Between Issue 4 and Issue 47 lies a vast gap representing the "Lost Era" of Softpaw .

The "New" designation often attached to the late-era issues suggests a relaunch or a significant paradigm shift, likely coinciding with the shift from PDF distribution to modern app-based or high-definition digital formats.
