World of Warcraft community site Allakhazam.com has posted an interview with cartoonist Bill Amend, creator of the popular comic strip Foxtrot. It turns out that Bill is an avid World of Warcraft player, and has recently incorporated the game, or at least a parody of it, into his strip.

In the series of strips, which ran in papers last week, main character Jason becomes addicted to an online game called "World of Warquest". Bill came up with the idea for the series of strips as he was preoccupied with his druid hitting level 20 and gaining the cat form ability.

Bill had this to say about what he likes and dislikes about the game:

I’m pretty hooked. I love the design of the various regions. It’s like traveling to Middle Earth. I like the social aspect. None of my real world friends play online games, so it’s fun to have online friends who share the interest. I do wish some of the quests didn’t take so long (BFD, Gnomeregan, etc.), as it’s hard to find huge chunks of time in my life to do them, but that’s part of the challenge of them, I guess.
