If you are a dragon who has been affected by any of the issues raised in this book cover, please contact the number given after the programme.

Slow down! We’re going to crash in the mountain! AAArgh!

Now, topology isn’t my field of study, but that dragon seems to have two heads and no proper limbs…how does it land?
August 31st, 2016 at 11:32 am
The dragon’s two heads have a frank and open discussion about where to land, arrive at a compromise… and crash on a poorly chosen site.

The inspiration for that notable cinematic triumph Quest for Camelot…

Shortly followed by “The Forging of the Royalty Check”

Reminds me of the Ride of the Valkyries helicopter attack scene from Apocalypse Now only with live music by Andy Gibb.

“Book I of Wizard and Dragon”
OK, I’ll just assume that titles are not Robert ‘Don’ Hughes’ Forte. Either that or that really is a young Eric Idle on the cover and the whole thing is a lessor known Python genre parody.

Segway was a wizard, which was bad enough. But now he had become a ravaging monster with two mouths!
THE GORGING OF THE DRAGON
August 31st, 2016 at 4:21 pm
The awkwardness of starting a singing duo but not including your other head.
August 31st, 2016 at 4:21 pm
Is it ‘forging’ or ‘forcing’?
If the former, it’s obviously a counterfeit because of the whole two heads thing but the latter…

The Forcinc of the Dracon?
August 31st, 2016 at 4:31 pm
@Tat: does it look like that fellow in the Elvis jumpsuit wants to be flying, so fast, so far up? The dragon’s forcing him along.

Seagrams was a whiskey, which was bad enough. But now he had become ravaging monster, hopelessly addicted to Green Dragons.
THE GORGING AT THE FLAGON

Fred said: “Reminds me of the Ride of the Valkyries helicopter attack scene from Apocalypse Now only with live music by Andy Gibb.”
You realize what this means…?
Well, you can tell by the way I scream in fear
I’m a dragon man: no time to steer
Music loud and dragon’s breath, I’ve been flyin’ ’round
Near certain death
And it’s not all right, it’s not okay
And you may have to run away
We can try to change my course
If I can move both dragons’ heads
When you’re flyin’ a two-headed dragon
You’re barely alive, barely alive
Your gonads breakin’ and your stomach’s shakin’
And we’re barely alive, barely alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, barely alive, barely alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, barely aliii-iii-iiive….

Eric Idle clone:
“Hey, stop sucking in all the flies and mosquitoes. Save some for me!”
Second Dragon head:
“Yeah, me too! Nothing’s making it back here with you two gorging so greedily.”

By the way, why are dragons always green? I think that’s reptile profiling.

Our refugee from the 1970s is clearly freaking out because he’s handcuffed to the dragon, and because he’s realized the dragon doesn’t have any limbs with which to land properly. Wouldn’t you be panicking too, in that situation?

Attack of the flying-filker. Bravo Yngve.

@a.r.yngve Bravo and thanks for the earworm. Off to the lingerie department to look for Pelmen the Powershaper.

Stay tuned for book II of Wizard and Dragon:
THE COUNTERFEITING OF THE DRAGON
January 28th, 2017 at 1:44 pm
At the very least, they didn’t use this cover art…

Salem was for potheads, which was bad enough. But now, they had become ravenous monsters!
