Jacob Yulde

Jacob Yulde is an elven illustrator from Fordsu. He is best known for his political cartoons and comic strips in the Tovinyr Screamer. He has illustrated for multiple graphic novels but has yet to release his own, however a compilation of his comic strip Torig and Kent has been rumored to be coming out sometime in July of 1618.

Torig and Kent
Torig and Kent is comic strip series written and illustrated by Yulde. It centers around a 30-year-old elven boy named Torig (named after the elven philosopher and diplomat) and his anthropomorphic stuffed griffon Kent (named after the dwarven theologian Kent Schitt). Torig is a charming young elf who is often described by Yulde as "too intelligent for his age". Kent, while mostly aware of that the antics of Torig are not always a great idea, happily goes along with them.

Torig and Kent is Yulde's most popular work, and for years a compilation has been requested by fans as collecting all of them from different newspaper issues is very difficult and inconvenient. However, a compilation has been rumored to be coming out sometime in 1618.

Career
On the 12th of Dechembruary, 1593, Yulde was brought onto the cartoonist team on the Screamer by his friend Uftin Forvermeier. There he began doing political cartoons at a caliber which hadn't yet been seen, and months into working with Uftin and others he eventually was able to publish his personal work Torig and Kent, which was a smash hit. Yulde was lucky this strip was so popular as him being an elf and not a Forvermeier was a risk to his job.

Fern Davis Scandal
In 1561, former lead editor Fern Davis was found dead in a sewer beneath Screamer Square after Madbaggin was evacuated because of the Osquip Plague and the investigation of his death was shut down due to a lack of evidence. Years later in 1596 while Timothy Forvermeier was on his death bed, he revealed some cryptic information."'We killed Fern Davis. Or rather, we paid a few idiots to kill him. It was pretty obvious as those idiots went on to talk about it a lot. I don't know how they haven't figured it out but I'll be dead in an hour so yeah. My brother Yonsun Forvermeier and I ordered Fern Davis to be killed.' -Timothy Forvermeier"Police officers were never able to decrypt these final words. Jacob Yulde, however, took them as a bad sign and went on to start the Faerûn Freethinker.

Faerûn Freethinker
The Faerûn Freethinker was a newspaper begun by Jacob Yulde. It lasted six months and did not spread past the mountain of Jord.

After this Yulde spent five or six months sitting around refusing to take his job back out of pride. After the Screamer stopped asking for him, Yulde eventually begged for his job back.
