Elf Life: A novel with comics

I lost my internet, which isn’t the only reason I’ve been missing, but it’s definitely making it tough to get back. I have access through a laptop, but all my main work is on a PC. It’s a little awkward, but it’ll have to do until I get the PC back online.

For the duration, I’ve set up a new blog. There’s a good chance this is not just an emergency blog or a false start, because along the way I’ve figured out some ways to tie together WordPress and my own CMS.

A new rule for myself: the blog will not be used for personal rants, notes, and most other distractions. It will be primarily a pathway for new content. A tendency to make the blog all-purpose killed some previous blogs.

New stories

We are just now launching our new Elf Life initiative, a daring experiment: Elf Life becomes a novel, with illustrations sponsored by readers and ads!

Our first installment lets you skip the comics altogether, if you’re new to Elf Life. You’ll catch up. Meet Baughbberick Lindel, an elf trapped in time, trying to find his way home. If you want to know what to expect from Elf Life, it’s a mixture of humor, pathos, and adventure. You’ll find a lot of all three in Baughbberick at High Tide.

Old comics

Mermaid Leukothea as a valkyrie

The old webcomics archive
The old archive is very creaky, after many computer crashes and other disasters. Check back every so often for restorations and new material.

My personal favorite remains The Ancienk Mariner, where the very busty but evil mermaid queen Leukothea redeems herself while confronting a painful memory from childhood.

Elf Life: Apocrypha

The Commodores

Old archive
The wildest and most colorful Elf Life yet, where we find Baughb the elf pursued by three busty, bungling mutant mermaids—and the entire elf maiden population!
Restoration archive
We’re making the comics bigger, finishing some color, expanding with new text, and hopefully resuming the huge mermaid/faerie battle at the end.
Fragment
Out-of-sequence stuff leading up to the big mermaid/faerie fight.

We get a kick out of…

Please note that Elf Life is not for children! The illustrations occasionally feature partially obscured or completely naked faeries and ridiculously over-developed mermaids. The stories touch on adult themes, including sexual relations, prostitution, death, racial hatred, although not in an overbearing way.
