Blizzard artist does a WoW Webcomic
When I was at Blizzard, Rob Pardo bemoaned that his War3 team was so pro-dwarf, all the high elf units kept getting cut during production. He had to fight to keep some around for the Alliance — whenever there was a choice of two redundant units to cut, it was the pointy ears types who always got it first. (Obviously, this was rectified to a certain degree in the Frozen Throne expansion.)
It’s pretty easy to see where Samwise falls in the elves vs. dwarves preferences: He’s one of the pro-dwarf types. (So are Jenn and I, for the record.)
Now Sammy has even made a Webcomic about The Last Dwarf, set centuries after the time of the Warcraft games, where the elves have betrayed the dwarves and only one survives to fight back. Mouse over the panels to see them animate. The comics are designed for a slightly larger resolution than 1024 x 768.

Hooray, public recognition by a world-renowned journalist! (That world being Azeroth, of course)
