About WikiFur
Kjartan Arnórsson , better known as Karno , is a furry artist and comic writer from Iceland , who lives in Tucson, Arizona , USA.
Karno has been involved in the furry fandom since the late 1980s, and is best known for his mystical but erotic tales of a magic-slinging mustelid , The Mink , which were serialized in Genus .
He later put out a comic called Big Funnies printed by Radio Comix and the Karno's Klassics comics series. He's been heavily involved in various fanzines over the years, including Rowrbrazzle , Huzzah , and Barr Wars . His art can also be found in MU Press 's WILD! anthology.
As well as the mystic Mink, his better-known creations include the gun-wielding vigilante Savage Squirrel , the rat freedom fighter Herman Orca (who appears in the Open Season series), and Two-Ton Tina , a vivacious and curvaceous elephant lady.
As of 2021, his ongoing comics include the adventures of Savage Squirrel, The Mink, and Happy Jack (an Iron Man-type character wearing a powered suit); the sex comedy Here There Be Dragons ; as well as the superheroic Komos & Goldie (a collaboration with Joe Strike ).
He is easily recognized at conventions by his stature (Karno is 6 foot, 9 inches [2.06 meters] tall), which is why he draws himself as a giraffe .

Book 1 of 7: The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica

The Imaginarium Geographica "What is it?" John asked. The little man blinked and arched an eyebrow. "It is the world, my boy," he said. "All the world, in ink and blood, vellum and parchment, leather and hide. It is the world, and it is yours to save or lose." An unusual murder brings together three strangers, John, Jack, and Charles, on a rainy night in London during the first World War. An eccentric little man called Bert tells them that they are now the caretakers of the Imaginarium Geographica -- an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. These lands, Bert claims, can be traveled to in his ship the Indigo Dragon , one of only seven vessels that is able to cross the Frontier between worlds into the Archipelago of Dreams. Pursued by strange and terrifying creatures, the companions flee London aboard the Dragonship. Traveling to the very realm of the imagination itself, they must learn to overcome their fears and trust in one another if they are to defeat the dark forces that threaten the destiny of two worlds. And in the process, they will share a great adventure filled with clues that lead readers to the surprise revelation of the legendary storytellers these men will one day become. An extraordinary journey of myth, magic, and mystery, Here, There Be Dragons introduces James A. Owen as a formidable new talent.

My daughter, 9, an avid reader, and I loved this book and the next 3 and we can't wait to read the one coming out on Oct 19th 2010.. 'The Dragons Apprentice' We loved not only the story and adventure but, Here there Be Dragons and the next 3 books introduced my daughters to different writers and times and places. An unforseen benefit of the books... my daughter has become interested in reading Tolkiens and Lewis' books and learning about some of the historical places, mythology, and events referenced in the stories. As WB Yeats said; "Education is not the filing of a pail, It is the lighting of a fire". And these books have done that. We like them so much that we bought them also on audio books to play on long trips. I have told lots of folks to read them and EVERYONE has loved them. I hope he keeps it up for a ton more books. Finding a quality writer that doesn't have overtly sexual moments,tons of cuss words, and too graphic violence isn't always easy these days and I love the fact the Mr Owens keeps his books clean and fun.
I was grabbed immediately and had to fold on tight. This delightful tale will take you for a heart thumping ride. Adventure and insight keep you turning the pages until the very end. Get ready for a long night because if you are like me you won't put it down until the end.
I'm not sure why I'd never heard of this book, but I'm glad that I have now! Someone I knew was supposed to read it for a book club. I said I'd read it with them. I'm happy that I did - it's been a long time since I've read such a well written book. If you love literature, have read many great works of literature, and you appreciate an adventurous, somewhat mysterious story line, then you'll enjoy this read. When you finish it, you'll be glad to know that it's the 1st in a series. Hint... brush up on great literary works by such authors as Jules Vern, C.S. Lewis, & Charles Dickens. If you don't know about these great works, don't worry, read Here, there be Dragons anyway, you'll still enjoy it!!!
My expectations were fairly low for this first "real" novel by a graphic novelist. But I was pleasantly surprised. The author is a good story-teller, and though he borrows a lot from myths, legends, and classic literature, it's quite inventive. Though the title suggests otherwise, I wouldn't classify this as "dragon lit," just a classic adventure story (with a few excellent pen-and-ink illustrations). There is some violence (battles), but it's not graphic. No "language" that I recall. The story is compelling and kept me reading to find out what would happen next. The heroes are all adults, so I was surprised to discover this is published under Simon & Schuster's children's division (it seems like children or teens are usually the heroes in books for children these days). It is appropriate for children, and I'm sure my 11-year-old son will love it. However, even though he is quite well-read for a boy his age, I don't think he will "get" the literary allusions, of which there are many. Thanks to the internet, he can easily look them up. (Honestly, I had to look up a few myself.) I will definitely recommend this book for our school library. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. But just in case, I will keep my expectations low. :) Age recommendation: 10 and up
How can you not love a book about characters who eventually will became the Inklings, the famous writers group that included C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the lesser known Charles Williams. In this story, they appear as young university students post World War I and wind up in a fantasy adventure to an alternate world, which in theory becomes the basis for their future writing. Wow. What an idea? It took me no time to decide to buy and read this book. But alas, the devil's in the details. The writing is competent enough, if uninspired. The story is modestly paced but predictable, lacking much in the way of surprises. And the fantastic events are all tropes of the genre (maybe that's the point--after all these folks nearly invented the genre). Most disappointing, we meet Tolkien and Lewis in their formative years, as young university students going on an adventure and they're...well...pretty flat. Now it may be that Mr. Tolkien was more Oxford don than Aragorn or Gandalf (although I always imagined him as the gray wizard), but this is fiction and I expected more. Two stars for the brilliant concept. An additional star for a decent tale not especially well told. And I couldn't bring myself to give a lesser rating to a book about two of my favorite writers.
Here, There Be Dragons has made it onto my 'high fantasy' shelf for dozens of reasons. Characters you can befriend, a plot and storyline both tangled and exciting, literary references to blow your mind - I only have one reservation to prevent me from demanding all of my friends read this amazing book. I doubt many have the background to fully understand it. Don't let the Young Adult tag fool you, anyone old enough to understand will enjoy this book. Sure, my boyfriend would love it for the adventure and rollicking humor - but he'd miss all the tie-ins that can really blow your mind. Another friend would catch some - mainly Greek mythology - but the J. M. Barrie stuff would pass completely over his head. Read this book; it's absolutely wonderful. Everything I could have ever wanted. But before you do, brush up on your Greek, Welsh, Celtic, and even Egyptian mythology, your Tolkien, your C. S. Lewis, your Hugo Dyson, your Lloyd Alexander and Jules Verne and Lewis Carroll and H. G. Wells and Charles Williams and maybe a little Sir Arthur Conan Doyle too. And Heaven forbid you forget your Arthurian legends! This book is a bit like the movie 'Inception', in the sense that it will absolutely rock your world if you have but the sense to understand. If you can't grasp the threads, then enjoy it purely on face value. You won't be dissappointed. But if you can keep them straight, if you can watch the author weave them as surely as the Three Who Are One and their tapestry of fate - well, then this will end up on your favorite bookshelf, too.

