Furrlough

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Furrlough is a furry comic book originally published by Antarctic Press and is continued by Radio Comix. It is edited by Elin Winkler.

First published in 1991, Furrlough originally featured military-themed comic book stories with anthropomorphic characters. But as more issues were published, the comic expanded to also include action, adventure, fantasy and sci-fi stories as well. In 1997, Antarctic Press underwent a restructuring in an attempt to focus on more mainstream comics, and in the process several comic books were dropped, including Furrlough and its sister title, Genus. However, these books were still popular and profitable, so two former Antarctic Press employees decided to continue publishing them under a brand-new comic company, Radio Comix.

Radio Comix began publishing Furrlough with issue #52 in April 1997, and it has been published monthly since then. As of April 2007, over 160 issues have been published, with several hundred contributors appearing over the years. The most popular stories to appear in Furrlough (as voted by its readers) include: Full Knight Gear by Michael Vega, Heebas by Scotty Arsenault, The Otters by Scott Mills, Stosstrupp by Ted Sheppard, and Tall Tails by Daphne Lage.
