According to our friends at CartoonBrew, in addition to the four new animated TV series announced recently by Netflix (and discussed here as well), the network has added an additional three new animated shows that are squarely aimed at the preschool set. One of them, at very least, is especially anthropomorphic: “Arriving worldwide in 2016 exclusively on Netflix is the Jim Henson Company’s Word Party. Produced through Henson’s digital puppetry studio, Word Party’s 11-minute episodes follow the adventures of four baby animals, whose singing and dancing aims to help build the vocabulary skills of its preschool viewers. Jim Henson Creature Shop’s digital puppetry innovation ‘allows puppeteers to perform digitally animated characters in real-time, enabling the animation to be more lifelike and spontaneous.'” Watch for it next year.

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart...thank you. I do my best on this sub to bring smiles to everyone's faces, brighten up days, inspire, and enlighten other furs. I want you guys to be happy whenever possible, because I know the world around us is a cesspool of negativity. So I always want to do my best for you guys, whether its connecting fur to fur to make new friends, business partnerships, or hobbies.

However, I recently made a thread, telling you all that all of us are worth something to this fandom. Many of you listened, some of you resisted, but one of you gilded my post. It was my first reddit gold, something I NEVER thought I'd end up seeing. It was an amazing surprise.

Ultimately, I came here with the mission to make you all as happy as I can. Last night, I left with all the smiles. I don't know who you are that did it, but thank you. And I want to extend that thank you to all of you here on /r/furry. I want to even extend that thank you to the entire fandom. You're all so awesome. I really look forward to bringing more smiles to you guys!

Illustration from Cats Royale and Dogs Royale card decks, now on Kickstarter.

One of my private retreats from the bad projects and crude jokes that periodically flood Indiegogo and Kickstarter is the tumblr feed, Your Kickstarter Sucks. It is sadly not possible to do anything about Bad Kickstarters, except point on them and laugh. Or maybe cry. Thankfully, there’s a website that does both of these things.

I’m not sure I consistently agree with all their submissions—one of the little joys of crowdfunding is soaking your feet in a big vat of style over substance, and the YKS gang loves to deflate hipster-driven design fluff. The dark secret Kickstarter doesn’t want you to know is that if they stop hosting 30 minimalist wallet campaigns a week, the entire manufacturing economy of China collapses, resulting in worldwide chaos. We need fluff.

Anyway, check ’em out, die a little inside. It’s fun. And I’m not suggesting that “Maan Singh: The Wolf-Child” should be on YKS, but they need to have words with their art director.

Reviews this week: Comic fun with all-ages post-apocalypse adventure, The Road North and fursuit/zombie horror comedy, Dawn of the Furries.

 

For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page New Projects Comics/Graphic Novels

Tales of the Wolfman (Ends: 7/20/2015)
What happened to Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf? They got married.’ Cute and cartoony comic collection binding the four issues of Tales of the Wolfman, with new material from the comic community.

The Road North #1 (Ends: 7/25/2015)
A masked refugee and her dingo-y companion travel north in an all-ages, post-apocalypse sci-fi adventure.

Dawn of the Furries #2 (Ends: 8/3/2015)
Foaming, savage, mindless furries lay waste to Pittsburg. Meet the artist at Anthrocon this year!

Film/Animation/Theater

Unleashed: The Movie (Ends: 7/10/2015)
Quirky magic romantic comedy: A solitary San Francisco ap designer’s pets turn into perfect boyfriends and the strangest love triangle of the year.
So, you probably shouldn’t have had him fixed. This one’s cute but its funding is going nowhere. Sad, sad.

Stuff

Big Cats Anatomy Models (Ends: 7/23/2015)
From artist Jun Huang, 3D models showing musculature of great cats, including sabre-tooth tigers!

Tabletop Games

Cats and Dogs Royale Playing Cards (Ends: 7/17/2015)
Two playing card decks with detailed animal nobility imagery, one for cats and one for dogs.

Veil Fall Dark Future Miniatures (Ends: 7/20/2015)
Dark, savage, and armor-plated wolves and werewolf tabletop miniatures from a gritty sci-fi future.
Concept art by Edward Delandre. This world seems heavily inspired by White Wolf’s dark game, Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

Video Games

Ninchanese (Ends: 8/1/2015)
Learn Chinese with cute kittens and snakey dragons in this gamified language-learning app

…Meh

Mecedorra (Ends: 8/23/2015): A German-language furry action comic, with wolfweaselotters and the genesis of their world.

