I was just reminded of 'Cricket: The Magazine for Children'. The 'New Yorker' for under 18s who felt over 50. And source of all those adolescent feelings about that handsome Lion in a Jacket illustration who you think might be kinda hot, and now you're a Furry.
@jayblanc Image description: a stately anthropomorphic lion in Napoleonic era military regalia looking off into the distance. To their side, a flag with the UK's Union Flag inset atop US-style white & red stripes. The logo "cricket" sits above.
Mind, Warner and Disney had been awakening furries for years before, ne? ^_^
