Is there a website with the best Dragon magazine cartoons collated?

I want to share some of the old classic cartoons from the magazine with some new players, does anyone know of a database that has them online?

None that I know of and I'm reasonably sure they'd be hit with a takedown order if there were. It's a minefield of rights violations and royalty payments for the art, for the articles, everything. None of the contracts had clauses about being able to do reprints, different media, etc. - or if they did they weren't consistent. They managed to issue a set of CD's with the whole issues in PDF form many years back (when the magazine was even still in print) but my understanding is that they didn't really have the rights to do even that so they had to put an end to that. With maybe one or two of the cartoons you might be able to sort out rights and royalties to put them online in some form but I think it'd be a money-losing proposition for sure.

I'm not aware of a site that has everything

You can find the Phil & Dixie run on Phil Foglio's website: http://www.airshipentertainment.com

There are several Wormy collections around the web. Here's one: https://sites.google.com/site/wormycollected/Home

There may be others, but these were my favorites, so they're the only ones I've ever bothered to look for.
