Short Post: Web Comics

October 3, 2021

Dear Readers, I have gotta say that I have a love for several webcomics.


Several of them I was exposed to via Imgur, and was later pleasantly surprised to find on Web Toon, a web comic app.


Here are a couple of my favorites that relate to D&D:


The Weekly Roll

I cannot possibly stress how hilarious this comic is. In broad terms, without spoiling anything, the comic is about a paladin with a murder hobo party.


The short story arc about him breaking his sword is easily one of the funniest arcs, especially since they produced a magic item stat block compatible with D&D.


It’s a must-read.


If there is a downside, it’s that there are only 96 of them.

Edd Lai’s Stories (How to Be a Mind Reaver)

What if a mind flayer wasn’t necessarily evil? What if he was just really annoyed that people keep breaking into his dungeon? What happens if said mind flayer was almost literally tossed a young girl as a sacrifice?


These are the questions that creator Edd Lai answers!


Cthu is a very loveable mind flayer that just wants to be left in peace, while simultaneously trying to help others become better.


The only downside of this comic is the infrequency of posting, but there are 143 posts.

Lore of the Lair

This is a wonderful little gem, that is relatively new and only has 19 posts.


Without spoiling it, all I can say is that this is about a goblin telling the new HR psychologist how she really feels about working for the necromancer in the dungeon from which she is employed.


Enough said.

All in all, these are some of my favorites. There are other comics on webtoons of varying qualities. In addition to these two, I am a huge fan of Pixie and Brutus, as well as Litterbox Comics, and Live With Yourself.


What do you think? Are there any web comics you know of that you think I would like? Let me know in the comments section below.


Until next time, Dear Readers…
