Tom Noir Comments: I like to think that this is a heartwarming tale of an unlikely friendship, tragically cut short when Draco sneezes.

“What the – It looks nothing like me! I’m not paying you for that!”

Why does the dragon kite have a tree jammed in its mouth? Can’t do much for aerodynamics.

FACT: 9 out of 10 successful Dragonfielders recommend a lycra body suit of colours that contrast strongly with the local environment, worn underneath your knickers, not the other way round.

I feel as though this picture is the fever-dream of a too-clever DM. A DM who introduced a story with a myopic dragon, in a valley with peculiar acoustics, nearby a town famous for its kite-making…and the party decided to kill the dragon anyway, leaving the embittered DM no option but to burn them all alive.

Judging by the dragon’s reaction, the title ought to be DRAGONFREAKOUT.

Wait… does the actual dragon have wings? Because those don’t look like wings. Maybe he/she is stunned at the concept of a flying dragon.

Works better as a Far Side cartoon than a cover.

I’m not sure what it means, that the author has hidden it inconspicuously in the depths of her Web site. I do hope it’s because all of the contents had been published elsewhere…

I’d forgotten all about this one! What in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is going on with the dragon’s horns???

@Tom:those are taps. Turn one, out comes fire. Turn the other, out comes ice. 🙂

@Tom Noir: That’s where they install the missiles.

This and the ‘Star Beast’ from earlier in the week suggest a dragon version of a pick-up artist teaching reptiles with cats’ eyes how to leer at the lay-deez.

The dragon’s mouth looks completely ridiculous. It’s distorted like something out of a cartoon. And the dragon KITE looks more like a centipede. Or maybe a sandworm.

The kid will find out the hard way you shouldn’t bring a kite to a dragonfight.

Dragon kite or caterpillar kite? I mean, I know what I’m going with.
The dragon’s goofy expression is still .. something.
Happy year of the rabbit.* I hope all your dragons are much more respectable than this. (Dammit, missed watching the parade.)
*Or cat, in Vietnam **
** Which reminds me of the book of the same name and @Emster’s song.
