Update (Oct 2020):Ā LIFC has been further postponed and we will provide the convention date in a future update.
We also finally got some good news namely the vaccine will be ready starting this Dec to 1st Responders . To everyone else more than likely anywhere from Jan to March for everyone else. The problem is really 2 fold #1 the making of enough vaccine to treat everyone and #2 it has to be stored at extremely cold temperatures.
There is also a 3rd issue which has been brought up on a couple of fur con groups on social media which is. Given how bad COVID-19 has been will it be a requirement to show proof you have been vaccinated before you will be allowed in.
The answer to all of them is nobody really knows, and we will all have to wait and see.
According to many claims around, it’s Nitro (ex-chair of Capital City FC) who’s supposedly behind the new convention.
A user called HypeKitty claimed that they’re staffed by people who are 18 to 19 years old.
So yāall can look for yourselves but this needs to be brought to light. New con in my area popped up and itās sus as shit for two reasons. A whole is running it and B the similar wording. Please judge for your selves but this feels like CCFC all over again https://t.co/h7mgwTrg3r
Briggs, the chairman of ACFC (Amish County FC) disbanded their TG group soon after, attributing the “ideas and assets” to Nitro, saying it belongings to him.
Where Nitro has been working. So far it seems not a single staff member was from our state of PA. This statement was released by the ācon chairā after a whole bunch of questions asked in the con chat! If youād like a copy of the archived chat please reach out via DM pic.twitter.com/vcO2opH4r5
Singapore Time 10/11/2020 2:09pm, Con Staff Watch tweeted that a Dealers’ Den page titled “Nitro Rookski” popped up. On it states that Nitro’s leaving the fandom.
A sharer sent this. 3 hours ago Nitro's fursuit went up for sale with a claim he is leaving the fandom. Maybe it will help pay CCFC's charity some of what they are owed. https://t.co/xfF7MkKnOSpic.twitter.com/6GE6xDpaKh
Some might be asking what so important about a comic turning 100. Can you even think of another that old and still producing new comics for the British public. You simply can’t as it is remarkable it has even lasted this long.
From Wikipedia
Rupert BearĀ is a children’sĀ comic stripĀ character created by British artistĀ Mary TourtelĀ and first appearing in theĀ Daily ExpressĀ newspaper on 8Ā November 1920. Rupert’s initial purpose was to win sales from the rivalĀ Daily MailĀ andĀ Daily Mirror. In 1935, the stories were taken over byĀ Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator forĀ PunchĀ and other glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children’s literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his 90s. More recently, various other artists and writers have continued the series. About 50 million copies have been sold worldwide.
The comic strip was, and still is, published daily in theĀ Daily Express, with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released. Rupert Bear has become a well-known character inĀ children’s cultureĀ in theĀ United Kingdom, and the success of the Rupert stories has led to the creation of several television series based on the character. The character also has a large fan following, with such groups asĀ The Followers of Rupert.
Since then there has been countless books, 5 TV series, and 3 video games. Including a special series of stamps.
