Name that cover II
Readers sent in scores of possible titles
for
Daniel Horne’s cover painting for DRAGON
issue

fishing,
and “Gimme five!” (Hal Lewis, Williamson NY).
Sometimes, whole families sent in entries.
Our
personal favorites included the following:

The longest response was from Heather
McDonald of Gaithersburg, Md., who was taken
by the sea troll’s “Jimmy Carter grin,” and
so
envisioned the troll as a used-boat salesman:
"Yes, sir, Mr. Bar Barian. This little baby's
only
got a few thousand miles on it! It was
owned by
a little old boatman named Charon who used to
take it across the River Styx. . . ."
Ramon Munoz II of Pasadena, Tex., spoke for
everyone when he added, “The cover painting
was great! Keep up the GREAT work, Daniel!”
No argument there.

Heh!
I've used the Venus line
to "paint with pencils"!
My aunt was a high school
art teacher, my pal Tom Keogh won a proze from the Audabon society for
an airbrish drawing of a bird and I can draw water as well as anyone
Cheers,
