This sphinx’s riddle would be slightly different than the traditional sphinx: “What walks on two legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and two legs in the evening?”
the answer, of course, is a robot, assuming the bot doesn’t use castors instead.

I think the princess is somewhat skeptical of the frog’s tale.
Honestly, can you blame her? It’s a talking frog.
I can’t decide if the moral of the story is “never judge a book by the cover”, or “kissing frogs leads to hallucinations”.

At first I thought maybe the harpies got a bad rap (certainly, they didn’t start out in legend as torturers and evil flying hags), but then I remembered Phineas, and how the harpies stole his food and ‘fouled’ the rest. Which is, you know, pretty gross. Basically, they were the seagulls of greek mythology.

This dragon is actually quite a friendly feller; he likes to roast tofu with his firey breath, and he’s always happy to help set up a good campfire! Just make sure your tent is incombustable.

Happy wearing-green-so-you-don’t-get-pinched-by-annoying-people Day!
I’ve always felt a slight affinity for St. Patrick’s day, probably because it’s the one day where having the name “Erin” means that everyone thinks you’re cool (read: Irish). However, since I’m not *actually* Irish (or, you know, cool), and can’t do an Irish accent to save my life, inevitably the day ends in tears and recriminations (no, not really).
However, I do like those banners that urge me to “go Bragh!”.
