On the origin of furries...
I am aware that many people trace the origin of the furry subculture to the early 1980s, but from what I have read I believe that this basically just refers to the creation of an actual group of people coming together and calling themselves "furry".
I am curious to know if perhaps there were people who thought of themselves in the same ways as a modern-day furry in days long before 1980. Given that there are many portrayals in cartoons which predate 1980 of anthropomorphic characters, and even artwork of other anthropomorphic creatures going back a very long way beyond cartoons. I believe that ancient Egyptians had several of these type of beings, and I am sure that you can include many from Greek folklore as well. So, while I personally think that at the very least anthropomorphic characters have been around for an incredibly long amount of time, the more specific question that I am asking is at what point did a human identify themselves as an anthropomorphic creature?
It just seems to me that while it may not have had a name or even a group of people who came together to form a subculture, surely, by definition, a furry was realized by someone if not many people a very long time ago, right?

Two Adventurous Mice
More from the MIPTV convention, as reported by Animation Magazine: “Global entertainment company DQ Entertainment and Foothill Europe Limited have announced an agreement to develop, co-produce and distribute CG-animated buddy comedy Raz & Benny… The stereoscopic-3D CGI show is created by U.K.-based director Simon Hodgkiss of Rockkiss DME and follows two mice whose ambitions are bigger than their brains, but whose good luck is as endless as their friendship. With their eccentric pal Lilly, dare-devil Raz and cautious Benny are always off on one adventure or another–whether posing as international spies, scuba-diving submarine rescuers or jungle explorers.” Vimeo has a preview video that includes an animatic of Foothill’s development work.

Eve Online Players?
Hey all,
Been slowly getting back into Eve Online and I was wondering if anyone on here played. To go further, I'm also looking to get involved with an active corp, perhaps leaning towards more combat-oriented. Not sure if there is a furry-centric corp active and whatnot, but figured I'd throw it out there.
Much appreciated!

I think /r/Furry might enjoy these
Some fan made SWAT Kats bumps I put together.
I realize I misspelled "Metallikats" in the bumps themselves.
