Tarn and Scamps

A programmer dwarf reclines with his pet and his lute.


Happy belated birthday, Tarn. Congratulations on the new kitten… gulp!

I’m going to get flamed for posting this, aren’t I?

    At least he didn’t get a pet carp.

  3. toastie said 25 minutes later:

    Somehow I knew in my heart that he looked like a mighty dwarven warrior.

  4. Duckmeister said about 1 hour later:

    No, Tarn, DON’T FISH IN THE LAKE NOOOOOOOOO!

    I’d pay for a “life imitates art” indie developer calendar.

    Someone get Pixel, hit him on the head until he gets amnesia, and drop him in a cave with a glock or something.

    Haha, by the extension we need to split apart all of Flashbang. One wakes strapped to a jellyfish, one behind the wheel of a jeep and one to a jetpack brontosaurus.

    That would be the greatest calendar ever!

    Also by further extension; Life imitates Art, Art imitates Data.

    Happy Birthday, Tarn! You’re an inspiration to all of us!

    … or, most of us at least!

    … okay, the nerdiest of us. But an inspiration regardless!

    Tarn is the incarnation of Productivity. I bet he didn’t even take a day off on his birthday.

  13. Dorian said about 5 hours later:

    Since he’s got one kitten, he probably won’t have to worry about a catsplosion…probably.

  14. Chris said about 6 hours later:

    Some immigrants will bring another cat, and then there’ll be trouble…

  15. Craig Stern said about 7 hours later:

    Ha! Nicely done. Happy birthday! (By the way, your cat is adorable.)

  16. Mark said about 8 hours later:

    Kittens :D

  17. phubans said about 10 hours later:

    A cat is fine too.

  18. Bood_War said about 12 hours later:

    If a male cat is brought, there will be a catsplosion. If a female cat is brought, there will be a catsplosion. If a dog is brought, there will be a catsplosion…

    I wish I could actually play Dwarf Fortress and be just as amused by this

    Too bad it doesn’t run right on my computer…

    But still, a wicked picture indeed.
