I wish I had the option to disappear into some supplemental material when I was a kid. Coulda gotten outta some boring chores and mind-numbing homework. 🙂
Since Gandalf was actually a Maia from Valar– something like archangels, I suppose– if he had a childhood, his parents should have been like him and able to cope. That said, I love the bearded baby wizard….
Well, if you’re going to follow the LORE then you have to talk about how the parents constantly have to protect him from the temptations of Melkor, and have to deal with him constantly changing form to get away from you
I was worried the comic wouldn’t show. But everything seems to have worked out fine. Good that it did- reading Bug Martini has become hobbitual for me.
sorry for being a nit-picker, but gandalf is basically (not exactly, but close enough) an angel. so he didn’t really have parents. but that’s ok, i don’t mind, i just thought the internet at large should know i’m concerned about the state of LOTR lore

Maybe being able to actually go *into* the book would have made the homework less boring!
Thank god, there it is!
*sniff*
Sorry about that. Uploaded it late and scheduled it for tomorrow.
Oh, no problem, Adam. 🙂
Thank you again for lightening up my mornings at work for a few years now!
Ah…Bug version of baby Gandalf.
What a lovely way to spend college break time. I chuckled.

Yeah, and then he singes your eyebrows off with Narya while you’re changing his diaper.
Somehow the diaper makes it soooo much funnier!

that pun had quite a ring to it.
Yeah, better than usual =D
“YOU SHALL NOT BATH!!!”
I just did the math of when I posted that Gandalf picture of Dreya and I think she may just have inspired this strip?? No?? 🙂
You’re right, sis.

I always wondered about the life story of Gollum’s grandmother, myself.
