HA! You've got to put that up on different sites and make a campaign for Richard.
I'm pretty sure he actually does eat them, he seemed fairly disappointed when Benny removed him from the nursery. Plus, the fact she actually took him out in the first place shows there was a worry.
um, there's another plot that could have been there... That was while he was mini-dick, wasn't it? so he looked like just another baby. Think about how babies are traditionally fed, and then think about this is a comic written by Sohmer....

We're not sure if Richard actually eats, period. I mean, he does sleep, so I guess it would make sense for him to need food occasionally too. As for whether he eats babies, I'm pretty sure that was just a joke. Benny probably just didn't want to take any chances.

I dunno, I think he really does. The only reason we haven't seen him eat anything is the whole 'mystery behind the cowl' thing. We've seen him with a drink before, followed by an olive, so it's safe to assume he does, indeed, eat and imbibe.
As for the nursery scene, if Richard didn't go after the villages vulnerable offspring, why was there a hoarde of screaming, wailing angry women chasing after them when Benny took him away?
Richard is undead, the comic is obviously WoW, or at least a non-copyright infringing version, WoW took alot from D&D, in D&D undead do not need to eat(vampires and their ilk aside.) however, they may do so for pleasure, just like outsiders. Thus, Richard does not
need to eat, but he can if he wants, and being undead, he has no metabolism, or perhaps merely one which converts all material in the stomach straight to eldritch energy with than fuels and holds together the animate corpse that comprises his body. Either of these options means he cannot get fat, no matter what or how much he eats, so I'm sure he eats whenever he feels like it.
Richard takes great pleasure in killing and destroying life, and babies are a concrete symbol of life in it's purest form, and so by killing and eating babies, Richard is symbolically destroying and consuming life.
I would say that Richard
does, in fact, eat babies. I'd also say that Krunch is a tauren and that Gid is an Orc. Oh, and Cale is a blood elf.
