The animal kingdom is brimming with fauna who get their rocks off in surprisingly unorthodox ways, and it adds an extra level of curiosity when you depict these behaviors using anthropomorphic models.

Cartoonist Roxy Drew has also drummed up a fantastic series imagining animal, plant, and fungal sex as barroom behavior. You can see more of her strips here.
