''[[http://legendofbill.com Legend of Bill]]'' is a webcomic started in 2008 by David Reddick. It started as a Gag Per Day Webcomic, albeit not being a daily issue, but gradually turned into a grandiose epic featuring dozens of characters. Some of the recurring characters even led to two spinoffs: ''BarwenchTales'' and ''TheGnomeSyndicate''.
The story's main characters are Bill, an overly buff guy with a bit of a child mind as the {{Hero}}, and Frank, a blue dragon as the {{Lancer}}.
The premise starts as Bill, an accounting clerk tired of his daily job as a pencil pusher, decides to start a new life as a BarbarianHero. HilarityEnsues.

* AbortedArc: The [[http://legendofbill.com/2008/08/04/so-whats-this-great-quest/ reason]] Princess Gina initially enrolled the help of Bill. This was never mentioned again, but could very well be a BrickJoke.
* ActionGirl: About every female character. Even the local tavern's barwench will turn into one if you don't order properly - and sometimes even if you do.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: If any of the ladies get threatened, Bill goes into berserk mode, remembering nothing afterward. Happened twice so far, or possibly three times according to some reports.
