This is pretty 'final', as far as anything goes. You can't escape from true love, bay-beeeee!!! No cliffhanger here, other than whether Riff remembers to tell what's-her-name-the-current-girlfriend-elf that it's over.
I hope he hits that before breaking up. How many people can say they've made it with one of Santa's elves? That's the REAL cliffhanger, lol.

Neither did the other one. They met when he killed her brother.

Maybe it's just me, but it almost seems like Riff was expecting this. I wondered about that too. Do you think he recognized her voice? Maybe even her speech patterns or mannerisms? Riff's no dummy, after all. Maybe he decided he would meet this fate head-on. Then again, maybe he'll be all "humminahummina" come Monday. And we get all weekend to wonder!

It isn't obvious right now but some time in the future, it will be as important as "The Kiss". Agreed. It's a nice start to something, at the very least. CheeseWhisper wrote: Do you think he recognized her voice? Maybe even her speech patterns or mannerisms? Riff's no dummy, after all. Maybe he decided he would meet this fate head-on. I was wondering about that, too. The helmet was lifted when she spoke, so even if he didn't see her face until the last panel, the voice would not have been disguised. I kinda want him not to have realized who she was until he turned around, though. It would mean that he made the offer to help her without any ulterior motive, simply because he's a good man. And union, of course. Can't forget that. EDIT - Forgot to include my initial reaction to the strip itself: "Awwwwww!"

When Izzy said "You guys really should run," I totally expected the next panel to be Riff running away as he realized who she is.

In DOR, riff and izzy are apparently happy for a while before 4U rises. In sluggy prime, It appears that Izzy's already abusing drugs and the 4U city events are already under way when they meet.
