It debuted on 14 June 1999 and ran until 21 December 2004. Three spin-offs followed the original series: Elf Life: Babes in the Woods, Elf Life: Wedding Night and Sprite Life. In December 2005, the author put all of his Elf Life universe strips on hiatus to work on Winger, a webcomic with a political focus.[2] The main Elf Life storyline, renamed Alfheim, resumed in late 2007. SeriesThe original seriesDrawn in an economical, stylized cartoon style, Elf Life involves the love-hate relationship between the elves Baughb (pronounced Bob) and Filis (pronounced Phyllis).[3] Some of the daily strips were occasionally replaced by prose chapters. Baughb, short for Baughbberick Lindel, is well-meaning but infuriatingly eccentric. His mental confusion is compounded by the fact that he spent a long time traveling through time and trying to get home, and when he finally succeeded it was several generations after his original time. Filis' ambition is to be a warrior. Over the course of the story various people kidnap and threaten Baughb, including an evil corporate executive version of himself from the future, and Filis finds herself reluctantly trying to save him. Eventually they become lovers, but — in the grand tradition of comedy — that does nothing to stop them from fighting. Other characters in the story include Airek, Baughb and Filis's half-ogre friend, the multi-dimensional Sprite, the fairy Glynhial (Glee), who alternates bursts of violent insanity with periods of sickening sentimentality, and the buxom mermaid queen Leukothea. The web site also incorporates "Biff Notes: Help for the lost, confused, and somewhat misguided" (a pun on CliffsNotes), which help to explain what is going on in each day's strip and how it relates to the story as a whole. Elf Life: Babes in the WoodsElf Life: Babes in the Woods is a full-color prequel to the original story.[4] It began on 5 February 2005 after the original series had finished the previous December. Babes in the Woods follows Baughb's early adventures. Gustafson has been working on paper comics, with each issue containing approximately 20 comics from the archives. Elf Life: Wedding NightElf Life: Wedding Night is a full-color series that continues the primary storyline of the original series.[5] It began on 21 October 2005. After the WeddingAfter the Wedding is a resumption of the main story at a point after the wedding has passed. While Carson has mentioned some spoilers in the forum, the main joke involves the use of the Sprite and cheap paper to good effect.[6]Sprite LifeBegun on 6 October 2005, Sprite Life features the character Sprite in a gag-a-day strip with simplified art.[7] It does not share the universe or continuity with the other strips. AwardsIn 2001, Elf Life received the Web Cartoonist's Choice Award for Best Fantasy Comic, and was nominated for Best Comic, Best Male Character (Baughb), Best Female Character (Filis), Best Other Character (Sprite), and Best Serial Comic.[8] In 2003, it received another nomination for Outstanding Fantasy Comic.[9] Notes and references1. ^{{cite web|title=First Elf Life strip |url=http://www.elflife.com/d/19990614.html |accessdate=2006-04-01 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051219151600/http://www.elflife.com/d/19990614.html |archivedate=19 December 2005 |deadurl=yes |df=dmy }} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Winger |url=http://wingercomics.com/ |accessdate=2006-04-01 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060329161629/http://www.wingercomics.com/ |archivedate=29 March 2006 |deadurl=yes |df=dmy }} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Index of Elf Life: the original series |url=http://www.elflife.com/read/elflife/ |accessdate=2006-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928053757/http://www.elflife.com/read/elflife/ |archivedate=28 September 2007 }} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Index of Elf Life: Babes in the Woods |url=http://www.elflife.com/read/babes/ |accessdate=2006-04-01 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051212075108/http://www.elflife.com/read/babes/ |archivedate=12 December 2005 |deadurl=yes |df=dmy }} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Index of Elf Life: Wedding Night |url=http://www.elflife.com/read/weddingnight/ |accessdate=2006-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928053831/http://www.elflife.com/read/weddingnight/ |archivedate=28 September 2007 }} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Start of Elf Life: After the Wedding |url=http://www.elflife.com/d/20061123.html |accessdate=2007-04-11 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070128053304/http://www.elflife.com/d/20061123.html |archivedate=28 January 2007 |deadurl=yes |df=dmy }} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Index of Sprite Life |url=http://www.elflife.com/read/spritelife/ |accessdate=2006-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928053814/http://www.elflife.com/read/spritelife/ |archivedate=28 September 2007 }} 8. ^{{cite web |title=WCCA 2001 Winners and Nominees |url=http://www.ccawards.com/2001.htm |accessdate=2006-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/5p9IkMRFf?url=http://www.ccawards.com/2001.htm |archivedate=21 April 2010 |df=dmy }} 9. ^{{cite web |title=WCCA 2003 Outstanding Fantasy Comic nominations |url=http://www.ccawards.com/2003ceremony/fantasy.htm |accessdate=2006-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060825173300/http://www.ccawards.com/2003ceremony/fantasy.htm |archivedate=25 August 2006 |df=dmy }} External links
