I was reading about winter-festival traditions in the Shire, as one does (of COURSE J. R. R. Tolkien wrote extensively about this in the appendices) and wanted to draw a cozy comic. Here’s a short playlist with hobbit Yule vibes!
Obligatory note that OBVIOUSLY none of these characters belong to me! I just like drawing little stories about them. The song is a translation of Auld Lang Syne, with minor edits.
Happy Yule to YOU, and thank you for reading.
My heart 😭 This was so sweet, showing seemlessly the journey in Sam and Frodo's relationship too ❤️
"but the broad seas have parted us, since days of auld lang syne" WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT
