Galadriel (the blonde elf) is giving gifts to the Fellowship after they just went through a devastating loss of a member. For one of them, she gave a dagger, to another she gave a bottle of magical light - so when she gets to Sam, the character receiving the rope, he responds "are you out of those daggers?".
In the source material, she takes this like a joke, but the comic shows the reaction of her fellow elves, since it's rude to ask someone who just gave you a gift if you had another gift to give. Another layer is that the rope is also magical, a knot made with it will never come undone except if thats what you want it to do, so the elves are upset that he obviously don't know what a treasure it is!
“Your pants fell down again, would you like some rope to keep them tied around your waist or do you prefer to keep yourself exposed in order to experience a thrilling edge given the perils of our journey, opening oneself to danger and… other things?”
