Whoa... We've seen a lot of crazy Elf faces... But... Beautiful?

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

u/blue_jay_jay 4h ago

The Elf is inherently beautiful in form, she’s just got a spiteful little gremlin soul, therefore she’s not a beautiful person.

Are they REALLY beautiful, or is that just what their glamour wants us to think?

Roald Dahl knew about this. He called it “The Twitt Effect”

u/eXcaliBurst93 1h ago

she wears her soul on the outside then...cause pretty sure 90% of the time when I read the comics I saw her being a gremlin

Why does Beautiful Mode Elf look like Maetel feom Galaxy Express 999?

75

u/rillip 4h ago

Better question, why don't more characters in general look like Maetel from Galaxy Express 999?

22

u/Made_Bail 4h ago

Asking the important questions.

u/french_snail 4h ago

I mean I’m pretty sure every woman ever drawn by that guy looks just like Maetel, the man can only draw one woman

u/DarkLordLiam 2h ago

Especially funny when the protag is freaked out by how Maetel looks like his mother and it’s a major plot point…

…and then every woman basically looks like her.

u/rillip 2h ago

I mean, if you had figured out how to draw the perfect woman would you feel compelled to draw a different one?

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 19m ago

Tbh many popular characters from other popular games/series look like Maetel from Galaxy Express 999. So they do, but also asking for more won't hurt fiction.

15

u/RShini 4h ago

Probably because Maetel is one of the most gorgeous women in anime and she's a go-to reference.

Really, Maetel does look like she should be an elf queen.

We know his dog has immaculate rizz. By the law of pet/owner adjectival synergy, I would assume Hugh Man also has an uncanny magnetism to potential suitors as well.

Didn't she try to object to his "wedding". Wearing a full bridal gown and all.

By Scott you are right.

u/Amy47101 3h ago

I mean, didn’t some people pull a prank on her where three dwarves dressed as human and a woman, got a wedding together, and elf’s response was to crash the wedding with an axe and in a wedding dress?

Here we see the wild elf-ess engaging in territory marking behavior. This will serve to ward off other rival elf-esses from the human she has claimed as her own.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4h ago

Huh so fun fact reddit sees the final panel in the bottom right as "inappropriate" in a comment on its own and removes it

Anyway I bet human has so many spit stains at this point on his shirts

How the hell is that panel inappropriate lmao

Reddit AI is weird. You hear that, AI? I'm calling you out, weirdo!

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4h ago

I'm not sure. I was SUPER confused when my comment didn't show up after 20 minutes so I went to check and yup.

That's what it's not in the comments anywhere

u/supercyberlurker 4h ago

This is pretty much how the Eldar view Humans in Warhammer 40k.

.. but if you know your lore, the Eldar aren't entirely wrong for it.

u/jeffroxs101 2h ago edited 2h ago

Not one of these comics is funny I genuinely do not understand how this guy regularly gets to the front page from drawing the dumbest faces possible and making the elf a massive racist. Maybe the first or second time I saw it I gave an upvoter and laughed but it's been years and it just isn't funny or shocking at all. Dog shit drawing and memeable moments are pretty much it.

Imagine an artist improving? Or making something creative? Nah just give massive attention and support to see the same God damn joke 4000 times. Literally 6-7 type of a joke. And he makes money off of merch with this low-tier of effort. Guys, it isn't funny at this point, I don't really think it ever was honestly.

Same with pizza cake, literally pointless shit that every sensible person agrees with but the artist has to self insert herself into owning a trump supporter or seeming smarter than others for disagreeing with a racist stupid argument that... Everyone already agrees with? Not exactly creative and doesn't require any explanation because it is obviously a reasonable take. But got a draw the same thing happening 300000 times to get some up votes and attention I guess.

Be liberal, support human rights, I agree! How about as artists we actually improve! Or move on from our one singular joke?

I wouldn't even appreciate seeing the same set of Mitch Hedbergs jokes 300,000 times if it were THE SAME JOKE REPEATED OVER AND OVER. And that man is a god damn legend, not a lazy unimaginative internet comic maker.

u/nyrawyn 2h ago

Counterpoint : funny elf face makes my day. Just block comics creators that you don't like, you might still get reposts but you front page should look better to you.

What do you expect to accomplish with your post ? Think the creator is going to change careers because john reddit didn't like his work or that people that laugh at his comics will suddenly change their taste in humor ?

-2

u/jeffroxs101 2h ago edited 2h ago

The comic creator can come up with more than one joke? Does your comment matter or mean anything either? We're literally sentient space dust none of this shit matters in the first place. He can stay in his career and IMPROVE AT HIS MAIN OCCUPATION or come up with more than ONE SINGLE JOKE. If I were as bad at my job as the first day I started it I wouldn't exactly be employed would I? You make comedic comics and sell merch, good for you get that bag homie. How about we come up with a second, or hell, a THIRD funny joke to repeat endlessly so it is less annoying and more entertaining?

Sorry you prefer to see and read the same damn thing repeated endlessly and are okay with it while thinking there is no possible way a guy who made a funny joke could make a SECOND funny joke without reiterating the same one hundreds of times.

*I farted on camera once. People laughed. So I just do that for the rest of my life I guess even when people stop laughing. It's a living I guess and I can sell merch about the one funny time I made a fart". This is the level of intelligence we're dealing with and people are supporting it.

u/jeffroxs101 2h ago

6-7. Hahahaha did you just bust out laughing? See how it's not enjoyable or funny in anyway to see the same thing repeatedly?

