Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
Latest on Cedar and Willow, continuing the reinterpretation of the superheroine Power Girl as being a few decades older than she admits to:

It turns out that Power Girl was a Professor of Physics at MIT, a mechanical and electrical Engineer, and a technician-troubleshooter, all a decade before coming into the public eye as a Superheroine (using a technological device, it turns out).Those are some admirable credentials but all that does take some time to accomplish. DC comics really should emphasize that and say "Wow, this woman is a genius-and now she heads up her own computer software firm besides" rather more than saying "she wears a costume that shows some cleavage, woo woo"
Incidentally I am the one that originated the drawing of seams on Power Girl's costume, but I don't know how that particular stylization got back from the Joe Kubert school in 1986 to DC comics after 1990. One of my classmates no doubt passed the idea along.
Best Wishes, Dale D.
