If we use that one, I'd argue that the comic is better than the current one at Dude Looks Like a Lady.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.@25 looks more than sufficiently effeminate. Go for it.
Calling someone a pedant is an automatic Insult Backfire. Real pedants will be flattered.
"Effeminate" does not mean "easily mistaken for a women". Per Webster:
- having feminine qualities untypical of a man : not manly in appearance or manner
- marked by an unbecoming delicacy or overrefinement <effeminate art> <an effeminate civilization>
David Bowie has been pretty effeminate during most of his career.

edit: anyway, what I'm saying is that particular elf looks somewhat effeminate, but not particularly so for an elf, and is also masculine in some respects. He's very jeans-commercial looking to me.

We can't use that without permission. Do we have it?
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerAnybody can ask for permission from the artist; the important thing is that we aren't just co-opting the image.
Reaction Image RepositoryWe have permission, so I've put the image back up. I don't know why, but the reply I got amused me a little.
I'm deeply honored and even humbled that you've chosen my little comic to play up the Elfeminate stereotype. Yes, I give you guys full permission to use my image. Feel free to modify it however you see fit.
I've done a caption of "The dwarf's actually a lesbian." for now. Thoughts on it?

That does look pretty effeminate. Maybe we should put it to a vote?
