🔞 I say lots of heck words and post questionable smut. Stick around if that's your thing, but if you're below legal age to view such things in your jurisdiction, kindly go someplace else.

Some vintage "LinuxFox" web buttons made from the original art by Al Mackey by his brother Ed Mackey. I haven't seen these around, so I'm posting them. That second one with the broken glass Linux text is epic. Dated circa 96 - 98 - can you believe furries are that old? If you're interested in the source and other sizes (also has the original LinuxFox image, they're all gifs for some reason), there's an archived copy here.

those are incredible and huge for web images from that era 💜

they are all gifs because the common understanding of the time was that a 16 (or whatever pallet size) color indexed gif was smaller than any other image format, there were a lot of editors for gifs, they could do pixel-perfect saturated artwork unlike low quality jpgs which made everything mushy and washed out

so a lot of the internet was made of non-animated gifs made with just a handful of bold colors

people would probably by annoyed at how slow the full sized LinuxFox images loaded, with a top of the line 56K modem taking at least 4 seconds per image, partially because the gifs are a gratuitous 256 colors! 😱
