A Star Wars cartoon sketch, with two young women dressed as Han Solo and Obiwan Kenobi. Greedo lies dead on the floor, while the woman dressed as Han says to the other "What? I won the initiative!"
A sketch of a skinny goblin wearing a vest and pants. He holds a contraption made of a large brass horn, with a telescope mounted on top of it. He is staring through the telescope with one bulging eye, has a bulbed flute stuck in his nostril, and is ready to blow the horn.
A sketch of a portly goblin. He wears a helmet on the top of his head, a metal breastplate that's far too small, and a ragged loincloth. He wields a jagged pickaxe in one hand, and is squatting with both arms raised over his head. He stares upwards angrily, wide mouth open and teeth bared.
A cartoon drawing of two young women. The taller one is wearing a red, fur-lined mini-dress, gloves and a Santa hat, and is carrying a sack over her shoulder; she calls out "Me-Heerry Christmas!". The shorter one is seated, and simply replies "It's New Year's Day."

Drawings of Fili and Noli, the main characters from the small press comic "Experience the Magic of the Legend!" as toy action figures. Sketch one features Fili and Noli as 4" action figures, with Noli still in the blister pack. Coming soon to a toy store near you: "Experience the Magic of the Legend!" action figures! And by soon I mean never. Sketch two features Fili and Noli as fashion dolls, with fabric clothing and long hair, along with a cat-like character. This toy line was made to tie in with the cartoon series "The Magical Legend of Fili and Noli" (1986). The addition of cute animal companion Kitzen the Faerie Feline (TM) was widely regarded as a low point for the franchise and the character was quietly dropped after just one season. Sketch three features Fili and Noli as 6" action figures, heavily muscled and scowling. The first attempt at making an "Experience the Magic of the Legend!" toy line was in 1984 and never made it past the prototype stage. A pilot cartoon was made, but the focus group testing results were largely negative. Girls (age 6-11) thought the show was aimed at boys, while boys (age 6-11) thought it was aimed at girls. The project was scrapped after it emerged the figures were little more than minor resculpts of unused "Astrogar the Space Barbarian" characters.

"Again!" they cry, as the leering Krampus yells "Hooyaagh!". Suddenly Mari Lwyd bursts in, kicking Krampus away, shouting "It's Mari Lwyd time, muddy funster!". Mari Lwyd begins to rap, while one of the young women enthusiastically joins in dancing, and the other looks on bewildered. "My name is Mari Lwyd, and I'm here to say, Rapping like this is a huge cliché! Give me all your beer or I won't go away! It's like that! And that's the way it is!" The shorter woman, resigned to these shenanigans, ends by saying "Merry Christmas..."
A three panel comic strip featuring a cat with a human face waking a sleeping woman. First the cat paws at the woman's face, before climbing up on top of her, then finally sitting on her head, jolting the woman awake. The cat says: "Hey! Hey! Heeeeey! Hey!" "I left you a present. It's most of a mouse." "I put it in your shoe. So it wouldn't escape."

A comic strip titled "Glaives", featuring a female Fighter and Wizard duo, Fili and Noli. In a crystal cave, a bearded green gnome tells Fili and Noli "To defeat H'yeen-ogra, you will need to gather three magical weapons. I give you the first of these... Behold - The Glaive of K'rool!" While Fili looks at a six-bladed star, Noli says "This... this is not a glaive. A glaive is a type of polearm. This appears to be some kind of throwing weapon." Later, in a marble temple, an Elf with long eyebrows presents them with another weapon, saying "In recognition of your valour in aiding us against the Fearful Horde, the Alliance of Battlesmiths award you with The Glaive of the Whispering Wind." Noli points out "Again, this isn't a glaive. This is a weird-looking dual-blade/shield combo." In a verdant swamp, an Elfling presents the pair with a third weapon; "As thanks for freeing us from the tyranny of the Skeklols, we give you our greatest weapon, The Twin Glaive of the Elflings." Noli loses her temper and cries "That's just two swords stuck together!" Finally, Fili and Noli stand in desert ruins with the three magic weapons. Facing them is their nemesis, an armoured gnoll wielding a polearm, who says "You may have gathered the three mystic glaives--" (Noli interrupts: "They're not glaives...") "But you have no hope of defeating me, H'yeen-ogra, Lord of the Gnolls!". Noli grabs the gnoll's polearm, excitedly saying "See, now this is a glaive! A polearm with a single-edged blade on the end of a long shaft!" However, H'yeen-ogra shows her his MMORPG stat-block, saying "But my stats say it's a halberd..."

He has a pointed beard and moustache, and a black skullcap. He is a scholar and surgeon, and not a necromancer. Sam is a female kitsune, or fox-person.
