Endnotes & Digressions:

1. People I did not see at Faerieworlds (distinguishing this “Land of Faerie” event from other fantasy gatherings): barbarians; brutes; jousters; mead-swilling letches; and armor-wearing guys with mullets swordfighting for points with tape-mummified “swords.”

Faerieworlds feels more like a laid-back hippie masquerade, basically.

2. Would you like to know more? You can visit the event’s official Web site at www.faerieworlds.com.

Lettering too small? You can download a high-rez PDF of this comic (which restores the opening panels' original widescreen layout) right here: CulturePulp64.pdf
