Dragon Mag 359 - Order of the Stick Cartoon

[Henry]

My apologies if this was mentioned in a previous thread:

I recently purchased Dragon 359, the last issue of Dragon. I got to the cartoon section and lingered over Rich Burlew's Order of the Stick cartoon for at least five minutes; that was a fantastic tribute to the magazine, and to all the comics that went before it. The vignettes of Yamara, Phil & Dixie, Wormy, Knights of the Dinner Table, and probably one or two others I missed were funny to see, and even got a little choked up thinking about all those comics from years past. My hat is off to Rich for the most important article in the book to me. The last image of the dragon flying into the sunset put a perfect endcap on it.

There were some other great tributes in the magazine, but that one stuck out to me more than any of them (though it was appropriate that the LAST article in the book was a Phil & Dixie cartoon). Thanks to all you guys for this great capstone issue, especially Rich for the OotS cartoon.

About the only thing missing was a goodbye paragraph from Kim Mohan or Roger Moore.

Snarfquest is there, of course. That's Snarf and Telerie in the upper left. The one I'm having trouble placing is the guy in the purple hat in the lower left corner.

It's a great cartoon. Even my wife (who reads Dragon only rarely) thought it was poignant.

Cheers

Pretty sure that's Fineous Fingers, star of a comic from the early days of Dragon.

Was there a mention of Wormy? I really miss Dave Trampier's work.

Wormy is there.

I will note that the comic is part of a series. The last few comics tell the story of Dragon through the eyes of the OotS.
