I think it would have been funny if off in the distance they heard Richard whispering: "More tongue"

That's true, but she not a needy personality. She actually shuts people out, and in turn, relies on herself. I think she will always love Say'l. She admires Cale, but I think it's like the others; they see him as a rising king and want to see him prosper. She and Krunch are so close anyway that I doubt she even has romance in her head. SHe just wants to be part of a family. Cale is the head of that family. Gotta keep him on top, right?

I also have always seen Cale as not thinking of himself ever. Taking on a queen, that is going to be hilarious.

Richard: I think #06, #09, #69, and #96 are your best options.
Cale: Whaa! I can't decide! I could never force a woman to wed me and force myself on her to produce an heir!
Krunch: There's always adoption. You're sort of adopted, aren't you, Pinky? Heh!
Cale: Huh?

Hopefully some snuggling will propitiate Cale enough so that tomorrow he'll feel like apologizing to Pella for being so hard on her.

Yes, I was pissed at Cale for that. What a jerk-off way to state his opinion?! I wanted to give Pella some love. Gods know she needs it. That stupid sorcerer has stolen her whole life and given it to Cale. She has never complained once, and then Cale throws all her efforts to help him in her face.

It's actually kind of mean that he might get some within two chapters of that...

QFT
Definitely would have been funny.

An important question, which I think most of you are overlooking;
How is Krunch, a Bloodrage, going to take to his beloved daughter being defiled out of wedlock by the elf?

lol, well, I've seen Richard use frost spells time and time again and last time I checked, only mages could do that. Why be a stickler about classes when a bit of inter-class ability-mixing gets you a scene as cool as this one...

Hahahahahahaha! That's a good question! Cale is technically the king of the Bloodrage now though, so would Krunch be honored or pissed to hell? Hahahaha! My sides hurt!

Cale: Oh Krunch, I didn't see you there.
Krunch: That's Gid naked in that bush there isn't it?
Cale: Define Gid...
Krunch: *cracks knuckles* Pinky, I'm going to hurt you.

That's a whole world of hurt that Cale's never seen. He he he! Karma for Pella!

the next comic is going to be kissing and talking and just as things get good as it were, it cuts to richard in a commentators booth with fel-arch-thingy-bunny

richard-score! game set and match to the cissy elf! <turns to bunny> one of the few things i miss from being ali-

*cales arrow hits richard, knocking him out of the booth, which was up a tree*

cale and beny (offscreen) - GO AWAY!

Wow.... just wow. Didn't see this coming at all. I do have to question the "romance" of it though. I always taken Benny's feelings towards Cale to be more one of gratitude and perhaps some hope that the world can be good. And I haven't seen anybody say anything about the other end of this. I've seen nothing from Cale to suggest a romantic interest in anyone so far. So yeah, I agree with what a couple others have said. This seems more like 'sexual healing' to relieve all that stress Cale is building up. Sorta of a way for Benny to show her gratitude for Cale. What I wonder is how Cale will react to this. He seems pretty caught up in the moment right now, but who knows how he'll react when he gets his head clear again.

Overall I have three predictions of how this could turn out.
1. Richard appears and interrupts before anything really happens. I almost have trouble seeing this not happening, considering Richards habit of interrupting. But perhaps he'll be preoccupied by his "Fork of Truth Theater."

2. Cale regains his senses before anything happens and refuses to do this since it isn't an act of love.

3. They do the act and Cale assumes it's an act of love, while Benny doesn't think of it as so. This creates a good bit of awkwardness and tension for a while to come.

But who knows, maybe I'm being cynical. Still, seems weird for a love to suddenly appear like this. Also, I do not believe this is a dream sequence, but if it turns out to be one I will probably laugh at all the Benny/Cale.

I'd love it if Richard saw them but because of centuries of being dead he's forgotten what they're doing and he tells Pella that he saw them wrestling.

Fuck no >.<
R.I.P LFG Comic, the one comic over all, the one that used to mock all fantasy comic cliches. Ill miss you.

I doubt Richard has forgotten, but he might still do something like that....or he could do one of his firework displays "Benny and Cale are Kissing here!" or something along those lines.

as it is I think the roots were to make sure that he didn't try to run away or anything.



GO BENNY!

PS. Finally got around to making an account just for this

*prays for Richard to be preparing a fwoosh* the horror....the unspeakable horror its too nice! MY EYES!

Registered simply to say that this was completely unexpected for me. I saw no evidence whatsoever that Benny and Cale were anything more than travel buddies.

We'll just have to see what happens on page 291.

That would be awesome! Richard of all to forget sex!

Would just like to add that despite the unexpectedness of the panel, is there anyone else who found the "upper-body nakedness of Cale in the twilight" indicative of what was gonna happen? Now that I think about it, I'm not so shocked at the development as much as I am that it came to mind when I saw Cale practicing and it turned out I was right.

