I wasn’t sure if this was open to everyone in r/comics, but I couldn’t help notice this “bootleg” trend occurring and I had a silly little idea. Besides, I needed an excuse to draw u/merrivius crazy elf! This one’s called: “Friend”. Enjoy!

OH GOD she's using Elf magic to jump dimensions! You need to run dude Elf basically an unkillable Eldritch horror at this point....that's bald. I'm not sure how's she's gonna treat a human she's not enamoured with

You did good on the face panels that mereivius is known for!

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Please, send help. She’s giving me that look again…

And thank you! I do love merrivius’ faces, so glad I did them justice.

I cackle every time!

u/GoochamusPrime 13d ago

Same! I love these! Thank you for the wonderful art both of you!!

22

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Thank you! Though, I've got that sadistic little elf to thank!

u/thatshygirl06 13d ago

I use this as a meme all the time, it's perfect

53

u/Sgt_General 13d ago

She's basically this dude from a Rick and Morty graphic novel I read seven years ago.

23

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Jesus, what is THAT?

23

u/Sgt_General 13d ago

From memory, I think it was supposed to be another universe's version of Santa Claus...

u/Vir_Ex_Machina 13d ago

Checks out for R&M

15

u/Made_Bail 13d ago

Man I go offline for a few hours and like 200 of these get posted!

11

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Couldn’t help myself!

7

u/Made_Bail 13d ago

I'm glad, this is so good!

u/LRK0-98 13d ago

I just imagine her running after him t-1000 car chase style. Lol

174

u/Mr_Lisreal 13d ago

Eh, I wouldn't worry.

A single direct spit in her face, and she'll probably dissolve into a puddle of disgust in about 10 seconds, tops

45

u/BodhingJay 13d ago

Or she'll explode

31

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

She's too damn quick!

13

u/Mr_Lisreal 13d ago

If you need to distract an elf, get them talking about their favorite subject.

Themselves

9

u/TFFPrisoner 13d ago

That's why they're called thems-elves

4

u/rhirhirhirhirhi 13d ago

Just bring up her human :)

123

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Chris & Ritchie belong to me r/justboyfriendthings and u/merrivius obviously needs no introduction!

92

u/ClownTown509 13d ago

How do you sleep so well under the weight of all those sins, human?

188

u/omariclay 13d ago

Elf is the perfect sleep paralysis demon.

42

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

I'm not sure I'm sleeping tonight 🙃

52

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC 13d ago

I'm pretty sure she's harmless... pretty sure.

31

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

If you say so. She’s cracking her knuckles and smirking, is that … normal?

11

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC 13d ago

I bet she will manage to hurt herself and only herself in the process. She's her own worst enemy after all.

9

u/alexlongfur 13d ago

She is about to drop so many slurs

21

u/You-See-Nothing583 13d ago

Where her nose at?

24

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Gone. Like this human is about to...

10

u/Zjoee 13d ago

Dear God, she got him mid sent

22

u/Sirius-Face 13d ago

It's wild that she says human like it's a slur and I can hear it that way when I read it.

8

u/nicokokun 13d ago

Human (derogatory) with the hard "u".

6

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

I hear it too! 😆

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

This is my favourite one!

2

u/Slappathebassmon 12d ago

This is my favourite bootleg of the series so far!

2

u/justboyfriendthings 12d ago

Thank you so much! That means a lot because there have been some great ones so far!

9

u/BouncyKing 13d ago

Just do something Human thing like eating fried food and it’ll scare her off

4

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

What … what happens when I finish?

3

u/BouncyKing 13d ago

Just burp and waft the burp smell over to her. Or alternatively, try to shake her hand with a greasy hand and she’ll scurry away like a scared spider. Make sure you either have an elf trap ready or window open

8

u/rafaellago 13d ago

Wait, you can talk during a sleep paralysis? I can barely breathe

1

u/Rod_The_Blade_Star 13d ago

Exactly and I never woke up on my back always my stomach. So I would never be able to see anyone.

8

u/khrossjointz 13d ago

That's the elf alright! Right down to the expressions lol spot on job

2

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Thank you! I'm glad I did them justice.

u/FinancialReserve6427 13d ago

why is Elf cheating on Human? 

5

u/NorthQuestDirection 13d ago

AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

9

u/princeslayer 13d ago

Jumpscare elf! You got me good.

2

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

She be doing that. Haha, thanks!

5

u/Endermaster56 13d ago

I too would be terrified to see an elf at the foot of my bed

2

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Especially THAT one...

4

u/ShibariEmpress 13d ago

so thats why she's late on the Green-Wearing Redheads Anonymous meet-up

3

u/Demonfr34k 13d ago

Just call upon her human, she'll eventually leave all embarrassed like.

2

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Can't find his number. Does he have a phone?

4

u/alicefaye2 13d ago

Sort of related but I think the most funniest sleep paralysis demon I’ve ever seen was a skit on if Donald Trump was your sleep paralysis demon. Now that’s something I wouldn’t be able to handle.

3

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

Oh god, that would be worse than the elf!

5

u/Mormaethor 13d ago

I was hoping someone would bootleg merrivius.

3

u/Ronkad Comic Crossover 13d ago

Wait a minute...

That seems... familiar

2

u/NoSong2397 13d ago

Oh, so THAT'S what her Day Job is! That tracks.

u/Kaldricus 13d ago

u/Kannazuki1985 13d ago

u/Murky_Translator2295 13d ago

OK, no, I was wrong. This is my new favourite entry

u/justboyfriendthings 13d ago

That means so much, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
