Also to be fair, you can literally find him, forgive him instead, and seduce him, but you're still gonna have to do SOMETHING with him at some point.
Commentary
Who is that hooded Arthur? I mean, that Arthur in the hood? I mean, that Arthur named Arthur?
Whatever. It's a mystery. It will never be solved.
This opening doesn't exactly match the plot of any game I'm aware of, but it is basically a mix of the first two Fable games.
By which I mean the total sum of all three panels doesn't match the opening to one specific game. That first panel is probably the opening to about ten thousand video games, movies, books, TV shows, radio plays, and limericks.

Susan did ask "Why am I so short?" in the previous strip. And yes, people were generally considered full adults at 15-16 back in the days before high school was a thing.

Their village is next to the fountain of Cute!

Well, since she grew up in a village, the age of adulthood is considerably less than what most people would think today, since no village has existed for hundreds of years. As such, Susan is actually younger here than in canon. Either that, or the hooded Arthur is nearly 8 feet tall. He must be a giant, or my math must be wrong, because otherwise that would mean his hood makes him about 137% bigger, which seems like a lot. (Actually, I partially grew up in a village, but my family moved to a proper town when I was still a child so I got a few more years of being a child than if we'd stayed.)

You can insert a newline in comments on PC by holding Shift and pressing Enter, but I have no idea how to type them on mobile. You can, however, create a comment with newlines in a notes app, then paste it into a Patreon comment field, and the newlines will be preserved.

They'd yell "GIRL COOTIES!" and run away in a panic.

They may not eat girls, but we don't know what they WILL do to girls.

This turns out not to be the case, at least in Firefox where I do all my Patreonizing. ^_^ (begin edit) Just click on the three seashells below your post, then on the pencil that is revealed. Alas, I have not yet figured out a way to insert a carriage return into my posts. :( End Edit )

There once was a bandit who pillaged, And did whatever he willaged: T'was really moot, Whether t'was for the loot, Or more for the blood spillage

Susan is a little adult. The best kind of adult.

I'm pretty sure that's almost exactly the beginning of Secret of Mana / Seiken Densetsu 2.

She's a girl, so man-eating beetles won't be a problem.