Now that you mention it, that was some heavy forshadowing. Naked Cale makes me cringe. I still remember having nightmares after the tower fell. I did not need to see that much of Cale...

Holy **** on a sandwich!
...I have to go against the main opinion of most of the posters on this forum. I -do not- like this page..





-So- right. Romance ruins everything.
And you're not over dramatic.

After reading this, I was surprised, I thought it was gonna be a Pella sadness scene

Ahem. Last time I looked, Gid wasn't the one tied up by roots.

Wow, I've been following the comic for a while and all I have to say is I'm not looking forward to seeing those children {shudders}.

Like many of the good folks here, I can't wait for Richard to interrupt, perhaps fwooshing something/someone in the process just for a laugh.

I personally am liking the turn this comic is taking, I just needed to make a login to comment on this.

Oh, and "vines sappin' my blood elf!"

I disagree. Romance doesn't ruin anything. It's the sappy lovy-dovy romance that drives stories into the gutter. If you write romance carefully, it can actually come out well done and progress a series. It's difficult to pull off, but I have faith in our writer's talents.

Yeah because fantasy invented kissing. LFG was never about that, it started as a WoW parody but now its its own fantasy story.
Oh noes now Richard will only get most of the screen time instead of all of it!

great, now i get to start my day all confused and shaken...thanks guys...why couldn't richard have walked by cuddling a baby (not eating it) so i could know it was a dream already?

Sorry not a dream its called character and plot development, get used to it.

Holy crap... Cale isn't gay! I didn't know elves could do that.

ok, this is me after getting to the last panel:


"AAAAAHHHH OOOOOH MY GAAAAAAWD WOOOHOOOOOO YAAAAY WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH"
*jumps up from seat.... jumps unto bed... jumps back into seat*


BoYAKASHA CALE

I didn't think people would hate this page so much... I may have been shocked, but hey, why don't we see where Sohmer is going with this? He is an amazing writer after all. We haven't doubt him before, right?

Yes despite all the horrible and copious Legolas/Aragorn fan fiction most elves are and have always been straight.
Edit: Methinks perhaps this thread will go to 20 pages if it keeps up this rate.

Really? I always pegged them for bi. Being one with the earth and all, wouldn't they go both ways?

nice

Sounds like someone's been poisoned by Elfquest. I always thought of Cale as too chaste to ever profess an interest in women. Lucky bastard didn't even work for it, it fell into his lap!

Benny wouldn't need an entangle spell to kiss *me*... (though I guess she could if she's into that kind of thing D)

It's a threshold moment in LFG. I wonder what Sohmer and Lars think of this?

I'm not sure how important this will be to the story. But it may or may not be a Wham Episode

Nope. I actually take that theory from my myth hobby. I studied myths as a kid. I wanted to write fantasy novels when I was young.

The best stories that want to run for a long time include a very large variety of genres. That goes for almost every kind of media.

This was exactly the right moment to have it happen. Emotional stress overload, and only one way to calm down. By letting them both test their feelings for each other and counter the negative emotions with something nice, it is just plain psychology. The sympathie was there a long time, but never the right moment in all the rushing to rescues, fleeing etc.

Very great work, I am always amazed that a comic can keep me away from my beloved books.

My 2 cents. Have a pleasent one

Well the Elves of modern fantasy all derive from Tolkien and he took his Elves straight from Norse Myth. In Norse Myth there wasn't as far as I can tell any mention of homosexuality. The Elves were pretty much human-like beings who were closer to the Gods and better in every way.

There are those elves, but the elves I recall were more fey-wild. Though they were human-like, they had a free-spirited nature. They didn't have absolutes, so perhaps bisexual wasn't the right term. Non-perferance sound better?

Yeah I know what you're talking about. Like Bonobos, they solve everything in their society through sex.

No! Not like that at all!

I mean, being as eloved at they, they're attraction isn't on a physical level. They relationships are more on a spiritual and intercourse is a sacred ritual of deep affection. Since I read once that elves don't need sex to reproduce, I actually have wondered if they even have sex...

Bondage fetish. I like it.

Fey-wild? Like in the 4th edition of dnd that don't exists? <.<

No-one trusts Lartist, it'll be an awesome story I'm sure, always is.

Elves are essentially Humans that live either forever or a very very very long time, they have all the same impulses and emotions humans do, so yeah, they're tempted just like Humans are, except it's not absolutely necessary in life for them, considering Elves are more 'civilized' than humans.

Is benny raping him?


Because she just sortve tied him up in branches but the last panel looks like he doesnt really care.

Now i wonder where benny got the idea to do this..Since i havent really seen any attraction in her to him.

Actually, the Celts believed in the Fey Wild. Even Shakespeare wrote about it in several plays, namely A Mid-Summernight's Dream. I've actually been looking into the Fey Wild again, researching for a story I wanted to write.
