'''''Rusty and Co.''''' is a fantasy webcomic, based on ''DungeonsAndDragons'', about a very odd trio of adventurers. And by very odd, we mean they are [[MonsterAdventurers literally monsters]].

With the charismatic Mimic, absurdly cute rust monster Rusty, and the silent yet deadly Gelatinous Cube, the three set out in search of fame, fortune, and experience levels. Of course, things that would be obstacles to more conventional adventurers pose no problem for these three, whereas other more simple tasks create great difficulties. Expect hilarity (with a side of LampshadeHanging) to [[HilarityEnsues ensue]].

Can be found [[http://rustyandco.com/ here]].
