Is it furry? No not technically but a lot of us are artists, and we can make comics furry.

What is hourly comic day? Every hour for today, you draw a 2-3 panel comic about what is going on at that time of the day. Usually, this is more exciting when it's not a sunday, since most of us stay home on weekends, but the challenge is making routine comics on things that you otherwise would find boring.

I love Awkward Zombie so here's a shameless link to one of her hourly comics. She does this every year.

I, unfortunately, will not be doing it this year, mainly due to timing, but I have an unnatural habit of deciding at random through the year "I am declaring today hourly comic day".

So yeah, draw some comics.

Welcome to our newest member MikasiWolf!

Member News

The latest anthology from editor Fred Patten, The Furry Future, features 19 furry-themed science fiction stories (or science-fiction-themed furry stories, your call), with at least 15 of those stories coming from FWG members.

FurPlanet’s anthology Five Fortunes (also edited by Fred Patten, and featuring novellas from several members) is now available as an ebook from Bad Dog Books, and you can read FWG member Dronon’s review of it here at Claw & Quill. In other review news, you can now find Fred Patten’s reviews posted at Dogpatch Press.

Eduardo Soliz has just released Con Fluff 3: Nine Charming Furry Short Stories, his third collection of “furry super-short conbook stories”.

Patrick “Bahumat” Rochefort’s From Winter’s Ashes continues with Chapter 1.1 and Chapter 1.2 now posted.

Some of our associate members have been busy too — Jay launched a new blog, and Weasel has a new book review blog himself, along with another story in the literary magazine Earth Is Huge And We Are All On It.

Author: Dear papa bear, I am a natural-born female, but I identify as genderfluid (this means at times I’ll feel female but at other times I feel like I’m a male—and should have been born one). This took some time to figure out. Now my question: As a female I’m bisexual, but as a male … … Continue reading →
