The key is to make friends with the good dragons to fight off the bad dragons. Many bad dragons can be bribed with a steady supply of chocolate chip cookies.
Being as how a “dragon” can also describe a violent, pugnacious person, you’ve pictured a scarey scenerio here: “The Battle Between Dr. D and the Closet Dragon”. Watch the scales fly.
I’ve been submitting to them for over 30 years. For the single frame cartoonist, well it is a dream for all of us to have just even one “been published in the New Yorker” credit in one’s portfolio. They have a site for all their rejected cartoons . Check it out. You would not believe the amazing quality of the humor that has never made it.

I’ve seen my share of dragons in my short life.
I am with the patient on this one. Psychotherapists might equal to dragon. 🙂

What did the dragon say when he saw St George in his shining armour?
Oh, no, not more tinned food!
