The Elf Squad, character profiles
Although the characters of
The Elf Squad are taken from
mythical characters, they tend not to have magical properties. They
reflect ordinary people more than anything else.
The characters of
The Elf Squad are about six inches tall.
The Elves are ordinary Joes.
The Gnomes are much like the elves, only more on
the macho and/or brutish side. I've drawn many strips in which the elves and
gnomes are adversaries in sports.
The Pixies are the liberated females of the strip.
The Dwarves are a big favorite. They represent the
work-ethic class in the strip. The dwarves run a lucrative business
called
Dwarf Mining and Construction. Much of the
action featuring the dwarves takes place in one of their many mining
tunnels.
The Martians are another favorite. Perpetually
trying to invade the Earth, they have yet to realize that they are much
smaller than the humans they wish to conquer.
The Gbports are the "management" class.
These guys were around long before Dilbert. Whatever it is, the gbports can
make a profit from it.
(This is one creature that doesn't exist in mythology, I made it up.
Pronounce the name as "ga-BORT".)
The Troll, singular. He collects the toll at the
bridge.
The Imps are trouble makers.
The Mushrooms are mostly around in the background,
but occassionally take on a life of their own.
The Pond. A lot happens here. It not only has
unplumbed depths, it has a mind of its own.
