1998 Dargon Writers' Summit Photos

By Monday morning, the group had dispersed and headed in their various directions. As Orny was about to check out of his motel room, there came a telephone call with a vaguely familiar voice. "There's a big rat on Butterfield Road! Get a picture!" Knowing the rat to be DargonZine's mascot, our hero sped away to validate the mysterious caller's claim.

And lo! There be rats! Here you see the indisputable evidence, as the gigantic rat grabs at our faithful Editor, who apparently managed to escape the evil rat's clutches and make his way home.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to find out exactly how Orny eluded the rat, since he appears to have inhaled sufficient helium gas to send his voice into frequencies normally reserved for radio and television broadcasts!
