Gene Catlow

By -




This is Gene Catlow, by Albert Temple.  I ran across this when I first started the furry art thing but lost sight of it, a real shame.  As I understand it Albert was one of the original furrys, along with such luminaries as Ken Fletcher, Major Matt, Jerry Collins, the entire Spontoon Island gang, Reed Waller, Kate Worley and many others.  Mr. Temple died a few months ago.





This guy was really good.






His co-creator and significant other was Tawana Gilroy, Cats Whisker.

Because I cannot find a picture of Albert and Tawana together, this will have to do.  I guess I am glad I did not know Mr. Temple, the death of friends always affects me greatly.  He seems to have been something else, and the outpouring of grief on Fur Affinity was genuine and across the board. 
Catlow ran for 16 years, not a bad showing at all.






The rabbit is Cotton Taylor.  Mr. Temple's death was a loss for us all.






 
My site promotes cute anthro bunnies, and this is one of the best I have ever seen.  Not a bloodthirsty, neurotic, thoroughly twisted rabbit at all, like some that I know of.






 I just found his page.  This is a continuation of the strip above.  Cotton discovers a supercoffee that gives him powers, including super speed and the ability to read minds.  What a shame I am just now getting into this.  This is from the year 2000.

But see for yourself.

Oh, yeah, Mr. Temple also brought us Kit n Kayboodle, proving that no one bats a .1000.

 
This is the one picture I could find suitable for this refined and discerning audience.
 
 

 
A crossover.

    His books are for sale, very impressive. Mr. Temple was a big name.

    There are so many great anthro/furry artists out there-I'm glad you found this one! Mr. Temple was very talented!

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

The Cockroach Union and Waterbugs Protective Association

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   ...

Two Different Dragons

  I'm not sure if these dragons are considered "anthro" or "furry"(although they both have a little fur)-but they are both intelligent creatures!  Haku from Spirited Away- He is an eastern dragon with a wolf-like head and white fur/scales and green mane. He can transform into a human boy when he chooses-plus he is also a river spirit/guardian. He never speaks in his dragon form but he is a very intelligent creature. If you have not seen this classic Studio Ghibli movie, please do so! Falkor the luck dragon is from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story. In the original book illustrations, he had the look of a Eastern dragon with a lion's head. In the movie,he had the long body of an Eastern dragon but with a dog-like face. Either way,he is a positive creature who encourages the hero Atreyeu throughout the film. " Believe and good luck will find you"
