The Fat Cat is Back

In-Fur-Nation - Tue 22 Mar 2011 - 01:57

Well this sort of came out of nowhere… A brand new CGI show featuring Jim Davis’ inescapable cat Garfield was made in France in 2008. Then, in 2009, episodes of The Garfield Show began airing in North America on Cartoon Network, with all-around voice actor Frank Welker voicing Garfield in place of the late Lorenzo Music. One of the main writers and voice directors for the series is Mark Evanier, who was also lead writer for the original 2D series Garfield and Friends in the 1980′s. Now it seems that Papercutz (home of the Geronimo Stilton series) is creating a series of hardcover full-color comic collections based on The Garfield Show. The collections are titled Garfield & Co., and they come to stores this May.

Ian and Hunter Youbook

Furry News Network - Tue 22 Mar 2011 - 01:30

03/18/2011
By: TheIronweasle

Ian and HunterOn August 27th 2010, shortly after my joining of the Fandom, I started something new, a book on youtube. I was the first to ever do this, interestingly enough. But I digress.

I started writing Ian and Hunter. The story surrounds the young man Ian Hunter, who has awoken in a medievil village populated by a strange(or not, to those reading this) Race of animal people. However Ian can’t remember anything before waking up. As he adapts to life in the village, and attmpts to revcover his memory he learns that war is brewing, and he might be part of a deep political struggle.

Now as I’m sure many of you see, this sounds very similar to Twokinds. This is because I was reading it at the time I started. However, it is only the basic background that is similar, and the story becomes much different and darker as it progress.

So check it out at youtube.com/TheIronweasle please give your comments and criticisms. However please note that this is a first draft in which I plan to edit afterwards, and I use extremly bad editing tools, so know I am very aware of misspells.

EDITORS NOTE: This is a user submitted article and is seen as self promotion and not news, however, the concept of a “Youbook” is interesting. With the move to either e-books or audio books, this is a very different approach. Please take a look and give your opinion. Good luck with your project.

Atlanta’s Rock 100.5 Broadcasts “Furry Convention Undercover”

Furry News Network - Mon 21 Mar 2011 - 20:04

The Regular Guys from Rock 100.5 invaded Furry Weekend Atlanta. They used information they pulled from twitter.

They quote tweets from @Bad_Dragon, @Lupinesilver @Kravenlupei @Tigerafterdark and others. Include talking about the cerberus sheath from Fetish Zone.

Jaeger Fuchs states “For the record, Fetish Zone did not host any Cerberus parties at FWA as mentioned at the end of this broadcast.” FNN has confirmed this from multiple sources. Fetish Zone did not host such a party.

The radio hosts used Twitter to find and invade private room parties.

Menlo Park draws fire for quietly exterminating squirrel population

Furry News Network - Mon 21 Mar 2011 - 17:47

03/21/2011
Submitted By: Shouta
News Source: Mercury News

kaput-d-combo-baitThough he isn’t convinced Menlo Park made the right call when it ordered a hit on the teeming ground squirrel population at Bedwell Bayfront Park, Mayor Rich Cline is certain better outreach on the city’s part would have stemmed some of the public outrage that followed.

“There probably should have been a more thorough process,” Cline admitted.

The city recently came under fire from park users for killing the squirrels and keeping the details quiet. Officials said the rodents had to go because they posed a threat to an important layer of earth containing the landfill Bayfront sits on top of.

“This action was disguised for months,” Eileen McLaughlin of Citizens for Completing the Refuge, a Palo Alto-based nonprofit that works to protect wetlands, told the city council on Jan. 25. “We have to wonder why and how that decision was made. The park opened in 1984. … squirrels have always been there. What is the squirrels’ actual record of damage …?”

At the same council meeting, Menlo Park Deputy City Manager Kent Steffens called the extermination “unfortunate but necessary.” The squirrels’ burrows were reaching into the decaying garbage and the animals were bringing trash to the surface, he said.

“One Week” by Whyte Yote

Furry News Network - Mon 21 Mar 2011 - 16:50

Author: toonces

Some of the best stories are simulations of the more sinful desires, and BDSM certainly falls into this category. While Whyte Yote offers up a story that is absent of the bondage or sado-masochistic aspects, he creates a story with a starkly defined dom/sub binary- and does it with a muted, even disaffected touch that enables vivid imagery. Issues of class and race (as far as they can be somehow projected upon furry animal pseudo fantasy-people, or whatever) give the story a special bite, one that can often cause conflict between writer and reader.

And for those who were looking forward to a little bondage: If I don’t learn to stop futzing with my hoodie zipper during recording session, you can presume in future recording sessions that my hands are cuffed behind my back.

Finishing Diggera4s unexpectedly epic

furryne.ws - Mon 21 Mar 2011 - 16:17
"Well. Huh. I have been doing this for so long that I find myself somewhat at a loss for words. For the last six months or so, I have been very focused on finally finishing Digger's unexpectedly epic journey (some of you undoubtedly remember those first five pages, and my constant refrain that I was just doodling and not to get attached!) but I didn't actually spend much time thinking about what to say once I did. I guess the only thing to say is "Thank you!" So many readers have given me so much encouragement and support and time over the years that I won't even try to name them al

G4 Attack of the Show covers Furry Weekend Atlanta

Furry News Network - Mon 21 Mar 2011 - 13:33

As mentioned on numerous tweets this weekend, G4′s Attack of the Show (ATOS) came to do videos and interviews at Furry Weekend Atlanta. G4 ATOS has a long history of being fascinated by furries and has often featured them on their show. They even came down to Atlanta to film the Furry/Klingon Bowling event held in 2007 that got national internet attention.  The coverage is often very humorous but has never come off as negative.

At this time, we do know they did some brief interviews, and filmed part of the Fursuit Dance competition.

We don’t know when G4 plans to air the footage. If they keep to previous production scheduls, the footage should air sometime in late April. As soon as we have a date, we’ll post it here! We’ll also make sure to post the video as soon as we can after they air it.

EDIT: If you recognize a suiter below, please tell us who they are in comments below! Give their twitter name too!

Germany’s Beloved Polar Bear Knut Dies Suddenly

Furry News Network - Sun 20 Mar 2011 - 10:54

Knut, the polar bear cub, has its first public appearance with his keeper in the Berlin Zoo in 2007.

The four-year-old cub reportedly collapsed and died Saturday at the Berlin Zoo.

The world embraced Knut as our own after his mother rejected him shortly after birth. He beat the odds as the only polar bear ever raised by humans, showing an adorable affection toward his Berlin Zoo trainer – and adoptive father – Thomas Dörflein. But Saturday, Knut passed away of unknown causes while alone in the zoo’s polar bear enclosure.
