/prothro/ - Proto-Anthro General

What is proto-anthro?

Proto-anthro is a broad term invented by me that describes the “furry fandom” before it was known as such.

Proto-anthro as an era ended after the attacks on the World Trade Center in September 11th, 2001.

Proto-anthro can be dated all the way back to the dawn of storytelling, an ancient example are Aesop’s Fables, which the most popular being The Fox and the Grapes.

This thread is meant for posting proto-anthros, proto-anthro is a very loose term, but it basically means absolutely *any* anthropomorphic animal caricature made before 9/11.

Would you consider CJ Cherryh a "furry"?
What about Brian Jacques? Was he even aware of the fandom or community at the time?
