Froggy Went A’Filin’

Check out The Froggy Library, a new full-color graphic novel written and illustrated by Julie Fiveash. “Anura is a young frog spending the summer back home with their grandmother. With some…er…gentle prodding from Grandma, they get a job working at the local library. It’s about 11 minutes in when they’re tasked with a big project: Create an archive that captures what makes Soggy Stump so special. What the heck even is an archive?! And so begins a summer full of fry bread, weaving, zines, community gardens, manga, and (maybe) an answer to the question of: How do we preserve the knowledge, wisdom, and memories of the ones we love?” This semi-autobiographical story is a celebration of indigenous communities, gender fluidity, and of course libraries.

This Story Should Be Herd

Goat Magic is a “new fairy tale” graphic novel, written and illustrated by cartoonist Kate Wheeler. In the Kingdom of Capeya there lived a goat-herder named Trill. She had a unique, magical ability to communicate with the herd under her care. But she was bored with her life, as what she really wanted was to be a wizard and work some real magic. Also in the Kingdom lived Princess Alya, heir to the throne. What she really wanted was to be anything other than a princess. But then an assassination attempt leaves Alya with a terrible curse: Every sunrise, she transforms into a black goat. Running off to hide in the countryside, Alya discovers that Trill’s magical gift might just be the thing that could break the evil spell. Want to know more? Visit Oni Press and find out!

Still Lurking About

Many years ago, the writer and artist Patrick Scullin got on the radar of many furry fans with his illustrated steampunk adventure Pandamonium: Death of a King. Well, it turns out he’s still around, teaching graphic arts at Riverside City College in California — and, still finding time to make comics, some of them definitely furry! Ninja Pig, for instance, goes like this: “In a land where loyalty is sacred and betrayal is death, a noble samurai’s life is cut short  — not in war, but by the hand of a jealous brother-in-arms. But this warrior’s story doesn’t end with the blade. Through forbidden mystic arts, his soul survives — transferred into the body of the nearest living vessel: A humble, wallowing pig.” Then in a sillier vein, there’s Stray: Toaster Trouble. “The tale of a stray coyote and his band of misfit pets as they defend their suburban backyard with humor and heart from enemies foreign and domesticated.” Find both of these and more at the artist’s official web site.

Don’t Mess with a Miracle

Author G.W. Olson has a new science fiction novel out, Tears of a Thousand Years — proudly featuring a cast of various non-human furry species. “On her first assignment as a Rememberer, Vega travels to Small Home, the newest planet the Race adopted. The planet’s inhabitants, the Caelings, are a friendly native species with an agrarian culture. Vega has heard reports of a native who performs miracles, and she wants to record him and other Caelings for her people because she knows that someday the Caelings will be gone. She takes her younger brother to assist her and travels into the back-country to find this miracle worker. The townspeople tell her amazing stories about Tantea, the teacher of miracles. When Vega meets him, she believes he is a charlatan –until Tantea picks out the star she comes from in the night sky and convinces her. Yet, a miracle worker is hard to fool. When he finds out the Race’s longevity and indifference always result in Vega’s people destroying the native populations with their carelessness, he becomes furious and decides to grant Vega a miracle she inadvertently asked for — one that will throw her entire civilization into chaos but gives her people a chance at redemption.” Take a look over at Barnes & Noble.

Raccoon of Righteousness

We found a new (to us!) comic series from Dark Horse, one that claims to be “Hellboy meets Redwall“. William of Newbury was created by Michael Avon Oeming, who previously brought us the well-known Mice Templar series. Here’s what Dark Horse says: “Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as ‘The Anarchy’. A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons. William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul. Newbury is dark, yet quaint, deadly yet cute. Follow him as he negotiates with thieves, evades his brother and the church, and battles the undead and evil spirits.” Issues 1 through 4 are now together in a trade paperback.

Elementary, My Dear Truffles

Meet two pets with very different views on life in The Great Puptective, the first in a graphic novel series written and illustrated by Alina Tysoe. “Truffles the cat is the only pet in the house and reigns in peace and quiet, only exerting himself to find the best place to take a nice, long nap — preferably in a spot of warm sunshine. Then Poppy the puppy bursts onto the scene. Poppy is loud, enthusiastic, excitable, and — worst of all — a puptective! She’s got an eye for crime and a nose to solve all mysteries that come her way… even though she’s not completely sure what a mystery is. Truffles cannot let this intrusion stand. Poppy won’t be able to continue disrupting his precious me-time if she’s shipped to the North Pole! But could this irrepressible new companion be just what this grumpy cat needs?” This and more adventures are available from Simon & Schuster.
