Better Days



Better Days is a furry webcomic by Jay Naylor. It began on April 18, 2003 and ended on May 29, 2009. It chronicled the life of Fisk and Lucy Black as they grew up. The timeline of the series started somewhere in 1980, and ended sometime in the late 1990s.

Relation to #fisk_maps
Better Day's relation to #fisk_maps is major, as many main characters in #fisk_maps originated from the webcomic. The events in Better Days from the first chapter up through the 15th chapter are all considered canon in #fisk_maps, though some liberties are taken. After the 15th chapter, Better Days diverges from #fisk_maps, as caused by a mysterious stasis inflicted upon all the Better Days characters for 16 years that began on January 1, 1990.

The Stasis
The origin of the stasis is unknown, but it is hinted that the Pastmaster from SWAT Kats had something to do with it. The stasis caused all the Better Days characters, barring Ted, to progress forward in time 16 years without aging. Upon waking up in January of 2006, they had to adjust to their new surroundings, which was done rather quickly, and led to the creation of #fisk_maps in the summer of 2006.

As a result of the stasis, all affected Better Days characters' ages are marked with a cross (&dagger;), to denote they are 16 years younger than expected.
