I hate to point this out, but it's nagging me. Pete Docter is the man ELF should be apologizing to, not John Lasseter. Although Lasseter was involved (as executive producer), it was Pete Docter's idea with the premises and such. I'm a fan of Pixar's films, so this is a mistake I caught. But I'll let it slide since I saw the following comics.
Hey Ed: It's fine to point out, but I already knew that. Two reasons for ELF's comment. First, unless John signs off, it doesn't happen. Two, almost nobody reading it knows who Pete Docter is but EVERYBODY knows who John Lasseter is. The joke wouldn't have been parsed by more than a couple of people if I'd gone with Pete. And we can even add a third – likely ELF didn't know Pete either
That was more coincidence. I wanted to have ELF float away in the manner of lots of movies/comedy bits. Just seemed like something ELF would do. Only after I drew it did the UP connection occur to me.
Ugh. Only good thing about Tingle was seeing how far away I could hit those balloons. Had lots of practice shooting keese outside the Spirit Temple from the steps.
haha first! very cool first angle, i like the colors too. And up was great, as is this strip
I don't know what I like better – the artwork or the writing. I guess I love them both equally. Keep it coming!
Love this one.. and I agree, the angle in the first panel is awesome!

Count me in for a great take on the angle! Nicely done.

I loved 'Up' as well. Love how you included it in Nicky. ELF is just so adorable, being so naive and all…

and here I thought that he was just trying to imitate Tingle from various The Legend of Zelda games
