The only reason I ever read a newspaper is for the comics (or funnies, if you will). I don't even need it for that anymore due to my discovery of webcomics a few years back. There are so many that anyone could probably find around ten that they find hilarious, like the several D&D comics I read, instead of only reading the ten comics that the newspaper editors decided were the funniest. I have links to my favorites in the sidebar to the right, but I want to shine the spotlight on a particular one.

Fearsome Knight
The word "knight" evokes an image of a warrior in shining plate armor, shield and sword in hand, fighting to protect the innocent or spread loyalty for their king. Even the phrase "knight in shining armor" is so common to most of us. However, this pinnacle of non-magical goodness is only the half of it. The other half is the fearsome knight.
Fearsome knights use their enemy's emotions against them. Instead of gleaming, polished armor, they typically wear black armor adorned with spikes, skulls, or other symbols of death. Their image is what makes them so powerful, because when a creature is afraid, their composure suffers. The fearsome knight will take advantage of any hesitation, reinforcing the frightening image their enemies have of them and refueling their power.
