Fast And Furious Food
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A seven-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Lily through a bizarre dream. The first six panels are arranged in two columns, with a final double-wide panel stretching across the bottom. Most of the dream takes place at the drive-thru window of a stone building with a wooden sign above it reading "Food to go." Lily leans out of the serving window as increasingly unusual customers arrive. The dream becomes stranger with each order […] -
Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?
ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

Do All Elves Have Pointy Ears?
For screen readers < fieldset> [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style shows Elara and Darvolo sitting together in a cozy music studio. The room contains musical instruments, microphones, sheet music, books, potted plants, and warm natural light. Both characters hold small harps, although Elara is the one actively playing throughout most of the comic. Colorful musical notes float from her harp whenever she plays, emphasizing the gentle melody. The […]https://mytolkienlife.xenite.org/do-all-elves-have-pointy-ears/

Why Was Gondor Never Conquered?
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Lily, Mira, and Barath inside an ancient library filled with towering bookshelves, stone arches, wooden tables, candles, books, and rolled scrolls. The warm lighting and scholarly surroundings create the atmosphere of a place devoted to history and learning.

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?
ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

Today is Tolkien Reading Day! What is your favorite bit of Tolkien lore?

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...
#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange
Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey
Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.
"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

"We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can't think what anybody sees in them."
