Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's a reference to when Cesaer was backstabbed by Brutus...

Et tu, Brute
Mostly known as shock of Brutus's betrayal, but recently argued to be a direct threat. Not so long ago as Cale lay dieing in a pool of blood, Richard closes the wound and saves Cales butt against a massive lava flow. Now what does Cale do? He shoots Richard with an arrow designed to get through enchantments with a shot right in Richards back. He didn't even have the honor to shoot Richard in the front, but shot him IN THE BACK.
Either Richard feels very betrayed right now, is threatening Cale as a result of the arrow, or both seems highly likely. This most certainly will change the relationship between them in a big way.

I got the same thing from this page. I felt that even though Richard doesn't show it much that he really cares about Cale, seeing how he has protected him a few times. I think Richard's "Et tu, Cale" has more of a sad quality to it that he feels that Cale is against him as well.
I wonder if four rings on the enchantment-piercing arrow equal to four enchantments it can pierce and whether having only two rings on exit means Richard has two anti-missile enchantments on at all times?

I think it's more the fact that Cale shot an arrow through Richard to stop him. After all, how often do you go shooting arrows through good friends just because they wont listen to you?
Umm.. should i answer this? lol.
On the subject of the last line of the comic, 'Et tu, Cale?'
Richard is quoting, somewhat, Shakespear's Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar saw Brutus among the conspirators and spoke the words, 'Et Tu, Brute?' Which is taken to mean,"And you, Brutus?" or "Even you, Brutus?" Julius Caesar then stopped fighting back and died.
Richard is fainting here for both drama and because of the shock of such a close friend attacking you, much like Julius's friend Brutus.
