The Birth of Trogdor

In Strong Bad Email #58, a fan asks Strong Bad to draw a dragon. What follows is a masterclass in improvisational character design:

  1. First, draw an 'S' for Snake... or Dragon...
  2. Then a more different 'S'
  3. Consummate V's for teeth
  4. Add spinities along the back
  5. Give him a beefy arm for good measure

"TROGDOR WAS A MAN! I mean, he was a dragon-man! Or maybe he was just a dragon... But he was still TROGDOR!"
