CIA Monster Manual (http://www.foia.cia.gov/sites/default/files/DOC_0000619161.pdf)

It's not in WotC format, but you may be able to adapt these for your campaign.

I can see they kept true to how the art of a first edition MM should look.

Yes, but at least there are no women with bare midriffs.

Fixed that for you. And yes, the original Monster Manual had full frontal nudity IIRC.

These illustrations are hilarious, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Seems like someone at the Pentagon has a sense of humor.

I especially like the Far-Reaching Implication, and the Net Effect. These remind me of Mad Magazine's old Horrifying Clichés segments.

This is what my tax dollars went for? I APPROVE!

(OK, my parents' tax dollars. In '82, I was just a sprout.)

I suspect that the authors were mid-level people who had to wade through many, many analyses every week and wrote this to keep their sanity.

1982? That was the last time I updated my birth certificate!

Well, that's certainly amusing. I wonder which one was the inspiration? I'd guess either the Dire Straits or the Almost Inevitable.
