I wouldn’t want to go through life being called Crispy.

Mark Hamill is the Magick Messiah. (The other Guys are just Lego men. I’m not even sure they have souls.)

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we bland of bothers

You just know the working title was “Crispian Magician” and the editor thought that was too on the nose.

Tired of pans that clog up wth fat?
Stll using marker-pens that fade?

Effeteness, thy name is Crispan.

Much as I love the air fryer theory, I find it impossible not to wonder if “Crispin Magicker” is a song by Donovan: perhaps he’s Jennifer Juniper’s cousin or something…

@Max: what kind of idiot would name a fantasy character after a Donovan song?
Oh, wait… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-eFHYBVx68

To me he looks like Anthony Andrews in a bad wig.

That guy on foot with his hand on the bridle is about to be trampled to death while his dwarven crossbow companion will be punted over that precipice in three, two, one…

I’m with @Tracy on this – if you are looking for a magician to bore the bad guys to death, there’s your man…

Even the horse is looking through his eyebrows. Like they’re posing for a band photo.

It sure was nice of the artist to engrave his name and copyright date on the rock wall behind the horse.

Presumably a real wizard will come along, defeat his fairy dust with lightning, and then he will be Crispy. Or maybe a dragon with flames.
Either way, with this wuss on the job, the empire has no hope.
The guy with the sword (Creme?) looks particularly annoyed. “Walkin’ along this narrow gorge is hard enough, I also gotta hold this wimp’s horse cuz he’s too delicate to ride… I’d chuck him over the side but I don’t wanna throw Trooper Crossbow (Godley?) off, he’s having to walk crouched down, guy’s got it bad enough already.”
Crispy there reminds me of the prince from Holy Grail who just wants to siiiing.
@FB: No, I think @Tat’s got it right; that’s definitely Leif and not Mark.
(And now I am picturing a 10cc song to go with, but not sure what.)

@GSS
Looking at the magic glitter Crispan’s throwing around, maybe “Sand In My Face” would work?
November 24th, 2022 at 12:03 am
@Max: Excellent suggestion. And of course, when the glitter gets into his eyes, it’s “Cry”.

“I say, Lord Crispan! How doth thy robe stay so white, on these craggy roads marked by filth and dust?”
“‘Tis but the magic of Tide.”
