Wilfred is a Dog
How did we miss this department: Wilfred is an award-winning Australian TV comedy series, based on an also-award-winning 2002 short film. Created by Tony Rogers, Jason Gann, and Adam Zwar, it tells the story of an ordinary guy named Adam (played by Zwar)… ordinary that is, except for the fact that he sees his pretty neighbor Sarah’s dog Wilfred (played by Gann) as a man in a rather dumpy fur-suit… while everyone else sees him as an ordinary dog. Wilfred also talks to Adam, becoming something of a mentor… in so much as a foul-smelling, sexually un-repressed man/dog can be. In June of this year, a brand new American version of the series premiered on the FX network, with Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) starring as Adam, and Jason Gann reprising his role as Wilfred. Here’s the write-up of the original series on Wikipedia, with a link to the American series as well.

Cats vs. Lizards
Exiled: Clan of the Claw is a new series of connected science fiction novellas, edited by Bill Fawcett and coming this August from Baen Books. The writers collected in Book One include S.M. Stirling, Harry Turtledove, John Ringo, and Jody Lynn Nye. An alternative history of ancient Earth, the series tells of a race of evolved cats fighting against the descendants of dinosaurs. Hmm, is it just us or does that echo the new Thundercats animated series on Cartoon Network? Well, here’s the description from Amazon: “After the extinction asteroid doesn’t strike Earth, the dinosaurs keep evolving – but so do the mammals. We mammals have achieved human-like shapes, but now it’s cold-blooded, magic-using reptiles against the hot-blooded, hot-tempered descendants of cats. In a heroic, bronze-age world similar to 300, the Mrem Clan of the Claw and its sister warbands are expanding their rough-and-tumble territory, but now they face the Lishkash, masters of a cold-blooded empire of slave armies and magic. It’s mammalian courage and adaptation against reptile cunning in a clash of steel and will that will determine which line shall inherit the Earth.” Read it next month and decide for yourself.

FBOTM August: Kilcodo Costumes
07/28/2011
By: Trashville
August 2011
Kilcodo Costumes has only been around for three years but in that time has created over 50 costumes as well as numerous custom-made fleece animal backpacks. Kilcodo is also available or 2D art commissions such as concept art and con badges. Costumes from this builder are notably cute, expressive and colorful. So here to satisfy your curiosities is Kilcodo of Kilcodo costumes.
Briefly describe your history in the furry fandom.
I was introduced to the fandom in 1997, actually by a local news stations’
report on FluffMuck. I had always been into anthropomorphism as a kid
growing up, but that was of course before I knew what furry was. I read a
lot of RedWall, invented fan characters and stuff like that. By 1999 I was
uploading art to a VCL account and meeting friends on mucks, and soon
enough I was selling artwork commissions, which enabled me the financial
freedom to travel to cons and purchase art supplies. 2005 was my first
convention, right after my eighteenth birthday. Things have pretty much
blown up since then!
When did you build your first costume and what was it?
I made my first costume in the spring of 2008. It was a goat, made with
the plastic-mesh method, which I now consider a really difficult technique
to use for a first-timer, and it was immensely frustrating. But by that
summer I had completed Roxie, my first balaclava-based fursuit, and I just
kept on going after that!

How many fursuits have you been paid to build?
I believe at this point it is at 56. I have pictures of all of them in the
gallery here (listed below).
What is your construction method of choice (i.e heads)?
I sew my own balaclava bases, made from breathable 90% cotton blend. Then
I use brand new high-density upholstery foam for the features, then all of
the seams on the face and other parts of the costume are machine-sewn with
the seams pinned so no fur gets caught in the seam. I airbrush the heads
for definition and transition from one color to another. I do a lot of
“follow-me” eyes on my heads as well as the typical two-dimensional
“toony” fursuit eye. Right now I am using resin casts for the teeth, and
working on resin casts for noses, claws and eyes also.
What is your average price range?
Heads start at $600, an average partial is $800, half-suits are $100 and
full-body fursuits are $1350. These are base prices and get a little more
expensive if the character is complicated or has lot of different
colors/markings.
Who was your favorite to build?
I have to say I’m really fond of the way Kobol Tiger turned out.

What makes you unique as a builder and why should people choose you?
I’ve been told that my fursuits embody my art style. I try really hard to
give my costumes a lot of character, and also to make sure that they are
very durable and well-made. I don’t use patterns for things like hair and
eyebrows, rather I make a totally new pattern each time, so each costume
has a different personality. I don’t cut corners in my construction and I
only use the highest quality materials, a *really* good sewing machine,
and lots of careful pinning and cutting. I also offer a 2-year warranty on
all costumes for repairs and updates.

Hopes sink for RBW boat party in 2011
Author: GreenReaper
The RBW boat party on the River Thames will not be happening in 2011, according to an announcement by Miyabi on the UKfur forums (registration required).
Reasons cited for the cancellation include prior staff commitments and a lack of boat availability on the desired dates.
RBW, once the UK’s largest furry convention, was cancelled early this year due to declining attendance. The boat party was originally intended to continue, and Miyabi has confirmed that staff still hope to put it on in 2012.

French farmers face new blitzkrieg from wolves
Author: Rakuen Growlithe
In the 1930′s wolves became extinct in France. Sixty years later, wild wolves crossed over the Alps from Italy into France. This group has since expanded to up to 200 individuals in 20 different packs. The wolves have spread to cover 15 out of 94 départements (map) reaching North to the Vosges in Lorraine and West to Cantal in Auvergne (map), and occupying the French Pyrenees for the first time in a century.
The presence of the wolves has caused considerable distress to French shepherds — particularly in the French Pyrenees, where they are forced to contend with a growing wolf population, along with a now-discontinued government plan to reintroduce brown bears.
The government reports 1329 animals killed by wolves in 2011 as of July 22, mostly sheep. Another source says there have been 66 wolf attacks, almost as many as in the entire period of 2010. Adding to the unhappiness are EU laws that prevent shooting the wolves without authorisation.
One alternative that has been suggested is the use of Patou dogs (also known as Great Pyrenees) which have historically been used to guard against wolves. This is also a controversial suggestion; some shepherds claim the dogs are worse than the wolves, as they can attack tourists. Cases have even been reported of anti-Patou shepherds poisoning the dogs.
Jean-Marc Moriceau, wolf expert and author, says that wolves will, at their current rate of progress, reach the forests 50 miles South of Paris in 10-15 years. Although the spread of the wolves is a welcome occurrence for environmentalists, it is likely to fuel more anger and friction between farmers and the wolves unless some sort of solution can be reached.
