Comic #123

1 Mordekai: So, Alvissa, if elves live for thousands of years, why haven't you outpopulated all the other races and taken over the world?
2 Alvissa: Elven children breast feed for 30 years, teethe for 20 years, throw tantrums for about 100 years, and...
3 Alvissa: ... don't take to toilet training until they're about 200.
4 Mordekai: Ah, I see.
4 Alvissa: Yeah. Elves invented effective contraception before we could use fire.

2012-03-21 Rerun commentary: This is a valid question in any fantasy (or science fiction, or any other) setting in which elves (or any other species) live much longer than humans. The answer is usually some variation of the immortal procreation clause.
