Anthro is a bimonthly furry online fanzine which started with its September/October 2005 issue. Its editor/webmaster/Lord High Everything Else is Quentin 'Cubist' Long, who performed pretty much the same suite of duties for his other (now dead) fanzine TSAT. Long's partner-in-crime, Michael W. Bard, recently elected to step down from the associate-editorial duties he'd been fulfilling for Anthro (as he'd previously fulfilled for TSAT).
Curiously, neither Long nor Bard consider themselves to be furries. Long's primary goal for Anthro is to make it a known source of high-quality furry material, including (but not limited to) stories, art, columns, fact articles, poetry, webcomics, reviews, and whatever else furdom-at-large can come up with. Long hopes that the zine's readers will enjoy it enough that they choose to support it in a concrete manner, thereby providing enough revenue that Long can actually afford to pay his contributors.
Anthro carries a number of regular features, over and above its complement of stories and poems and fact articles.
