Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 28, 2013

I was thinking the same thing!

Gosh, a classic! Well remembered! (Still have it somewhere)

First, Second, Neutral, ParkHie thee hence, you leafy narc!

Why are Hobbits always portrayed as having pointy ears? I don’t remember them being described as such.

Product placement now!?

The Wiz is no Gandalf.

Poor Wiz! Gandalf must get all the good quests!

Wizard of kid

@ K.C. Falel …. Do Hobbits have pointed ears? Here’s your answer;

From: The Tolkien FAQ by William D.B. LoosOnly slightly. Tolkien described Bilbo thusly for purposes of illustration in a letter to Houghton Mifflin (c. 1938):I picture a fairly human figure, not a kind of ‘fairy’ rabbit as some of my British reviewers seem to fancy: fattish in the stomach, shortish in the leg. A round, jovial face; ears only slightly pointed and ‘elvish’; hair short and curling (brown). The feet from the ankles down, covered with brown hairy fur. Clothing: green velvet breeches; red or yellow waistcoat; brown or green jacket; gold (or brass) buttons; a dark green hood and cloak (belonging to a dwarf).The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, 35 (#27)

Where Parker and Hart missed the boat totally was in dressing their Hobbit in shoes. Hobbits eschewed such garb and had furry feet instead.

There’s lot a of them here in Atlanta! Take your pick!

Now I got their radio jingle stuck in my head.

pretty dumb comic, too
