[[File:lint_title_page.jpg|frame]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131028181509/http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/ LinT] is a long-running comedic fantasy webcomic drawn and written by Colby Purcell.
The story is a humorous take on the fantasy genre, focusing on the [[Hilarity Ensues|off the wall]] adventures of Sangwine, an exiled [[Prince Charming|elven prince]], and his somewhat dysfunctional group of companions on a quest to free the kingdom of Schloeffelonia from Sangwine's [[Evil Prince|evil brother]] - Fang, [[Evil Overlord|Overlord of Darkness]].
The comic began as a light-hearted comedy based story but eventually developed to have a more [[Cerebus Syndrome|dramatic and plot-driven]] storyline, with the occasional throw-back to earlier wacky-style humour.
[[Lint]] was completed in January 2010. Purcell has since launched<ref>and finished</ref> a new comic, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131009045425/http://www.purnicellin.com/pygmalion/ Pygmalion in Space], as well as the aptly named sequel to Lint, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131002112318/http://www.purnicellin.com/lintier/ Lintier]

Line 11:
* [[Ape Shall Never Kill Ape]]: Most of the elves have to get pushed pretty far before they will even consider violence against their own kind. In fact, Fang's murder of the human gambler in the bar is the first murder in the elven kingdom that anyone can remember.
** Zedwig seems especially traumatized by all the killing of other elves (as opposed to any humans) Fang has forced him to do.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The comic [https://web.archive.org/web/20140823011143/http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/2004/01/12/01122004/ began] with roughly drawn pencil sketches, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130702194121/http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/2009/09/04/429-zedwig/ finished] with beautiful full-colour artwork.
* [[Battle Butler]]: The appropriately named Geeves.
* [[Bishonen]]: much of the cast, leading to an amusing incident when Fang's soldiers are able to identify Sangwine in a group of other elves because "He's prettier than the others!"
* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]}}
* [[Black Magic]]: Zedwig is constantly on the verge of death (and burning through healers at a deadly rate) due to his overuse of destructive magic under Fang's control.
** An unfortunate side effect of this is that any healer working to heal this mystic damage has to [[Cast
* [[Cain and Abel]]: There's plenty of enmity between Sangwine and his brother Fang, who killed his entire family and attempted to orchestrate Sangwine?s death on his way to becoming an [[Evil Overlord]].
* [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]]: Due to the large proportion of elves in the cast.
Line 42:
* [[MacGuffin]]: Sangwine and company embark on the ?Mystic Dragyn-Crystal Moon Quest? despite having no idea what it is. {{spoiler|turns out it's actually a trap set up by Al'bert and company.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Bactine (the healer), Sangwine (the sanguine and level-headed leader), Stump (the enigmatic midget-dwarf remains a bit of a mystery even to the rest of the main party for the entire comic), Geeves (the butler), Al'bert du Fromage (a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cheesy]] [[Affably Evil]] recurring minor villian)
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: One moment, we have an extremely dramatic scene where Zedwig {{spoiler|brutally kills}} the leaders of the resistance [https://web.archive.org/web/20151017051319/http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/2009/04/10/04102009/
* [[Pokémon-Speak]]: "Derf! Derf!"
** [[Too Dumb to Live|The main party just thought he was "special"]]
Line 50:
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: The comic is well known for its vocabulary.
* [[Skunk Stripe]]: Al'bert has a white streak in his otherwise dark brown hair, apparently naturally.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: We get Fang's backstory here[https://web.archive.org/web/20151017051858/http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/2007/10/02/10022007/
* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: There isn't much beyond Zedwig's abilities. Unfortunately, this has allowed the villain to use him as a weapon to take over cities and forge an empire for himself.
* [[The Evil Prince]]: Fang invaded the kingdom and killed his family to come to power. The kicker? He was the eldest son and first in line to inherit it anyway.
Line 57:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Zedwig.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Most characters have relatively normal hair colours, with the notable exception being Teitnl, who has blue hair, and to a lesser extent, the silver-haired Zedwig.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Fang's response to Al'bert's failure to kill Sangwine.
