Here's another relic from the archives. You young whippersnappers may not know that "Anthropomorphine" was a zine.

You may not even know that a zine was a bundle of papers which was taken down to Kinko's and copied, stapled together, and distributed by mail to subscribers on a regular basis. We didn't have FurAffinity back then (graphics on 1990s internet was pretty bad, low-resolution, and took a long time to load) so this was pretty much the only way to see "furry" art without going to a convention. Black-and-white linework was king, because color was just too expensive and nobody was willing to pay what it cost to print in color.

While my interest in walking and/or talking animal people goes way back past being at "that age when it became a different kind of interest" and into times before I can remember, and I hadn't hit that point yet in 1997, I definitely remember those days of 1990s internet. Kind of amazing it got as far as it did, every time I think about it, and even though it's a time period I clearly remember, I have to admit that it's fascinating to look back at the pre-everything-is-always-online days for something that is now mainly and readily available online. https://i.postimg.cc/yNw6Ms1h/oldman.png

I don't remember much about Anthropomorphine. It was just another zine, a miscellaneous assortment of furry cartoons. This may have been the only time I contributed to it.

I joined the fandom as the internet began to blossom, so I don't recall zines.
