I guess, while I'm hunting down musterluds in Magic, I might as well mention the tragically errata'd--hang on... Joven's Ferrets are still ferrets? gatherer.wizards.com/search?insta... This is HUGE news! Oh my god it was reprinted as Creature - Ferret

I mean, it'll do. Fun fact: everyone's go-to Creature subtype fun fact used to be "Did you know there's only one Brushwagg in Magic?" but that's no longer true--there's still only one Sable, though!

A Magic Gathering: The card named Bronze Sable with art depicting a sable that's, you're not gonna believe this, made of bronze. It's standing there kinda mustelidly while banners or something fall around it. Two (generic) mana Artifact Creature - Sable. 2/1, no rules text. Flavour reads: "The Champion stood alone between the horde of the Returned and the shrine to Karametra, cutting down scored among hundreds. She would have been overcome if not for the aid of the temple guardians whom Karametra awakened. --The Theriad"

Mushroom: a good source of Zink

A Magic: das Gathering card with lots of rules text BLERG but more importantly, art of three mustelids running amok (swinging from lights, pulling on the focal character's feather-hair, and grabbing onto her tail while eating a slice of pizza). Center point is a big gray lizard mutant with glasses talking on the phone but the other mutants really do just look like oversized pet martens with accessories (one is in an ascot and two are wearing little ragged cloaks)

I JUST learned there's a new mustelid in MtG (despite being in a set I played in Standard, whoops) and this card sees actual competitive play 🤩️

A Magic card with a lot of COMPLEX RULES BLERG but more importantly is some kinda pine marten (i think? maybe a mink with cool countershading on the tummy) spilling paint on itself, doing a painting on a wee bent-copper-wire easel, wearing a smock full of artist supplies. ALSO A BERET

Probably not starting FFIII until my new headphones come in (this is also an excuse to take a wee break) but, scouting ahead a bit, I can say the lore finally gets good:

screenshot of a fan wiki IN LIGHT MODE UUUUUGH

Pencil drawing of a wool-lined hood with cat ears sewn on top

Title: Cat-Ear Hood

Intro quote: "Sewn of white mage's thread; it is possible to make one of these hats without the ears, but no one with any sense at all would consider wearing it."
Attributed to: Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

Article: The Cat-Ear Hood (Nekomimi Foudo), also known as the Cat-Hood, is a recurring piece of equipment in the Final Fantasy series. It is a white hood with cat ears worn by White Mages and similar job classes, such as the Seer. While it is occasionally a piece of equipment, most times it is part of a job's design shown in artwork or sprites.

AHA. I don't know why I came back to this and definitely don't change your image, but I FOUND IT (exhibit A). CFO New York's mascot~ (exhibit B)

Advert for Cartoon / Fantasy Organisation of New York, featuring some times and dates as well as a large picture of Astro Boy and a small picture of Anima, a sort of pixie-Skiltaire cross, manning what looks like an 8mm projector.

Comic titled "Anima • tion" by Kenneth Sample
Panel 1: "Hi! Do you know me?" - Anima looking over her shoulder at viewer. Feline/mustelid-like with dragonfly wings and butterfly antennae.
Panel 2: "If you attend the meetings of the C/FO New York, you might know my name." (Bold text for emphasis lost). Anima flying over some buildings, about to land on an HVAC duct.
Panel 3: "But some people still confuse me with Fanta of the C/FO Los Angeles." - " (I can't be blamed for my creator's lack of originality and immagin--" [Narrator: Cut out the slander and follow the script.] "Sorry." Anima standing with hand on (fluffy) chest, making an angry gesture.
Panel 4: "Well anyway, that's why I carry a C/FO Card" "It's good for discounts at C/Fo Meetings and concentions all over the country. It also has my name on it. So, the next time you see me, remember the word 'animation'." A rather handsome closeup of Anima, holding a C/FO card (conspicuously containing an image of Fanta).

Is this the first time we've seen Magic depicted on a black border?

A Magic: th Gathering card with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles playing a game of Magic in the art. Not familiar with the iteration, but Raph's mask covers his whole scalp, Don has cutting goggles on his forehead, and Mike has a shoulder strap. There's also a yellow-masked turtle in a white gi and a wee marshmallow-looking fellow playing a game of Magic against Michelangelo.

Card title: Lessons from Life. Two, Green, Blue.
Sorcery, uncommon (set symbol is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle head)
Rules text: Draw three cards. You may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped.
Flavour text: "Everyone's got their own strengths, Lita. You never know what cards they might play. Instead, focus on what you know and never doubt your choices." --Michelangelo

To craft this new fabric made entirely of greatly screaming frogs, all you need is a loom and twenty-one greatly screaming frogs.

Cartoon frogs screaming by opening their mouths unreasonably tall (easily twenty times their width high, of mouth). There are many of them entangled in what appears to be a nightmare Dr Seuss had once.

Century-old painting of a furry convention. The men pictured all have ferret fursonae.

1924 painting by Nild von Dardel, "Columbus' Egg". A VERY sassy, well-dressed man points down at a egg standing up on a table. Equally dapper, older gentlemen around him lose their minds like he just destroyed someone in a rap battle. Hands in the air, foreheads being slapped, the works.
