in the seventh issue, which he is presented as enjoying and being more than willing to do again, and in a folio picture he has a foursome with her and two other girls. Vince, the deer who's the sub to Manly Gay David, is ok with Tina undressing, stroking and caressing him and is apparently shown preparing for a sexual encounter with her in the "Things You Never Thought You'd See" folio. | |

Hypocrite: Daniel's father is supposed to be a homophobe because he doesn't want his son living with a bunch of horny gay guys who do nothing but screw. Marcus boldly denounces this as biased nonsense... never mind that random and unprotected sex is all the main characters seem to ever do. On the other hand, it seems pretty clear that Mr. King was objecting to more than just the promiscuity, since he thought any gay sex at all was sick and perverted and that gays were going to Hell. | |

Suddenly Sexuality: Ricky is presented as the wild, flaming Camp Gay in the story. Then, in Issue 7, he takes Tina up on her suggestion to sleep with her in order to experience what girls feel like. After some panels where he's shown as timid and scared, he quickly turns into a powerful sex machine with her, and while he claims that he's only interested in Tina, a subsequent folio picture shows him together with her and two other women. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: In the first two issues, the artwork is rather simple and contorted, with the characters often barely looking like their respective species. In the third issues it has gotten notably better, and toward the end of the series it looks really good. | |

Calling the Old Man Out: Daniel gets an awesome one on his father, even if it does lead to a declaration of I Have No Son!. | |

Goth | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_e542d8c1 | comment |
Goth: Gerald plays the trope straight by dressing all in black, hanging out at avant-garde coffee houses, reciting a lot of poetry, and seeming generally angsty. | |

The Fundamentalist | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_f76842b1 | comment |
The Fundamentalist: Alan King is one, though he ends up being able to ignore his son's sexuality, if not accept it, once he realizes how he has neglected him and focuses only on making him happy. Being lectured by a priest on his beliefs also helps. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In Issue 5, when Daniel goes home for the holidays and his father starts getting a little too judgmental of how well he is or isn't doing in his classes, Mrs. King chides him saying "Don't be anal, Alan." When he mildly protests, she quips back "When have you not been anal?" This has an...interesting re-interpretation in one of the portfolios where it is learned that apparently Alan doesn't have a problem with how his son has sex, just with whom. Unless he's a Straw Hypocrite. | |

All Gays are Promiscuous | |
| Associated Student Bodies / Comicbook / int_fed441ad | comment |
All Gays Are Promiscuous: The gay characters are almost uniformly presented as having feverishly overactive libidos, constantly talking about sex and having polyamorous relationships with each other, complete with exaggerated sexual characteristics and abilities. | |
