We had so much fun on this week's Random Encounters livestream that I wound up doing four improv cartoons rather than the usual three. The randomly generated prompts were: T-Rex Vacuuming, Twig Blight Campfire, Sahuagin Apple Picking, and Harpy Petting a Cat.

Happy Autumnal Equinox, everyone! Fact of the matter is, Fall is actually my favorite season ... but crossing this line always reminds me that winter is coming.

Here's my most recently completed cartoon homage (done as part of the 50 Years in the Dungeon show) ... my creative tip of the hat to Jeff Easley's 1983 cover for the 1E Monster Manual II. Brings back memories for me ... and hopefully captures the spirit of those heady early days of D&D and TTRPGs.
