The most Safe For Work picture we could find.


Kit 'n Kay Boodle is a Furry Comic begun in 2001 by Richard Katellis. It features a married couple of foxes -- named, of course, Kit and Kay Boodle -- who live in the community of Yiffburg. They are always getting into small problems that are solved in one way and one way only: by yiffing (i.e., sex).

It turns out that they eat a special kind of berry which not only keeps their yiff drives up, but also acts as a contraceptive. Upon finding out that their garden grows exceptionally large Boinkberries, Kit and Kay begin to realize that they are the avatars of the Gods of Yiff, which means that their calling is to do what they've been doing (that is, encouraging people to go around in the fur and [[Insistent Terminology yiff]]) every minute of every day, only on a grander scale.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world seems (comparatively) normal, but the fact that they're not screwing each other senseless every waking moment causes them to be treated as pariahs by the Yiffburgians; everyone else disdains their furry ways, but the enlightened folk]] of Yiffburg know in their hearts that if only they opened their minds to constant public yiffing, they would understand.

The exception to this is the Karostropov Dictatorship, which is one part communist Russia caricature, two parts furry-fandom indignation. Run by an absurdly evil body-hopping spirit entity called Karostropov (who-- horror of horrors-- demands chastity from his host body in return for loosely-defined power), it is an Evil Empire down to the last man, openly and gleefully oppressing and murdering its own citizens for no reason but to highlight how evil and bad it is, and how horrible abstinence is, and how good and pure and innocent the residence of Yiffburg are.

Strangely, the comic opts for a cute, cartoonish style, which is a stark contrast to the constant sexual themes.

oversexed. It should come as no surprise that Kit and Kay play that stereotype as straight as possible.

Shirlee Mouse.

  • Author Tract: It is entirely a vehicle for Richard Katellis' views on

free love, yiffing, and the plight of the furry community. The world outside of idyllic, nudist Yiffburg is full of monstrous dictatorships and ruthless capitalist states that criticize Yiffburg for being horny layabouts. Any character who doesn't constantly want sex with total strangers is either an evil fascist or a repressed soul, and the answer is invariably anonymous sex, either to defeat or convert them to the yiffy way of life. It doesn't help matters that the story is occasionally interrupted by the author describing the sexual exploits he and his wife have with their parents.

    • In case one didn't notice the yiff evangelism element, "Outfox the

Tyrant" contains apparent references to God's Smuggler. Boinkberries sound like more fun than bibles, but still!

Bunko; before they convert to Yiff-ism, for lack of a better word, they're wrinkly, warty, fun-house-mirror-like renditions of their animal types; as soon as they start getting laid, however, it's all big cartoon cutesy eyes and smiles.

  • Broken Aesop: The comic's main theme, if it has one, is that yiffing is

good and should be appreciated, celebrated, and enjoyed. But then you have Skamm, who tries to keep ahold of his link with Karostropov by reaffirming that the sin of Greed is more powerful than the sin of Lust. By itself that's not so bad, since Skamm's a villain and his views aren't supposed to be seen as the right ones-- but his "lust" is just as sugary and darling as any of the rest of the cast's, and no one protests the use of the term even as they're literally tempting him with sex to get him to understand their viewpoint and free him from Karostropov. So, sex is good, clean, wholesome fun-- but it's still sinful.

he's evil because he represses his sexuality.

      • More like he's closeted because he thinks it will get him more

clients and represses his sexuality because the evil force he allied himself with requires it of him. At this point, any evil in him is just there for the sake of it.

Perhaps the author had finally decided to be honest with his readers and just anthropomorphized a cock?

Depo-Provera and Xtasy.

  • For the Evulz: Karostropov. So far there's no indication that he/it as

an entity actually gains anything by forcing his hosts to be celibate, or even gives any real benefit to his hosts by possessing them, since he seems to prefer people who already have business sense and a general lack of decent ethics anyway. Mostly it seems like he just wants to kick puppies.

  • Ki Attacks: Less laser-like than is traditional but "yiff energy" is a

weapon on its own.

nearly every storyline seems to introduce more and more secondary characters.

  • MacGuffin: Just about any plot-centric (usually legal) item the

characters are after/opposed to. They're treated as drastically important-- in particular the agreement the lawyers were signing with Queen Serena, the contract being negotiated at the Copulation Club, Bill Blaine's testimony-- but the audience is never shown how any of this even relates to Yiffburg, let alone how they could be so important it's worth rearranging the lives of total strangers for.

residents of Yiffburg who prefer to yiff in the privacy of their own homes rather than in public and (at first) refuse to engage in eating boinkberries. While the characters' first names are Vic and Dee, they're nearly always referred to by their full names, just in case you might miss the significance.

  • Mind Rape: Well, how else would you describe what Kit n' Kay did to

Queen Serena.

    • Possibly what the island Yiffburg is built on actually does, in the

sense that everyone who goes there becomes a mindlessly horny layabout because of the way it "changes" them.

    • The Squick reponse is understandable, but in the context of the

in-universe outlook towards sex, it's much closer to a platonic love with... um... squick-inducing shared intimacy.

      • Which is why it might not be so bad, if these things only happened

in-universe. Instead, the author devoted a full arc to describing what might be a real life incident.

always banging each other, the relations tend to be almost exclusively monogamous and heterosexual.

    • A conscious choice on Kit & Kay's part, as "mutuality" keeps their

connection to the Gods Of Yiff (no, really) stronger. Everyone else, on the other hand...

      • Later strips break away from this pattern somewhat by including

polyamorous and homo/bi-sexual activities on occasion (but that's only a good thing if you really want to see sappy cartoon-characters getting it on in even more ways).

  • Schedule Slip: Over the course of the comic, Katellis got progressively

less prolific. Nowadays, the comic only updates three or so Tuesdays a month.

The few characters who actually have jobs in Yiffburg seem to be volunteers in service industries. Despite this, Yiffburg is said to have the lowest unemployment rate in a city of its size. It's possible that yiffing counts as a day job.

    • Not sure if this is the author's fail or just the world's, but the

rest of the world sees Yiffburg as [[http://kitnkayboodle.comicgenesis.com/d/20060502.html "an arrested economy"]] with "no money going into it," despite the fact that Yiffburg is effectively the world's biggest drug dealer. The sheer amount of money it would take to keep Yiffburg running the way it does when no one works would require them to trade boxes of boinkberries for three times their weight in gold bricks.

    • It seems some of them have jobs...they just don't work very hard, and

freely stop to yiff.
