I once read a Lil Abner comic where a billionaire seeks out the creator of his favorite comic book “Corporal Krok.” The rich guy has never been able to find issue #1, and he demands that the now elderly artist reproduce it. The artist tells him that he’ll need five dozen burlesque queens as models. The billionaire is suspicious, but the artist points out that he’s never seen the comic.
Seeing as I can never finish it I’d believe it.
I highly reccomend the audiobook by Andy Serkis!
I’ve tried reading the Silmarillion a few times, could never get through it. I’ve nothing against those who like it, but man, it’s so boring!
Skip the first couple chapters about singing the world into existence. Once elves arrive on the block, it gets fantastically interesting!
I’ve read it three times.
I love it so, SO much but it’s like reading the bible. There are so many characters to keep straight and the language is so arcane.
