Ummm... I don't know about comic fantasy being 'low'. That suggests that it is inferior to other fantasy and it's not - it takes just as much if not more skill to produce. I was just at a panel where authors of humorous fantasy were discussing it, and one of their points was that while comic fantasy is slotted into a pigeonhole (fantasy with fart jokes) it is nothing of the sort. ~ KJ
- doesn't matter - the merits of the definition aren't relevant; so long as some people use it, it's useful information that should be included. --AW
- The "low fantasy" sense could use some examples or references--I do not recall ever seeing it used this way. It may come out of gaming, comics, or some other non-literary field. The sense of low fantasy as "not serious" is not supported by the only print-source definistions I can find (see the "Low Fantasy" discussion). RLetson 00:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Fantasy All Template

If anyone objects, feel free to discuss it.

Comic fantasy → Fantasy comedy – See how many G-hits "Fantasy comedy" renders when compared to "comic fantasy". Also, we need to maintain consistency with other articles like science fiction comedy and romantic comedy; at the former's talk page, someone said science fiction comedy is "a much more natural name for the genre" than comic science fiction. The same can be said for fantasy comedy being much more natural than comic fantasy. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:20, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
