The cover of the limited edition collection of my pre-internet scribblings.
In making this archaeological dig, I've discovered numerous goodies that haven't been seen by a lot of people. Some of it with fairly good reason, but with the commentary this should be a great deal of fun. Other observations I've made:
1) Every now and again I'd come across some drawing I did for some early member of the SCFA/Yerf/Yiffnet IRC channel who has long since vanished into the ether. Furries come and furries go, I suppose, but it's weird how these pictures are like forgotten extras in the back of old photographs. Who did I draw that for? I may never know.
2) Guys, if you thought I drew feet big NOW....
3) It's a bit weird that Rochelle is on the cover of this book since she doesn't figure in any of this stuff (obviously). However, I came across some early Rochelle concept sketches, and wow, did that concept change. I'll be including that even though it isn't "Pre-Internet", just for completion.
4) There's a whole mess of early 1997 Gene Catlow-me drawing exchanges I'd like to include, but I have to get the cat's permission himself. It's definitely a good prelude to the beginning of Newshounds' web presence.
5) I realized I will have to spice up a lot of this with commentary. The October 30 date holds, but I may want to see a copy myself first before sending everyone else's out. So if it's delayed a week or two, don't panic. I will keep everyone updated.
Also, if you're on the fence about ordering this, here's an incentive: everyone's copy will be personalized with their own thank-you page. I can't sign them personally because they'll be coming directly from Lulu, but how cool is it having a page that's done just for you? Plus, let's not forget, this is going to be a massively limited edition. I'm being a real hardass about that even to my friends, so you're getting something unique for your money. Once I'm done with it, it's gone from Lulu except for an extra edition for myself.
So if you haven't ordered one... Paypal alistairkatt at hotmail dot com! It's $50 and that includes shipping. And you'll get my tesseracted gratitude for helping me out of a financial crisis. Thanks, folks!

Already got mine on order/reserved, and I *will* get it personalized because I'll drive over to your place and haul you out of your house out to dinner to do it. My treat.
Hey, you can include any guest art I've done for you over the years, or any of those silly doodles we've done back and forth.
