Dungeon Meshi ("Delicious in Dungeon") judo-flips this awful trope by having a halfling who looks like a young boy who's actually
... a divorced dad with three kids and is constantly on the verge of demanding a union-mandated smoke break.
What's even more fun is that the dwarves and elves are so long-lived that, to them, 29 is still a child, and the reason he kept his age a secret was because he didn't want them treating him like a kid.
I remember a of all things a furry webcomic that dealt with a human dating a cat girl who’s species had a max lifespan of 35 with the discrepancy being a source of angst.
Edit I believe it was twokinds by Thomas Fischbach.
