Today's incredible story comes from what was probably meant to be a humorous article that Mark Rosewater wrote in 2005 about Dwarves. In particular he touches on a sore spot of his - the art for the card Goblin Scouts - which clearly he has issues with because it is at least the third time he wrote about this same little story. Hey, you start off by writing for sitcoms, you get used to writing the exact same jokes over and over again. This time he really gets into the nitty-gritty of things:
...well, okay, I'm mostly on the same page as Mark with this one. Despite employing the always-charming technique of the imagined conversation, complete with maximum effort to make the non-present party sound like a moron (what's this idiot woman going to do next, fellas? Try to drive?! Cue laugh track!) and apparently not knowing what the colour green is, he has a fair point that in Magic, dwarves have to follow a specific look. Specifically, they have to have beards! No ifs, ands or buts!
W-what the? This isn't following the gospel according to Mark! Ohh, he's going to have an absolute fit when he sees this. Who's in charge here?!
