A special guest post from none other than Papa Bear himself, Grubbs Grizzly:

“Hi!  Last week the Good Furry Awards were presented at Anthro SoCal in Ontario, California. This is the eighth year of the awards, and some special announcements were made. The Good Furry Awards were founded in 2019 by Grubbs Grizzly and are sponsored by Uncle Bear Publishing (www.unclebearpublishing.com) and the furry advice column Ask Papabear (www.askpapabear.com). Furries are nominated by their peers in three categories:

  1. The Good Egg Award for charitable work
  2. The Image Award for broadcasting, and
  3. The Furtastic Award for other works of kindness and generosity
The nominees are then voted on by fans like you! Winners receive a handsome trophy and a small cash award. There is also a Lifetime Achievement Award for furries who have dedicated decades of their lives to the furry fandom and have had a significant impact on it.
This year, the winners were…
Paco Panda for the Good Egg Award
I’m Definitely Not a Popufur for the Image Award
and
Shy Matsi for the Furtastic Award
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to Uncle Kage.
This year, a one-time-only Special Award was created and presented to Mango Axollama because they have received more nominations (6 out of 8 years, and it would have been 7 but they declined one year) and more votes than any other furry when you combine them over the years. Chair Grubbs Grizzly said, “I was starting to call Mango the Susan Lucci of the furry fandom for being nominated so many times without winning, and I really believed all the generous things he has done for his community merited recognition, so we created this unique award for a unique, kind, and very modest but deserving furry.”
The second very special announcement this year was that, starting in 2027, the Lifetime Achievement Award will be renamed The Sylys Sable Award for Lifetime Achievement in honor of the late Mark Merlino.
You can read more about the winners and the awards by visiting the Good Furry Awards web site.”
Thanks Papa Bear, thanks to all the voters, and congratulations to all the winners!

Kindred Dragons is a new full-color graphic novel written and illustrated by Sarah Mensinga. “Alice has been unhappy ever since her parents sent her to Prince Edward Island to live with her strict grandmother. Alice is fanciful, prone to telling tall tales, and absolutely OBSESSED with dragons! Fairies deliver dragon eggs to a select few, known as Kindreds, but no egg has ever arrived for Alice. While wandering the woods alone, she finds and secretly befriends a mysterious old dragon named Brim. Alice is excited to finally have a dragon friend of her own, but when Brim suddenly falls ill, Alice must set out on a desperate quest to save him. As Alice searches for a cure, she discovers that her connection to dragons is unlike that of any Kindred—but will her new power be enough to save her friend?” Find out that and more, thanks to Abrams Books.

Recently we came across Thorn the Unicorn, a fantasy graphic novel series for young readers, written by Josh Oaktree (of Oak Tree Comics) and illustrated by A. D’Amico. Here’s the story in a nutshell: “When best friends Jack and Rosie discover an injured unicorn in the Fayre Woods, they risk their lives to come to her aid. Ruthless Lord Aldred and his guard of hunters are desperate to capture the elusive unicorn — anything to find a cure for the mysterious disease that plagues the land of Faerie. Can Jack and Rosie keep Thorn the unicorn safe, or will the Kingdom of the Seven Tapestries continue unraveling until there is no magic left to protect?” Now the tale has been gathered together in paperback.

Another graphic novel we found at QCon is Dogs On Dates, written and illustrated by Luke Healy. We’ll let him explain it: “Bernie — a confident, chill, and world-wise gay, trans, short Seth Rogen type — is fresh from telling his college advisor that he’s dropping out of art school. Absentmindedly, he walks into a plate glass window, bashing his face. Before he can even formulate gratitude for the window not breaking… Brad — a sweet-natured, kindhearted romantic, who is not cool, but nice, which is actually better — arrives at the school for a gig to teach students about the merits of caring for the environment. Dressed as an earth mascot, “Earthy,” he walks into the glass from the other side. But this time, it smashes. In totality. With Bernie and Brad off to the hospital together, is this the gay dog meet-cute we’ve all been searching for? Of course, dating is never so simple. Hilariousness and awkwardness ensue as our two love dogs face misadventures, mishaps, and missteps… but also flowers, pasta, sandwiches, and maybe even love.” And you can follow along, in paperback from Drawn & Quarterly.

Recently discovered at QCon: Plain Jane and the Mermaid, a new-ish graphic novel by Eisner Award winner Vera Brosgol. “Jane is incredibly plain. Everyone says so: Her parents, the villagers, and her horrible cousin who kicks her out of her own house. Determined to get some semblance of independence, Jane prepares to propose to the princely Peter. It’s a good plan! Or it would’ve been, if he wasn’t kidnapped by a mermaid. Jane must venture underwater to rescue her maybe-fiancé. But the depths of the ocean hold beautiful mysteries and dangerous creatures. What good can a plain Jane do? Drawn into an unexpected bond, Jane must navigate a shifting reality where magic and danger intertwine, and where every choice carries weight. As she moves between two worlds, she begins to question what she truly wants—and what she’s willing to risk to find it.” Did we mention the talking seal? We should. Plain Jane is available in paperback from First Second. There’s a detailed review over at Comics Beat, too.
