It's Critter Time!

the barker is a furry magazine based out the UK and they just released issue #3. there’s an interview in it with me when i was over in the UK on tour, but there’s also fantastic art, news, graphic design, and reviews that you should check out.

digital copy is only £2 and a print copy is £5 (not including shipping).

WOW the cover design goes CRAZYYYYYY... fantastic design work. Will have to pick these up soon!!

Oh raaaaad, had no idea this was a thing! This looks incredibly cool! Just ordered a physical copy of issue #3!

Thanks for letting us know about this!

*Very* cool. About time we had something new like this. Thank you for sharing!

Extremely cool! I wonder how much it would be to get other furry mags started

I actually gave that question some thought after a recent obsession with researching 1980s furry zines. It'd take a lot of effort in order to do a good job, but it'd be a lot fun to contribute.

Well I made a purchase.

Real OGs would know that I used to make something similar way, way, way back in the day, so I'm hella happy to see that publishing independent zines is still a thing in the fandom.

Oh Pent Up Pup right on the second cover. I saw them perform live recently with a few local furry and non-furry musicians

I ordered a physical copy of this, since I prefer reading things like this on a not-screen. Glad to see there's a dedicated furry magazine.

So coooool! Getting all of them (tho #1 is sold out, know how I could get a digital copy? :c ).

Look what arrived in the mail the other day.

I work for an erotic zine called Dragon's Hoard and there have been other erotic zines, but this is the first time I've seen one that's fully SFW! Really a cool idea, I'll have to check it out!!

EDIT: Oh, wait, I see it's 18+ haha. I just assumed it was SFW bc it was posted here. Still interested!

This was great! I picked up #2 and #3 digitally (I can't even imagine what the tariffs are doing to shipping to the US) and loved them. Wolfears, I really vibed with what you said about furry being inherently queer, and how it's more nebulous that one prescribed idea of "furry."

Good stuff, I can't wait for the next issue.
