I always admired the famous "Frogmore?" Ballard. It depicts a shooting scene with frogs shooting and holding a turtle with a target painted on him. I admire both the original and the one created a few years ago.

My favorite goofy engraving image is the goose-stepping duck on the floorplate of field grade Simson doubles from the '20s and '30s (On the other hand, given what the Nazis did to the Simson family--while keeping their duck--maybe it ISN'T so amusing....).

Here is another example of some lighthearted engraving, this one from a German Haenel-Aydt schuetzen rifle (ca 1890) that was in my collection for many years. Why a cherub? Well, why not!