-- Kai Meyer, author of "The Water Mirror" "Is there anyone who wouldn't enjoy reading "Here, There Be Dragons"? If there is such a person, I haven't met him, and I doubt that I would like him if I did. I am only disappointed that, because this book is so new, I'll have to wait too long to read the sequels."
-- Orson Scott Card, author of "Ender's Game"
It was a very distinct sound, the quiet scraping of steel on stone, that first told him that his visitors had arrived, followed by a strange sort of tapping and the shuffling of feet.
The tapping outside in the alleyway became more pronounced, and he suddenly realized it was less the sound of tapping than it was a soft cacophony of claws, snapping together in anticipation. He set aside his pen and notebook and settled back in his chair. There was no denying it. It was time.
The strained amber light of an English afternoon streamed through the greasy windows of the door as it slowly opened into the study. He refilled his pipe with his special cinnamon tobacco mix and noted with passing interest that clouds were beginning to gather on the far horizon.
It didn't matter, he thought to himself with some satisfaction. He had said the things he needed to say to the person who needed to hear them. He had protected that precious stewardship that needed protecting, and passed it to those who would use it wisely and well.
There was, he concluded, not much more that could be asked of an old scholar, in this world, in this lifetime. The silhouette in the doorway gestured to him, and he caught a glimpse of wickedly sharp steel, which curved to a point, as the visitor's arm rose and fell. The clicking noises in the alley grew louder.
"Greetings, Professor," the shadowy figure said. "Might I have a word with you?"
"It's not here," the professor said, lighting his pipe and drawing deeply on it. "You're too late."
His visitor appraised him for a moment before concluding that the professor was speaking the truth. "I'm very sorry to hear that," he said. "That does not bode well for you."
The professor shrugged. "What happens to me is no longer important. You may claim my life, but I've put an empire forever out of your reach -- and when all is said and done, which of the two matters more?"
The visitor gestured again, and the tapping noises outside gave way to snarls and animal howling.
There was a rush of bodies, and in seconds the small study was filled with ancient steel, and pain, and blood.
When the noises again faded to silence, the visitors left the study as they had found it, with one exception.
It would be several hours before the first raindrops from the approaching storm would begin to freckle the paving stones in the street, but the professor would not see them fall.
The slim, cream-colored note may just as well have been inserted into a bottle and tossed into the ocean rather than sent by post, for by the time John received it, the professor was already dead.
For perhaps the hundredth time, John took the note out of his pocket.
Please make all haste to London. There is much, too much I'm afraid, that should have been explained to you well before now. I only pray that this letter finds you well enough to travel, and that you will bear me no ill will for what is to come. I do not know if you are ready, and that is my own burden to bear. But I believe you are able, and mayhap that is enough. I hope it is.
The letter had been dated a week earlier, the ninth of March, 1917, and had reached him at the hospital in Great Haywood the day before. John cabled a reply to his mentor, requested a temporary leave, dispatched a note to his wife of less than a year at their home in Oxford, explaining that he would be absent for perhaps several days, and immediately arranged passage to London.
It was the messenger who delivered the cable who found that a murder had occurred and notified the police. John knew without asking that the officer waiting at the
