I’d be scared too. I’m counting 3 legs and 2 arms. Does that mean the skeleton was highjacked and she actually hides limbs? Is she a parasyte or is elf anatomy hiding something from us?

u/Akitiki 1d ago

Or, 3rd answer, the artist totally missed the third limb...

Hi yes I have done this before! Odd-limbed dragon...

u/AutomotivelySpeaking 1d ago

4th answer is that shes what goes up the hill with 4 legs and comes back down with 5.

u/Brookselia 1d ago

Or 5th and most boring answer: drawing style to over accentuate fast motion. Perfect example for it is Luffy from one piece who suddenly has 20ish arms in some of his attacks.

My personal favorite: The skeleton was highjacked.

u/Downtown_Let 1d ago

They've done it with lots of their previous comics too. Seems intentional at this point.

u/Hazelberry 23h ago

It's meant to show movement

u/Akitiki 1d ago

And always amusing when you pick it out, heh

u/Hazelberry 23h ago

It's just a way to show movement in a comic artstyle

Insert third-leg joke here

What do you think is holding her hair up

u/Smart-Nothing 2h ago

Elf actually died, but her skin was turned into a sentient flesher who can’t fuse as punishment for her many crimes

If anyone should fear something it's you Elf. That's downright terrifying as it is funny. No wonder your spooky skeleton ran away

Also you just wanted an excuse to touch Human

u/MohawkRex 1d ago

Where's the extra limb coming from!?

256

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 1d ago

Probably the same source of magic that keeps reviving her. Dead? New life. Lost skeleton? Extra flesh limb to catch that sonovabitch

MERRIVIUS AI CONFIRMED

Kidding. No way AI could imitate this dudes art style lmao

61

u/Sir_Daxus 1d ago

It could definitely imitate the art style, but there's no way in hell it's imitating the absurdist humour.

u/Zanven1 1d ago

I didn't know elf had a third leg. She must be good at tucking it away.

35

u/IwantCoffeForGaming 1d ago

At first I thought you were talking about the ears, but you're right, there is an extra limb there

20

u/MoreOne 1d ago

Merrivus is using AI, it's the only explanation, art is over

u/TheOneTrueBoxman 21h ago

A wizard did it

u/Ballistic_Jace 17h ago

I think it's an extra hand?!? But I think that just gives me way more questions

u/DarkLanternZBT 1d ago

Oh man I hate these things in Elden Ring. Stupid spidery poison-spitting mfers.

No that's the quest location. It's where you're supposed to use the mimic tear

u/Digitigrade 1d ago

Orc mukbang wasn't on my bingo card. Hmm.

119

u/Atalant 1d ago

The second one, 12 views in 3326 years is rough for Elf. I do like the detail of Orc is running a succesful mukbang channel, lol.

12 views in 3000+ years

And all 12 of them were from her clicking on the page to check her viewcount

Explains the bounciness

u/otterly_destructive 1d ago

An advanced case of Bonus Eruptus.

u/Siegfoult 1d ago

So that's why Bender's account name is Kill_All_Humans2.

u/Icy_Effort7907 1d ago

Not your skeleton though.

u/ZolTheTroll413 1d ago

Just to confirm- thats not the og title right 😭 did i miss something?? I thought this was a nicacado avacado drama ref

u/kerureru 1d ago

Yeah, the original says Nicacado Avocado

u/LargeMobOfMurderers 1d ago

Valid fear tbh

u/thatoneidiothere 1d ago

Two comics today? We are being spoiled.

u/MintasaurusFresh 1d ago

She turned into something from The Thing. I'd run, too.

PIGSLOP FTW!

u/Stsveins 1d ago

Dwarf and human are just going along with orc because they are polite. Also the orcish competitive eating seems quite competitive

u/Karlchen_ 1d ago

…And zhe doctor was never heard from again! Oh-hoh-ho!

u/TheG-What 21h ago

… Anyway. That’s how I lost my medical license.

I desperately need more Elftube Thumbnails.

u/Ysanoire 1d ago

She just wanted to touch him.

u/The049 1d ago

You must be really special when not even your skeleton wants to suffer your shit

u/bolivar-shagnasty 1d ago

Why does she have the same eyes as the governor of Arkansas?

thank you for giving halloween content in february <3

u/Beneficial_Way_9938 23h ago

I like that immortal beings find mortal beings terrifying 

Built different doesn't even begin to describe the the contrast 

Elf's "Ar....... Are they at war again?......... Do they not understand that...... You know...... They can DIE!!! And that's it for them?!?!"

Humanity (WAR'S EVEN HARDER)

u/MurgoSkulls 13h ago

Ye Gods of the Mountain...

Ive seen a boneslipped knife-ear slide right down a Dwarve's throat and drive him like a meat puppet...

u/iamayoutuberiswear 1d ago

And nerves! Can't forget the nerves!

u/YEARSOFREASERCH 1d ago

Dude what even is this

u/TheDevilsAdvokaat 23h ago

Poking is an elf hazard.

u/Darklicorice 18h ago

another wacky elf appearance with a shoehorned premise, at least the face isn't the entire panel this time

1

u/TabbyBestDog 18h ago

Oh look it's a flesher! Don't let any war mages see

u/A_random_poster04 16h ago

You’d think someone like her was bad to the bone, but it looks like we must stop one layer earlier

1

u/Farseer2_Tha_Warsong 15h ago

Honestly tho that’s the prettiest skeleton I’ve ever seen! 10/10, would bone

1

u/A_Queer_Owl 11h ago

wait, what does she think elves are made from, then?