 What’s Corbeau Backing This Week?
Certain dogs are still discovering new career opportunities, and are keeping their credit cards in their minimalist wallets. However, if we were backing a project, we would totally back White Wolf’s new tabletop game, “Beast: The Primordial.” I grew up on White Wolf’s “X: The Y” game series, and probably White Wolfed my way out of a doctorate back in college, so it’s neat to see the company releasing a new World of Darkness game :)

Sooooo, here's the gist of it. I'm 14, male, and bi, and I'm super new to all of this. As in, I-just-learned-about-furries-a-few-hours-ago new. Would anyone be willing to help me get acquainted with the community? I apologize if these kinds of posts are frowned upon here. I just don't know where else to ask! Anyway, feel free to PM me if you're interested in helping!

Thank you :)

Come hang out here!

First time streaming in a few weeks! Going to stream until I get bored or tired, hehe.

I'm also taking flair requests, so feel free to drop your refs/pictures/descriptions here and I'll be making them on stream. :D

Also, if you already have a flair made from me, I'm down for redrawing it! I'm planning on redrawing some of my older flairs, anyway.

EDIT: Stream has ended after about 5 or 6 hours. Thanks for joining, everyone!

It is over. The last of the crys for help have faded, and the screaming has ceased. Many have been lost, but we survived. Jarmageddon is over. This is Ensnared.

warning: nothing in this post is true. it is full of half remembered events and blatant lies. we apologise if anything in this turns out to be any way correct.

SCOTUS rules in favour of gay marriage

Y'know, I'm not even going to make fun of this one. It is a brilliant step on the path to equality,and to mock it would be disrespectful and kinda wrong.

statistics: what do they mean to you?

In this jackals opinion, there is little more fun than peering into the minds of others via the great and intangible numbers collected via surveys. And boy do we have numbers. There have been literally a billion and 2 surveys conducted recently. Here are a few of the more intriguing results:

• what do you dislike about the fandom: here answers varied. 30% answered: all the porn, 40% all butt the porn, 20% hate the previous 40%, and 12% hate everything. This one questions why they are here, but oh well.

• /r/furry traffic stats: bit more interesting these ones. They showed most of the congestion is caused by the silver cars, whereas the rush hours are between 0:00- GMT and One from roughly 00:00-04:00 GMT and from 18:00-26:00 GMT

• what interests you in the fandom: well, the main answer was a four letter word, beginning with Y. You figure it out.

• what does r/furry mean to you?: again, the four letter word.

(It was yaks, what did you think it was?)

fuzzbutt central burns down in fire related incident

T eh great and hallowed concourse of fuzzbutts central (2.0) has sent its last message. A great and blue evil, known locally as S'kyp hath turned its evil gaze towards the great building, and torn it asunder in a fit of rage. That or someone burned it down for insurance money. The residents will now move to club rummy, the upmarket venue which totally isn't the old place with a different sign on the front. It really burned down. Honest.

ensnared has competition :O

I know, you heard me right! The great and noble corporation of Ensnared Media is facing a competitor for like the first time ever. It seems they are creating a thread, once a month (less regularly than this esteemed paper) and with and emphasis on Truth! Now, between you and me truth is kinda annoying. Having to do things like research, assessing things and going to places and doing actual interviews cuts down on the amount of content you can make. And besides, who needs the truth? Nothing is true, everything is just an illusion on a different level. Now we have already asked the government to deal with this threat to the public, and have provided them with $100000 and sports cars in a compleley unrelated bribe donation. We have to say, do not go there. The post is medium sized, well played out and has a persimmon coloured cover on it. Do not approach, look at or think about it too hard, lest its insidious ideas incorrupt you.

That's all for now! I leave you with our existential question of the week:

-.. --- -.-- --- ..- -.- -. --- .-- -- --- .-. ... . -.-. --- -.. . --··-- --- .-. .- .-. . -.-- --- ..- ..- ... .. -. --. .- - .-. .- -. ... .-.. .- - --- .-.?

That's all for now, I bid you goodnight (or morning. Or afternoon. Or whenever)

Yours journalistically, Amon Botolf.
