My Roommate Is an Elf

My Roommate Is an Elf is a comedic Science Fantasy Web Comic. It follows the life of Harold, a normal human, whose roommate is Griswold Strelich, an elf. There is also a troll named Dearg who frequently visits.

Some of the humor derives from fantastical creatures doing mundane things, but mostly from the way the characters interact with each other. The style of humor is similar to that of a Sitcom.
