Best of the humourous art over the years

3rd edition iconic fighter (redgar I think). I always found it humorous that he was dying or getting beat on in pretty much every single book. One of the first things my group would do upon getting a new splat was to find the Redgar death/beat down art. I felt bad for the guy by the end of 3.x.

love,

Can't provide links to the art, but some of the cartoons from Dragon magazine that I remember most fondly were:

1. An unfortunate adventurer, flattened against the wall by a huge boulder, with only his hands and feet showing, while a priestly-looking character in a robe looked at a roll of parchment, and said to a facepalming halfling, "Hey, you're right! I did have a scroll of protection. Bummer." This was especially funny to me because at the time, I was playing with a cleric who could never remember which spells he had prepared.

2. An enormous hulk of a barbarian, shackled to a tree and peppered with arrows that only lightly penetrated his skin, while a short distance away, a bearded official crossed numbers off a scrap of parchment and informed a group of nervous-looking archers, "Sorry boys, he's still got 36 hit points left."
 


Some of the dragonmirths still make me chuckle just thinking about them.


- A row of archers are standing atop a castle wall. Below the wall is the advancing enemy force. One solider in the front rank is lying dead with about 20 arrows in him. One of the archers says " hey look we all aimed at the same guy".

- A magic user sits on a stoop with his arm around his depressed fighter buddy and says " Don't worry, a lot of fighters have swords smater than they are".

:lol: Good stuff.

For more general D&D art, a lot of Jim Holloway's pieces had a great sense of humor about them.

I always thought the picture of the Invisible Stalker in the monster manual was pretty funny. (It was just a blank space.)

Then in 3e, they actually tried to do art for it. :erm:
