It's a guilty pleasure, but you can't honestly call it a good comic.
>Freefall
Hardly a furry comic, unless I've missed something in the 8 years since I read it. It's also not great, since the humour is the kind of stuff you'd find in a newspaper comic.

>what do animal people do here, where humans can't?
There was a thread on /tg/ about it a few months ago where someone posted a good explanation:
>Some form of reflection of hardships and inequalities of reality that some people are simply shit at certain things. Sometimes nature is a bitch and everyone's gotta eat and sometimes be eaten.
>Something like let's say dog headed beastmen do not share some of the same gifts bestowed upon man because that is exactly what sets man apart from the animals. As a result a dogheaded beastman may never do certain kinds of magic such as clerical magic or sorceries (or maybe they are all incapable of any magic, or just severely disadvantaged in all magic). Perhaps those are the humanoid races' unique endowments, as opposed to the animal endowments of the body such as teeth and claws.
>A disability like that is depressing and forces someone playing that character to stand in the rain for at least a little bit. It may wake them up to what the game is about instead of their fuzzy furry fantasies.
The short answer is people already know what animals are and how they behave. If you see a cat character and a dog character, you know they're liable to hate each other for little-to-no reason, or at least oppose one another. Achieving the same effect with orcs and elves could be doable, but if you wanted to have more subtle allusions like an eagle being proud or a fox being a trickster, then the analogies kind of break down.
A story about a rabbit and a hawk becoming unlikely friends would be understandable virtually from the title page, but the same story featuring a kobold and a hobgoblin would be too alien to be understood without loads of backstory explaining the relationship between kobolds and hobgoblins.
