In this week’s Savage Dragon #194, readers are treated to a pair of backup features.One, featuring longtime Savage Dragon supporting players Barbaric and Ricochet, was written by series editor Gavin Higginbotham and plays pretty much like any other backup feature in the title. The other, by a variety of cartoonists, features the return of a funnies page to Savage Dragon.That might be uncommon in many modern comics, but not to Dragon. For years, Savage Dragonbert by Karl Hornell ran. A strange mashup of Dragon and Scott Adams’s Dilbert, the strip dealt with the misadventures of a nerdy version of Dragon frequently belittled by his faithful companion Hitler’s Brainbert. Not long after that wrapped up, we got Twisted Savage Dragon Funnies from a variety of impressive indie comics names.Now, Larsen says, the comics page is back, and it’s a fairly ongoing feature for now, but he’s working with Adam O. Pruett to keep it going without keeping it on Larsen’s plate.”Largely I’m delegating,” Larsen told ComicBook.com in his standing Savage Dragon commentary track. “Chris Eliopoulos is a given, as is Knight Watchman but Adam Pruett has taken on that task of coordinating that. He’ll run things past me but he’s doing all of the running around, which I appreciate.”Pruett joined ComicBook.com for a discussion of the feature, which launched in today’s issue of Savage Dragon, #194.