2

u/nyrawyn 2h ago

6-7 doesn't make me laugh, you still won't find me screaming at teenagers to stop laughing.

1

u/jeffroxs101 2h ago

A comment is not screaming and given I was late to this post my comment is genuinely hundreds of comments down to even see. I don't care and what I said needed to be said. This shit ain't funny and has begun pissing me off after years of the SINGLE SAME JOKE the only thing keeping the comic going is memeable faces on a racist elf. We get it. Can we please have one other joke any decade now?

2

u/nyrawyn 1h ago

I get your point, my advice to block was genuine. Plenty of comics I can't stand. I'm with you on Pizzacake. So I blocked the account.

But you're here telling a guy "you suck, you're not funny". He's got his audience and he makes people laugh, let him be, he doesn't owe you anything. Even if he was unsuccessful, that's his life and his work.

It's not even constructive criticism, your comment was nasty.

0

u/jeffroxs101 1h ago

It was nasty. It should be. He should have more than one joke as a funny comic creator, and yes he's been blocked now. I'm not asking for the world here stating that at some point we should move on from pee pee and poo poo jokes. Literally just make a comic that is actually funny besides one racist elf and drawing as dumb of faces as you can for engagement purposes, while reusing the same joke every single time. Is it really hostile to expect a comedian earning income off of their jokes to have more than one joke?

He can keep the art style, JUST MAKE MORE THAN ONE JOKE IN YOUR ENTIRE COMICS LIFETIME RUN.

u/jeffroxs101 1h ago

"my job is I tighten bolts only to the right. You want a bolt loosened? Nah, I can't do it. Impossible expectations. I screw to the right and the right only"

The job pays 6 figures and somehow the guy can't be fired only ignored slightly til he's forced into your face.

THANK GOD provide the market what it really needs. I support it. Just come up with more than one joke if you're more capable than u/merrivius at making something worth seeing.

You ever consider that maybe you just have a crap sense of humor and are grumpy for no god damn reason?

Like c'mon man. your account is 12 years old and you're bitching about 67. You are entirely too old to even give half a shit about the nonsense 12 year olds find funny.

u/LumpyJones 34m ago

Other people laugh at it. Probably the visual gags at the elf's exaggerated faces, usually done in the style of popular memes. It's pandering to the audience, but it gets upvotes because they find it funny. Not a crazy concept for most to wrap their heads around. But not finding it funny is also fine. Plenty of people probably don't like their style, but usually just... scroll past.

It's takes significant layers of crust and misery to go on a 5 paragraph rant and compulsively respond to every comment about it to complain more. Like why be so dedicated to hating something...

Oh fuck wait. It just hit me. You're the elf. Sweet merciful fuck that's hilarious. lmao.

u/jeffroxs101 28m ago

When someone wipes dogshit on your car window on a nearly daily basis you would be bothered too. This isn't front page worthy and is not funny regardless of how you imagine my life may be.

I understand people laugh because face. It isn't funny. There isn't a joke. And it is incredibly repetitive. If someone earns income off of being funny can I not expect they make more than ONE JOKE in their entire lifetime of work?

u/LumpyJones 27m ago

yeah but thats it. you could just block the artist and never see it. But you don't. You just wanna make a huge performative act about how much better your taste is than the artist while obsessively focusing all your attention on them.

You're the elf.

u/jeffroxs101 23m ago

Wow. Just like the creator of the comic, you have one total insult in your inventory! And any other insult is too much effort for you to make! Proving my point.

u/LumpyJones 18m ago

I'm not even trying to insult you. I'm underlining the absolutely hilarious irony that is flying directly over your short elf head.

u/jeffroxs101 20m ago

"you should just wipe the dogshit off your window every day forever if you don't like dogshit on your window"

u/jeffroxs101 31m ago

Elf make ugly face, elf racist, hahaha. Don't worry, I beat my skull with a hammer before I replied to you to half understand your perspective on the topic. I finally think this shit is super hysterical. My poor understanding of comedy is gone after that now I think 6-7 is genius writing just like the shit in this comic.

u/LumpyJones 28m ago

lol did you really delete one hating comment because you wanted to hate even harder? Dude...

You. Are. The. Elf.

u/jeffroxs101 24m ago

I have t deleted anything homeboy :) anything deleted was because the creator is a pansy. I'm fine with downvotes while I provide a reality check.

u/LumpyJones 21m ago

lol, first of all your comment was deleted, not removed. that was all you doing that.

lsecond, you have commented in this thread over a dozen times in the last 2 hours.

I mean i get it, part of being tsundere is never admitting your actually obsessed, but on some level, you have to be aware of how hilariously obsessive you've been acting in this thread.

But hey, you do you elf.

*EDIT - correction on my part. I see the comment was removed. still not the artist doing it. The mods just decided you were being too much of an elf.

u/jeffroxs101 2h ago

Man, I appreciate comedy, I understand racism is bad and laughable behavior. I'm simply tired of seeing the same God damn joke repeatedly and people actually pay them for merch to draw the same exact joke happening over, and over, and over. In other media forms like shows and stand-up comedy people would be bored or annoyed by now even if they agree with the overall message and themes. It is simply not funny and not enjoyable. Seeing this type of shit near daily makes me feel like I wasted time even when I am taking a shit while I scroll into it. I could be reading or looking at genuinely anything else and have a better time even if it's doomer shit like news on the wars going on. Yes racism bad, silly face, we get it.
