Some of us like themes. Some of us prefer unthemed sub calls. But what about dual-themed issues?
A few issues ago, we explored two themes at once - SLITHER/SWIM was our sixth issue, and we had a lot of fun putting it together! What do you all think of us doing another dual-themed issue sometime?

So… what exactly is a Moss Puppy? If you’re new here, you might not know what our magazine is named after. Moss Puppies are small, green canines with mossy fur. Originally populating the Swamplands, they had not been seen for many years until our Moss Puppy was born on the Island of Puppy Love.
