The One Ring

The One Ring

I’m sure that on All Hallows Eve, when spirits roam the Earth, a zombie version of J.R.R. Tolkien will chase me down and pelt me to death with candy corn.  Delicious zombie candy corn. 

This particular joke is one of the reasons I started doing Atomic Laundromat.  I have amazing friends, and this particular, uhm, line of thought came forward after a few days on the road (in New York City) and a long, weird and fun conversation — and I just had to make a comic so I could use this idea.  And then I thought, well, why don’t I have a comic strip? One thing led to another and I suddenly have a webcomic.

Now that this joke is done, I can retire and never do Atomic Laundromat again.

Ok, only kidding.   Atomic Laundromat *will* be back on Monday.  Have a safe Halloween, and save all the good candies for me.  You can chuck the rest at people in Twilight costumes..

    Why, why do you hate Twilight lovers? They are like Harry Potter lovers somehow.

    Heck yes, enjoyed both costumes. Wasn’t sure if Angela was serious. And David with Frodohair looks good, though I wonder if the dye will come out as soon as he likes.

    • Armando says:

      it is in process! your guest strip has been a little more complicated than anticipated, due to the formatting. But writing and sketch draft are done – need to sit down and hammer on it!
