First actual published issue was later. 2:28 Omaha the cat dancer didn't cause the raids. It was one of many titles picked up in the raids. 7:40 The "Burned Furs" were not the first puritanical movement to attempt to "clean up" the fandom. 8:56 The fursuit parade was also intended to show the Dealers Den sellers the costumed guests, since they couldn't leave their tables. 10:29 Lots of Furry comics were published in the 80's and 90's, but shifted online with fandom preferences. Today we see a resurgence of fandom print publishing. Thanks to our fact-checkers Summerotter, Chip Fox and Dronon for these addendum's.
