They were at Origins that year, promoting the SuperMegatopia RPG, I guess. Turnaround time was not bad at all… three sketches in … an hour? I think. And he was working on stuff for someone else when I put in the requests. Very happy with the results. ---

Look, if _everything_ about the elves is so much better, a la “farts that smell like flowers”, then that means even their shit has qualities that … uh oh. I think I just figured out the source of lembas bread! Sure gives a whole new meaning to the term “pinch a loaf”. ---
