New Web Comic ‘The Tail’ strives to push Furry mainstream
Hyrax Productions new web comic “The Tail” is about a young Chirran named Ayan, born with no tail, living in a society where your tail is your status symbol. Marked with shame, he and his family are servants and surfs to a noble house within the land. Ayan decides to break with this life and tries to become a knight. When this fails, it leads him to meet Mieu Notra, the Blue Maiden. The girl awakens something within Ayan, and from then on, for better of for worse, their fates are intertwined in a web of love, betrayal, and redemption.
It is with this story line that Al Romero and Hyrax Productions hopes you will become engrossed with Ayan’s story, and that it will become a mainstream hit.
“Furry” is a genre, sub-genre (whatever) that is often looked upon as being on the fringe. Content that is furry tends to hover around two extremes; extremely cute and neuter, or extremely sexualized and containing strong themes of sexual identity, particularly of an off-beat nature. Both extremes are trivialized by the mainstream. “The Tail” is a web comic that attempts to bridge the gap between the off-beat appeal of furry culture, and solid, entertaining story telling that is crucial for mainstream acceptance. — By Hyrax Productions
It will be interesting to see how the mainstream audiance accepts this comic. Ayan, we wish you good luck.

Eva Braun and the Furries
Eva Braun and friends in the Bavarian Alps, Germany, 1935.
Via Boing Boing
By: Xeni Jardin
Ben Cosgrove at LIFE Magazine writes, “Recently released photographs — all of them rare, some of them unseen for decades — from Eva Braun’s personal photo albums provide a window into an era and a culture that feels light years away, and creepily, even intimately familiar.”
The one where she’s doing Urdhva Dhanurasana nazi yoga by the lake near Hitler’s mountaintop hideaway freaks me out. And the one where she’s in blackface as Al Jolson. And then there’s this one with a dude in a bear wolf suit, 1935.
Here’s the complete photo gallery (in Flash, alas).

Eva Anna Paula Hitler née Braun (6 February 1912 – 30 April 1945) was the longtime companion of Adolf Hitler and for less than 40 hours, his wife.

Oh My!
Hermes Press have announced they are now the new publishers of Mike Bullock and Michael Metcalf’s well-known (and well-loved) comic book series Lions, Tigers, and Bears. The long-awaited full-color Volume 3 graphic novel is available now in softcover. This is from their press release: “Mike Bullock’s internationally acclaimed, best selling title has a new home with Hermes Press! The long awaited Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Volume 3 arrives in stores March, 2011. ‘Lions, Tigers, and Bears is a remarkable title, with memorable characters, an enchanting concept, and beautiful artwork,’ observed Hermes Press’ Publisher, Dan Herman. ‘We’re really excited about releasing all new adventures of Joey, Courtney, Ares, Venus, Pallo and Minerva as a graphic novel.’” For those who haven’t found it yet, Lions, Tigers, and Bears is the story of a group of kids who discover that their stuffed animal toys have the ability to come to life — as rather large animals — to protect the children in their care from an invasion of other-worldly demons.
Georgia Furs Stone Summit Meet
On a cold Saturday night, a group of intrepid furries set out on an adventure. They stepped into their harnesses, secured their ropes and chalked their paws and set out to climb. The goal; conquer Stone Summit!
Twenty five came to the event, including a few of the board members from Furry Weekend Atlanta. Fursuiting was welcomed. The event space was shared with Stone Summit’s youth program who were having a shut in for the evening.
Georgia Furs has had a long standing Tuesday night furmeet. Starting with the Stone Summit event, they are moving from that format to one large Furmeet event a month, along with a “dinner club” on Tuesday nights that will move from restaurant to restaurant.
Local furs are encouraged to get involved. Visitors from out of town are always welcomed! If you are planning on showing for either the monthly event or the Tuesday dinner club events, you are encouraged to RSVP so they can let the facility that will be hosting the event know how many to expect. There are times when the Georgia Furs meet has had over 50 in attendance and overwhelmed the restaurant that they were meeting at.
If you are interested in finding out more, or want to see what event is coming up next, you can go to the Georgia Furs website.
The following video and photos are highlights from the event.

Link to this post! A drug that could make you grow sensory whiskers (and penis spines)
Only a few molecules separate you from having sensory whiskers and a penis spine. That’s right – evolution has cheated you out of those whiskers that make your cat a super-sensor and the spines that, well, make your penis super-sensitive. A study published today in Nature reveals that human DNA still bears traces of genes that could, if tinkered with slightly, cause the next generation of Homo sapiens to have new sensory organs. And penis spines. How would that work?

There's a little furry in everyone...?
I saw this down in a thread today. Kinda interesting how many people can relate... As long as there is no 'furry' label.

Apparently this was far from the first notification sent by disgruntled copyright-holders. Regardless, lulz.net’s administrator appears confident that the board will soon resume service.

Eastern Cougar Finally Declared Extinct In U.S.
Author: AshMCairo
“For years, biologists have argued that the eastern cougar is extinct in the United States. In fact, many believed that puma concolor cougar had been extinct for more than 100 years.
Reports of sightings, however, made the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hesitant to make an official declaration. Now, after an extensive review, biologists and conservation officials agree: The eastern cougar is officially extinct.”
