BIG LINCOLN SENDS YOU TO HELL

“I get it, you’re saying I’ll have a tough time finding a job like my dad’s.”

The first anime club in the United States was the Cartoon Fantasy Organization in New York in the late 1970s, who met in the basement of the Polish Democratic Club. Anime tapes were so precious they could only be traded usually, not sold (and with translation scripts if you were lucky). The mascot of the group was a weasel named Fanta. 

If you were an anime fan prior to the 80s, you had to be in a club because anime was so rare that you could only get it at screenings in clubs and conventions. 

These tags on my reblog made me curious so I wanted to do a little research myself!

Fanta actually isn’t a weasel, she’s a weasel-like alien called a skiltaire!

Here is some art of her in full colour by artist Ken Sample.

Fanta was created by Mark Merlino, a writer who is considered by some as one of the founders of the furry fandom. His long-term partner Rod O'Riley, a co-founder of ConFurance who also runs programming for Califur, is also thought of as one of the founders of the furry fandom who you may be confusing with Ken Sample.

Kid reported his father missing

Police torture him into making him confess to killing his father

Not much compared to $100k, you might say, and you’re correct. But you know what made this so fucking low, and why I’m still mad about it?

Also in that suitcase was my Girl Scout vest. And my stuff for summer camp, like kids’ sunscreen and kid-sized wading shoes. And a stuffed animal.

It would have been blatantly obvious they were stealing FROM A CHILD. I’d done extra chores for a month to earn that money so I could buy stuff from the camp store. It’s not much in whole amounts, but it was a lot when I was twelve, and that was MY life savings.
