Urban (Legends) Comic: Here Be Dragons

February 2nd, 2011

Urban Planner (and Twitter buddy) George Osner sent me this comic.  While not its primary intention, it nonetheless brings a bit of levity and introspection into the often all-too-serious field of urbanism. I especially like the subtle digs at suburbia…

Bonus points if you get the Arizona connection (explain in the comments section).
