Yarf! (And other stuff)

Got the five The Complete Yarf! collections currently available from
. Very excited about this. I’m a real sucker for old furry stuff. I find it very interesting how much furry has changed in the last thirty(Jesus christ) years. I think the first thing that jumps out at you is how heterosexual it is, it’s very jarring to see furry when it wasn’t predominantly gay. But at least in the start of the ‘zine’s run you’ve got to flip through several pinups of tasteful busty animal girls before you find the real interesting stuff. The second thing you notice is how tied into genre fiction it all was. I guess I always just assumed that early furry was just people who liked animation and comics with funny animals. Which is very much true to some extent. And that is still a part of it but as far as Yarf! specifically goes there’s a lot more scifi/fantasy fan DNA than anything.
Alright that’s most of what I have to say on this subject. Still feel like I’m forgetting something whoops.
In other news I’m getting into both James Joyce and Cormac McCarthy because of my stupid ass furry OCs. Also my buddy

I wasn't familiar with Yarf! but I checked out an issue on the Internet Archive and I recognized a few of the artists. Love underground comics and it would fun to grab at least an issue or 2 from Jarlidium
