I found this cartoon a while ago and I realize I can share it without shame because the artist put their contact info in. This kind of happened to my creative team when we were creating the Drintera #TTRPG setting.
In panel 1, a wizard-like figure tells a person "You may choose any of the many orc types for your setting," while pointing to a lineup of different orcs labeled "Tolkein," "Classic Pig," and "Warhammer." In Panel 2, the person points in the opposite direction to a muscular green female in a glamor pose, labeled "green muscle mommy."
