Many years ago, I was a major Dungeons & Dragons fanatic (so performing at Renaissance Festivals is no big change for my world). I used to read every issue of Dragon Magazine cover to cover. And gamed for hours on end. But one of my biggest joys about reading Dragon was a wonderful comic strip called SnarfQuest.

SnarfQuest was an imaginative story by Larry Elmore about some strange creature named Snarf who went out in search of money and glory so that he could become king of his homeland. It was such a wonderful story, I bought a copy of it for my mom and she even enjoyed it. But then the book went out of print. Lo and behold, I'm surfing the web last night, and I happen upon the story. And the book has been republished too!

If you have a wee bit'o'time and want to read a great story, head on over to Larry Elmore's website and read the 9 chapters of the book that got me hooked.But be warned. It's an addictive story!
