Hi,
I was curious about how many of the Skiltaire party attendees are also
webcomic creators.
If you are, could you post a URL to your comic?
Because I think I have been rubbing elbows, figuratively (and
considering how crowded things tend to be, maybe literally) with some
of the people whose art I strongly like.

Kidscreen is reporting that Luken Communications, the owner of broadcast channel Retro TV (which currently airs much of the Filmation cartoon library), is partnering with Classic Media to create a new retro-style cartoon network called PB&J. According to the press release:
The 24-hour network, set to launch in the US this summer, will feature Classic Media titles from the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Those include The Archie’s, Mr. Magoo, The Lone Ranger, Gumby and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. PBJ will be available to broadcasters, cable and satellite providers.

Dorobo men cut and butcher an already dead wildebeest before taking it away.

And now something for fans of the massive on-line role-playing game World of Warcraft — and also fans of werewolves. DC Comics is collecting the five-issue miniseries World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen into a single hardcover graphic novel, coming this September. This is from the publisher’s notes: “A series of grisly, animalistic murders have rocked the walled town of Gilneas. A famous detective sets out to discover the perpetrators and finds far more than he bargained for. To find the truth, he must delve through years of twisted history – both the history of his family and Gilneas itself.” The original series was written by Micky Neilson and James Waugh, and illustrated in full-color by Ludo Lullabi and Tony Washington.

Showing the better parts of filming the Geddan video at Furry Connection North 2011 , and the great people that helped make it happen. I did make a few tweaks to the final video which is already re-uploaded (see unlike youtube you can replace video files), but nothing that significant. ;Furry Connection North videos are in the works. The next movie dungeon will be The Dark Knight, then the first season of My Little Pony (maybe I have yet to watch it.).I have interviews to edit and post of artist at FCN along with artist I have lined up to interview at motor city comic con this year.

I guess I'm out of the loop here, as the switch happened a month ago, but it's been replaced by a SFW site called "Oh Internet."

Time and time again I have seen the accounts of my fellow furs get removed from Facebook. However, I can understand Facebook’s policy of wanting to keep public profiles strictly linked to actual human bodies. It keeps things clean, neat and tidy. Also with modern problems with cyber-bullying, identity theft, sexual predators, trolls and such it seems like a decent policy from a security standpoint.

Facebook, you likely either love it or hate it. The social networking giant seems to have been conducting maintenance on its user accounts for a few years focused on accounts for pets or animals. Mainly this seems to be driven by the network’s security policies to keep users from hiding behind another personality and not showing a profile page.

Whenever the furry fandom comes to light in popular media, it has often become sensationalized. We envision a film that steps beyond the aesthetic spectacle of the community and explores the fandom in more depth. In particular, we are interested in placing this subculture against a social background to examine the “human element” of being furry.
To do this, we will explore the lives of several furries both in and outside of the fandom. We will place a particular emphasis on how “being furry” contributes to identity construction, how the fandom is structured as a community, and how the fandom influences (or is influenced by) mainstream society.

The winners of the tenth annual Ursa Major Awards for the best anthropomorphic/"funny animal" literature and art first published during 2010 have been announced at a presentation ceremony tonight at Morphicon in Columbus, Ohio.

"Hyenas" Movie Story:

Plot Outline:

Roving clans of shape-shifting human/hyena creatures prowl and hunt for human prey. They are hunted by one man seeking revenge for the death of his loved ones.

Overview:

"Hyenas" the movie is an urban legend detailing accounts of human encounters and attacks by a sub-culture of predatory cryptohuman Hyenas. These shape-shifting human-like creatures prowl the rural back roads and forests of North America and have long been thought to exist by Cryptozoologists. Folklore and sightings persist even as mainstream science denies their existence. But these fierce creatures with bone crushing jaws and an appetite for human flesh are real and live up to the fierce reputation of their cousin, the African Spotted Hyena. A dozen snarling, fighting crypto Hyenas can devour an adult human -- skeleton and flesh -- in a matter of minutes.

After the recent review of the terrible Hyenas, here’s something to make hyena fans happier!

When Ursula Vernon published the first volume of Black Dogs in 2007, her life was very busy. She was moving house, her webcomic Digger was experiencing a surge in popularity, and her newly-acquired literary agent had got her a sweet deal to write and illustrate children’s books for Scholastic.

Understandably, writing a sequel took a back seat, so when the second half of Black Dogs was published four years later, Sofawolf Press conveniently reprinted the first volume with a new cover.

Black Dogs is a fantasy novel set in a world with humans, elves, and many anthropomorphic species. The main character is Lyra, a young human who finds herself on the run after her merchant family’s home is attacked by bandits. Though educated and well-read, she hasn’t much practical knowledge. Luckily she meets Sadrao, a tall, kind dog-soldier, one of a respected species of anthro-hyenas. Taking her under his wing, she joins him on his travels while he teaches her survival skills.

I happened upon this, dated from about a month ago (April 19):
http://www.dr.dk/P1/Klubvaerelset/Udsendelser/2011/04/16115910.htm

It's in Danish, and looks like a piece on a radio program. (Any Danish furs here who can elaborate?)

A quick-and-dirty Google translation, of the page's text to English, reads:


Bold, beautiful and sexy furries
Club Room 19th April 2011, at. 16:10 P1

Listen to the show (43:32)

By fox cage in Scandinavian wildlife park sits club room with Charlie, Martin and Ole. They are ordinary young people, but they are also a wolf, a fox and a gray jackal.

When the fox plays Guitar Hero
There is a group of young Danes who call themselves furries. They dress in animal costumes, exchange drawings of animals and meet at the 'furmeets' to talk about the furry subculture and their various fields of interest within it. Ole example. a 'fur-suites'. So he dresses himself out in big animal costumes and join forces with other fur-suites out in parks, where he gives the past an adequate experience they will long remember. - I decided once to go to Blockbuster to download a game wearing my fursuit. It turned out to be a fantastic trip for all responded so positively. The employees behind the counter was completely finished with laughter and there were two boys behind me in the queue who called their friends and said 'Hey, I just can not wait have to get down to Blockbuster, here is a giant fox and play Guitar Hero! "

Fur porn yiff =
But when you move into the dirtier part of furry culture, then you come upon furry self-invented synonym for furry porn: Yiff. Martin is 28 years and was for many years a fan of an American account named Eric Schwarz. Eric Schwarz's first animal motifs were quite innocent, but at some point learns Martin, the artist starts to draw its anthropomorphic animal women with large, bare breasts and with a lot more affectionate glances. Martin's drawing style evolve in the same direction, and he still prefers yiff rather ordinary man porn. - It gives just an extra dimension that the girl has fur and cat ears. It's probably just a fetish, like so many others, he says.

Furries across borders
Yiff has spread like a prairie wind out of the Internet's nooks and crannies, and you can find according to Martin yiff just as easily as one can find general porn on the net. And furrykulturen owe the Internet a great deal of its success, for it was over the net that culture in the early '90s began to break boundaries. Today furries exchange pictures, drawings, yiff, fur art and stories over the net, and it is here that the big Furry Conventions is beaten up. Kept example. a Fur Con in September in Germany, where organizers expect thousands of furries as a visitor.

Okay… Now here is something. I know we Furries have our ordinary lives right?
But they are never shown. Here is a little something that made me happy yesterday. I found out about this video thanks to Renard Queenston, but coming down to it I think it is something we should all watch.
