Old Furry Comics
Posted 3 months agoI've recently begun a blog on my personal website [https://quetzaldotdog.neocities.org/DogBlog ]. I made the second blog post today, and since it has to do with furry, I thought I'd mirror it here:
Recently my Complete Yarf! Vol. 5 issue came in (recently being yesterday) and I've been working on reading through it (a tall order given the textbooks I'm required to read for college, but I digress). This collection came out this year but the content within is from the 90s and is published as-is, unchanged. It's super interesting to read an article inside about "recent" furry media releasing, and all of the artwork inside has that kind of "old-school/old-internet" kind of look to it. You can tell it's more amateurish work, but that quality just makes it all the more special to me. In an era of AI-gen slop flooding services like google images, it's nice to see works with flaws that could only come from a human. The earnest passion of the artists comes through in their work, and it is so unbelievably refreshing.
Yarf! was an APA (amateur press association) anthology series that published comics, writings, and individual art pieces. It's technically still active, but seemingly only to publish collected volumes like the one I recently recieved. APAs don't really exist in the same capacity as they used to, what with the advent of the internet allowing anyone to publish anything and all, but they were pretty important in circulating "nerd"/geek/smaller fandom content and "keeping the torch of mutual interest lit" (as stated in the aforementioned Yarf volume I received).
Anyway, I find the whole thing to be pretty inspirational. If they could circulate their stories with fewer resources at their disposal than I have, then why can't I? Makes me want to work on more comics.
