A bilious and vitriolic cartoonist living in Atlanta, who pines for the days of great fantasy comics. You know, before everything was a corporate icon, and before cartoons looked like advertising for breakfast cereals.

NOTES

  • First clear appearance of Drymouth’s king, M’Hoa M’Hoa (he appeared in silhouette in #119)
  • M’Hoa M’Hoa sounds identical to Brian Blessed as “Boss Nass”, from 1999’s Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (hence Corny’s inappropriate comment)
  • M’Hoa M’Hoa’s “constructed language” can be better understood if spoken aloud
  • “Backlandic treachdugglery”- could this refer to Fargon and Karbunkel, or Shoadom? Or something else?
  • Originally published on Christmas, 2011
