My dream of preserving the past suddenly blossomed into something that has left me totally stunned. No it wasn’t legal issues, it was discovering where we furries started. We all like to think maybe the 2000s, if you’re a Greymuzzle you might even say when the Disney animated version of Robin Hood when it came out in 1973.
As one other furry has proven it goes long before even 1973 LINK
As we look at furry art, and fursuits none of ever think of what it was like in the early days…
I got from an eyewitness who told me they went to the very 1st fur con ever ConFurence 0 back in 1989. They told me there was only 3 comic book dealers there and it barely lasted 4 hours. Which you might be surprised was free to get in, but no one there would admit to being a furry. One thing they do remember well, of how this one guy ran across the street to a convenience store and picked up some drinks and started to sell them at the convention.
No one has ever heard this before, unless you were there.
We can’t let furry history just turn into dust or plan be forgotten.
Like this furry comic that started in 1986 it’s called T.H.E. Fox and can be found here LINK
According to Wikipedia T.H.E. Fox is a furry comic strip by Joe Ekaitis which ran from 1986 to 1998. It is among the earliest online comics, predating Where the Buffalo Roam by over five years. T.H.E. Fox was published on CompuServe, Q-Link and GEnie, and later on the Web as Thaddeus. Despite running weekly for several years, the comic never achieved Ekaitis’ goal of print syndication. Updates became less frequent, and eventually stopped altogether.
