As we have noted before, Jay Hosler is a biology professor with a special interest in bugs — or more precisely, insects. And they like to channel that interest into writing and illustrating full-color graphic novels for young readers — like their most recent creation, Ant Story. “Meet Rubi, a tiny ant with a big personality and an even bigger love for stories. Who knew the small world of her colony could be full of unexpected friendships, epic adventures, and death-defying escapes? Follow Rubi on the journey of a lifetime as she uncovers the mystery and wonder of one of the world’s tiniest, mightiest insects.” Look for it now from Harper Collins.

What Are YOU Doing In Your Spare Time…?

Recently on Cartoon Brew we stumbled across an article about a new animated short film called Forevergreen — created by Disney Story vet Jeremy Spears and Disney animator Nathan Engelhardt, literally in their off hours… along with something like 200 friends volunteering their time. A CGI film, Forevergreen is specially crafted to look like one of Jeremy Spears’ passions, wood carving. “In the film, an orphaned bear cub is taken in by a fatherly tree. As the mischievous cub grows up, his attention wanders, and a hunger for trash leads to big trouble.” The article features an interview with Jeremy, lots of behind-the-scenes development art, and a special preview clip as well.

They’re All Good Furries

Recently the annual Good Furry Awards were presented at Another Furry Con in Ontario, California. Hosted by Grubbs Grizzly (the Ask Papabear fella!), the awards celebrate individuals and groups who demonstrate “outstanding spirit in the furry community” — as selected and voted on by the furry fans themselves! This year the Good Egg Award (for charitable and volunteer work) went to Yappy Slyfox, who not only helped to create Megaplex and the Funday Pawpet Show but also performs as a puppeteer for Give Kids The World (an organization that helps out children with life-threatening illnesses). The Image Award (for presenting a positive image of the fandom through various media media) went to Digging Up Positivity, a regular video show (hosted by Thabo Meerkat) about furry fans helping out with charities around the world. The Furtastic Award (for all-around Good Furries in several categories) went to Photographotter, who went above and beyond the call of duty by offering to donate a kidney to his best friend from VR Chat, halfway around the world. (The whole story was portrayed in The Reality of Hope, an excellent documentary short directed by Joe Hunting. Look for it!) And finally, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Ken Fletcher, co-creator of the fanzine Vootie and the Spontoon Island shared universe — and a dedicated supporter of “funny animal” art from before there was a fandom! Congratulations to all the winners and nominees! Visit the Good Furry Awards web site to find out more — and remember to vote for them again in 2026!

Things a Cat Wasn’t Meant to Know

Look, we don’t know where this came from either — but here it is! Mutant Cats, the graphic novel. “Mutant Labs is your typical science lab. They do work on rockets, gene splicing, finding cures, and you know…inter-dimensional energy type stuff. The company is currently working on their potentially biggest breakthrough yet: a renewable energy device strong enough to power an entire city block, but small enough to fit into the palm of your paw: about the size of a ball of yarn, and comprised of a powerful synthetic thread that draws power from alternate planes of existence. It’s complicated, but it works, trust us. So what’s this great innovation called? Mutant Labs are currently calling it: The Cluster. But with all great inventions, hubris is always a problem. The Mutant Labs higher-ups want the Cluster ready for market “yesterday”, forcing project leader Flux and his team of idiot geniuses to scramble and cut some corners to get it working in time for the big event. But taking shortcuts can be dangerous when you’re working with that inter-dimensional energy type stuff. With realities overlapping, we’ve now entered the Mutantverse. And let me tell you, it’s a real cluster fu@%.” What we do know is it was written by Matthew Medney and Morgan Rosenblum, with illustration by Alex Arizmendi. And it’s available now from Gungnir.

Not long ago we came across the announcement for an upcoming video game called Beastro — which if nothing else, wins some kind of pun award! But more than that, it’s an anthropomorphic game with a very unusual angle on the common fantasy tropes: “In Beastro, play as Panko, a young, talented chef, helping to run the local eatery. When Panko’s teacher goes missing, a mysterious visitor arrives with warnings of the dangers beyond the wall. It’s up to Panko to step up and take over the restaurant, farm and forage for ingredients and tend to  patrons. But that’s not all, Panko also finds himself serving the Caretakers, brave adventurers, sent to save the world. In this adventure, preserving peace starts in the kitchen! Through cooking minigames Panko will chop, sizzle and flip his way to success.” Look for it from Timberline Studios, on Steam in 2026.

Recently we came across the Haru series of graphic novels, written and illustrated by Joe Latham. First up is Spring: “In The Valley, best friends Haru (a small bird) and Yama (a talkative boar) both dream of leaving as they’re bullied at school, frustrated at home, and struggling to figure out who they are. One day, a powerful artifact connects itself to Yama, and they discover that they’ll have to journey to The Beacon in search of answers.” More issues have followed — and all of them are available now from Simon & Schuster.

The Best Friend You Need

Word is getting around about Good Boy, a new and unique supernatural horror that premiered last March at SXSW. Here’s the description: “Following the death of a family member, Todd (Shane Jensen) relocates with his dog Indy to an old rural farmhouse once owned by his grandfather (Larry Fessenden). Although the house is rumored to be haunted, Todd ignores the warnings. However, Indy begins to see disturbing supernatural presences throughout the home — entities invisible to humans but all too real to him. Unable to communicate his fears to Todd, Indy must confront and understand the malevolent forces threatening his owner. As the supernatural activity escalates, the dog’s loyalty is put to the ultimate test in a desperate attempt to protect his human companion.” Director Ben Leonberg used his own real-life dog Indy in the starring role, and much of the film is shot as from Indy’s perspective. Having received rave reviews at SXSW, the film is slowly making its way around to art theaters. Be on the lookout!
