Sometime near 1950 there was a clandestine inter-dimensional-cartoon air raid on the town of New Richland, Minnesota. The objective was to bathe the vicinity with rays from an experimental Funny Animal Projector, to enhance the probability of the region producing future human funny animal cartoonists. In later years, the experiment was judged to be a success.
Published in an apa-zine within "Vootie", a November 1977 issue of a funny animal cartooning amateur press association.

Like many not-for-profit fan projects, it had a cycle of interest and energy, and the (usually) one person doing most of the work would get burnt-out, or real life would become too Real. There had been a resurge of interest from cartoonists in contributing to Vootie in the 6 months before it stopped. At the time, the pool of people involved may not have had a workable administrator to keep it running. (Also none of us may have been able to afford the postage for mailing 3 or 4 boxes of material to a new out-of-state editor.)
Rowrbrazzle zine was a prompt replacement, and it was appropriately more funny animal-fan/furry-fan membership than powered by undergound comics sensibilities. Shirm & Fred Patten made good use of the interest of furry fans & young pro animators in the Los Angeles area for a support group. A much larger group of fans to socialize at the apazine collation meetings. Much more welcoming to all 'furry' types, including writers and collectors.
You would have been a good addition to the Vootie contributors, yet I believe you were a good contributor to Rowrbrazzle from early on.

if only we had a ray to turn everyone into funny animals. some would panic of course,
but all would certainly gain an appreciation for the idea of physical accessibility concerns.
in 77 i was an avid s-f reader who knew nothing of the fandom, and was living on a kind of commune in southern oregon.
always happy and thankful to learn more about what i was missing out on at the time, and only began to learn about in the early 80s.

Very good observation about empathy with physical accessibility!
Many furry story tropes from the start would have 'origin of furry humans' stories, where there would be a near universal 'event' to cause all (or some) of the humans to become furry in a very short amount of time.
I had encountered the sf fandom in about 1966. From a small amount of socializing and reading their histories and their essays on social events in zines, I learned about how the comic book collectors in the early 1960s learned about the existence of other collectors... in other states, and often in their own home towns. There was a pattern of the comic collectors selectively adopting the tropes from the sf fans, like zines & apas & regional conferences. Some pop-culture special interest social groups didn't have to invent all of their social infrastructure from scratch. (The rails, grade engineering, and rolling-stock had already been invented.)
