Rowrbrazzle

Rowrbrazzle, also known as Brazzle, is an amateur press association (APA) magazine devoted to funny animal cartoon illustration, that for a long time was a bulwark for furry fandom. The word is a misspelling of "rowrbazzle!", an exclamation used at times by the characters in Walt Kelly's comic-strip Pogo.

History
Rowrbrazzle was co-created by Marc Schirmeister, Timothy Fay and John Cawley in 1983 as a result of the cessation of its predecessor, Vootie, with the first issue being distributed to its first contributors in February 1984. Fred Patten took over as an official editor five years later in 1989, and served in this position for the next 17 years, until he had to step down in 2005 due to illness. Mike Curtis, Edd Vick, Michael J. Susko Jr. and others served as interim editors until the new permanent editor, William Earl Haskell was found. He served until 2016 until he had to step down due to failing health, and Edd Vick became official editor once again.

The first issue was distributed to the association membership in February 1984. It is still published quarterly as of 2018, with the 139th issue having the cover date of October 2018. Rowrbrazzle is always looking for new members. Furry writers, artists, or journalists are invited to contact Vick.
