    Is ‘ELF’ one of those text-message acronyms, like ‘WTF’? Because, you know, I look at this cover and I think to myself … WTF?

  2. SI Says:

    “No.. bad unicorn.. BAD! Go and play with another virgin.. GO!”

  3. THX 1138 Says:

    Man, David Bowie’s career really hit the skids after Labyrinth, did it?

  4. Bibliotropic Says:

    Geez, those pants could just be painted on!

  5. Neville Says:

    A fall sunrise in New England is so beautiful, with the red leaves and the radioactive glowing androgynous fighting royalty and town squares and livestock.

  6. A.R.Yngve Says:

    For THX1138, sing along:


    Let’s prance!
    put on your elvish tights and dance in blue
    Let’s prance!
    In our fairy get-up, why not add a tutu
    Let’s pray
    That that unicorn won’t get mad and skewer you
    Let’s mince!
    Under the moonlight, the fantasy moonlight…

  7. Dave Van Domelen Says:

    That’s not a chick. It’s a dude. Well, as “dude” as elves can get.

  8. Amy Says:

    Cry in a corner, left-handed emo elf king. No one likes your spandex pants. Put down the sword and go sell some fingerless gloves on Etsy.

  9. Evad Says:

    Even the unicorn has a look of disbelief.

  10. Jennifer Says:

    I didn’t think she was pointing at the unicorn. I thought that was her “defence”.

    Elf: “GET THEE HENCE, UNICORN!”
    Unicorn: o.O

  11. Infidel753 Says:

    Maybe it’s just my screen, but it looks to me like there’s a reddish stain on his/her ass. Maybe he/she just got prodded by the unicorn.

    Would a guy wear shoes like that? Even an elf?

  12. NGpm Says:

    The unicorn looked at David Bowie and said, “You remind me of a babe.”

    “What babe?” asked Bowie, to which the unicorn responded, “The babe with the power.”

  13. Scott B Says:

    I do believe “It’s magical, so it glows” applies here to the town, and to the unicorn, and to the elf-ass.

  14. Phil Says:

    S/he is saying, “Unicorn, you’re fired!”

    I look forward to reading the sequels:

    Elf & Safety
    Elf Service
    NATIONAL Elf Service
    Elf Absorbed
    Elf Aggrandisement
    In Sickness and in Elf
    Elf Abuse

  15. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “Sit! SIT!! Damn unicorn, sit or you won’t get a carrot!”

  16. Dalton H. Says:

    Even Stephen King couldn’t come up with something this crazy to happen in Maine.

  17. SophaLoaf Says:

    Think you miss one, Phil.

    “Elf Harm”

  18. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “A magical new fantasy by [...]“ sounds SLIGHTLY less inept than…

    - “A rational new fantasy by”

    - “An agnostic new fantasy by”

    - “A magical but overripe fantasy by”

    - “An unholy new fantasy by”

    etc…

  19. GK Says:

    What happens if you touch the tip of a unicorn’s horn?

    Here are a couple of more entries for the “Most Dire Elf Related Puns Ever…” Contest, we now seem to be running here…
    “Elf Care”
    “Elf Esteem”
    “Elf Aggrandisement”
    “Elf Expression”
    “Elf Help Group”
    “Elfy Eating” (this one is truly dire, but I couldn’t resist making it…)

  21. Phil Says:

    Repetition! I’d already had ELF AGGRANDISEMENT. And I feel compelled to add:
    Elf Taught, Elf Starter, and for those who remember the 1966 World Cup: Elf Ramsay.

    Thankyou and good night!

  22. Mark V Thomas Says:

    Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Phil….

  24. Phil Says:

    OK, Elf Garnett as well.

    And not forgetting the Jack Douglas-inspired ELF IPPITITIMUS.
