Kudos to whomever actually translates all the doths, periods and dashes into morse

Awww he looks like such a kid in this stip, how old are they now? i've lost track teenagers in elf years right? bless him he is so darn cute! great job alien i think youve out done your self :-)
Can elves really go into hibernation ? I assume dragons can :-).
Winterbay says:
Yay! It's back :)
Love the alt-text. I sincerely hope no one actually goes through the archive and tries to read the morse as that would be horribly boring :)
AWWWW! Leaf looksso CUTE in Panel 5! And lady-whose-name-I-can't-remember looks TALL. And motherly. Heh. I want a Fallen-Leaf-in-red-pajamas for next Christmas.
Buk, hover your cursor over the comic. The alt-text will pop up shortly.
I absolutely love Leaf's "I need a bigger dragon".
eekee says:
Leaf doth be funny when he's just woken up. That's rare talent. XD
Ladyfox7oaks says:
SPAM, Anyone? We need a bigger dragon.. to FLAME these jerks!
Winterbay says:
Also, if you right-click on the image and choose "properties" you get an alt-text that stays and does not go away after a while (good for long alt-texts or if you're a slow reader).
Winterbay says:
@unigirl: If you want it to be a challenge it can be :)
(I would not recommend it though...)
Darius Drake says:
The living, magical grenade-launcher needs a bigger flying flamethrower tank. Who needs weapons when you have friends like that.
Alric says:
I used the magnifier on the blank space and still didn't spot anything!
Dark Donkey says:
Yay, Leaf looks like a girl again.
Dark Donkey says:
And the clothes only make it worse... wonder if any of the humans in there will start hit on him.
I don't think sounding Elizabethan was the goal. Notice Leaf's reaction... either hanging a lampshade on the silliness, or else indicating the lady is not all there...
By the way, if you subscribe to the RSS feed, you'll get the alt text right in your updates, so you can spend as much time as you like reading it.

I doth think that's Lady C in disguise
Osk says:
hibernating does sound like a great idea. at least they cant get into (more) trouble that way
Alric says:
Where's my dots? :D

stealthmuffin. says:
okayyyyy so.
just started reading a few days ago.
the art has actually gotten a LOT better. like. seriously. good job. :P
i love the characters. but i miss feiht. she was a lot of fun. :(
Darius Drake says:
Stealthmuffin, I suspect that the Pixie will be back. So does Leaf and the rest of the gang, which is why Leaf kept the water balloon over the shiny bit of the staff.
Google Translate says "kneuzing" is bruising. Hope things improve soon!
Caribet says:
Sorry to hear about alien's arm - and both of you should know the comic is one of the high points of the day (no problem with the writing!)
Kneuzing appears to be "bruising"... severe bruising is called a "contusion"; both are often confused with a "sprain". See http://www.kring-apotheek.nl/zz/zz21.html and ask the nice Mr.Google to mangle it into English...
Elves don't hibernate as far as I know, but then it's Myhrad who adds "Months" when Leaf asks for five more. And just because you want to do something doesn't necessarily mean you do or can. I some times wish i could hibernate too, but I'm just an ordinary human.
As for the strange speech, it may be this isn't how the woman normally speaks but she thinks this is how you're supposed to speak to elves. She'll probably start slipping as soon as she notices that Leaf is speaking normally.

Your doth-fu is weak, and no match for my thou-jitsu!
Osk says:
aw, delay again. better luck next time
HamstersEverywhere says:
As much as I love this comic as a whole, the grammar in this particular one just grates. I'm sorry, but putting doth in every sentence, regardless of whether usage was proper or not, does not 500 year old English make.
Balrog says:
Bah! dragons aren't scary. A Balrog on the other hand...
Ack, didn't mean to post above! >.<
Well, finally I've caught up, it was about 50 strips to read, but I did it, stupid computer not being able to work when I need it to read my comics.
Love it, as always.
Just five more...
...Months...
...Yeahhh...
I feel like that a lot...
Dark Donkey: A few years ago before I learned how to pronounce it, I pronounced it klitch. LOL!
Osk says:
hm, maybe leaf can magically make his dragon grow faster?
Pathanos says:
This space unintentionally left blank..... or is it?
nice :P
Dark Donkey says:
Pathanos; I was confused by your comment for a while before I noticed it, too. Thought you were talking about a blank space in the comment window!
says:
I think this comic is taking a 5 month hybernation
We're not .. but it's terribly difficult to update with an injured artist :(
Unless you want me to do the drawing of course, in which case you'll get stick figures ;)

You do / You did
Thou dost / Thou didst
He doth / He did
You could still pull off the Shakespearean feel using other old words though, like this:
"Thou art almost frozen, then."
"I told them to bring thee in."
"They trust not elves."
