    Nice payoff in the final frame.

    • Mitchell Glaser

      Sounds like the cartoonist never read any of the books either.

        Is that Gwaihir the Windlord flying overhead?  Oh, never mind.  Just a giant whoosh.

        • benher

          This made me laugh even more than the final frame. ;)

       Wasn’t he a character in Cerebus?

    • knoxblox

       Ah, yes! Oh, how I long for the days of yore when one could enjoy such frosty treate with one yegge. But alas! Those days are long past, shadowed by the horrible fear of the scourge of Salmonella!

    Home run Ruben. This might be my favorite comic of yours thus far, and I enjoy all of them.

    • benher

      Seconded. Though I was hoping for maybe a Lucky Ducky mashup!

    Henceforth no matter what movie I’m going to see I will say that I’m seeing it at the Plexx of Multitude. 

    • Donald Petersen

      I remember Stephen King once making mention of a particularly craptastic multi-screen venue as the local Herpes Cineplex.

  • William McBrine

    Wait, three movies? I thought they were just breaking The Hobbit into two movies?

    • Jorpho

       Nope, the news came down a couple of months ago.

      In the last few weeks I have witnessed so many people become shocked and appalled by this revelation, I’m beginning to enjoy it.

      • Brainspore

        It was a rather unexpected trilogy.

          There And Back Again And Again And Again.

            …A Hobbit Stale.

            Look at the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_%28film_series%29 There are countries with shorter articles.

        • jimh

          Moar’s the moneyer.

  • Jorpho

    Given the frequent tone of the Louis comics, I was entirely expecting the show to turn out to be sold out.  But maybe that only happens to Bob.  (cf. http://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/2012/08/02/ )

    three movies, makin me wait like a chump.. I would have gladly paid thrice the price of three to sit in a theatre for 5-6 hours rather than wait between these

    Imma wait without seeing. See em all n a few years together at home or at a rep cinema. No babysitter hassles til then that way
