Not Yeti Friday - Werewolves

Werewolves are about to get really big. And I don't mean because the moon is particularly full this month. I mean big as in popular. People are sidling on over from their beloved vampires into the furry arms of the vampires' ancient foe, the wolf-people.

There's gonna be movies, tv shows, comic books, you name it. Who let the (were)wolves out? Get ready to get sick of them!!!

As you probably know, every culture on Earth loves a wild man covered in fur that lives all alone and might kill you. The yeti is one, and the werewolf is another.

I personally think werewolves are especially popular because of their association with vampires - who are super-big and have struck a chord with human cultures since like forever - far more than any hairy wild dudes. This association between vamps and lycans is probably due to the fact that wolves used to frequent graveyards looking for food. People at first assumed that the vampires were turning into wolves - but later decided that they were probably battling them in a secret endless war like the Montagues and Capulets except everyone wears black leather and looks like they're in a music video.



These are pretty decent werewolf plushes. The above one actually transforms.



There's actually a site devoted to all things werewolves called I Love Werewolves.

And Bob Powers has written "The Werewolf's Guide to Life" and has a blog about it.

Did you know? The yeti killed the Werewolf?
