To Tolkien fans, the idea that the Arkenstone might have been a Silmaril is barely possibly. But a Palantir? Of course not!

I did see this “argument” in a book a while back, which is where the idea came from for this strip. Do you know what I’m talking about?

This has gone over especially well with people named Phil and people who know people named Phil. With actual philologists? I have no idea

I have read most of Christopher Tolkien’s books about his father’s works. I find them interesting, but I won’t read them over again like I do with Lord of the Rings.

Yes, that is an exact quote from “Fellowship of the Ring.” I wonder if Tolkien meant something else, though.




In the tradition of other hilarious parodies of great works like National Lampoon’s Bored of the Rings and D.R. Lloyd’s The Sillymarillion and Joseph Smith’s Book of Mormon!!
