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..

“Thou shall not pass”! awesome! I so wish those existed in real life!
That’s the best LotR condom joke I’ve ever seen. It’s also the only Lord of the Rings condom joke I’ve ever seen. Still great though.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Gandalf.. so wise and birth control conscious.
Why, why do you hate Twilight lovers? They are like Harry Potter lovers somehow.
Nice joke!
And thank your bro for posting this on facebook
Muy bueno, muy bueno!
“No pasarán!” (en plural, por millones de obvias razones), jajaja.
Espléndido dibujo, btw!
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA Loved it!
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.
Holy crap.
HAHAHAHA oh man!! I love this. LOVE THIS.
And I’m still waiting for the guest strip <>
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!
Tou shall not pass! LOL

Oh my goodness… It’s just pure awesomeness!! I’d be disturbed, but on the other hand, Gandalf can save you from some… surprises. xD
Run you fools!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL!
Best Halloween strip EVER
One vote for “disturbed”.
Laughing, but disturbed.
Hope you enjoyed the costume.
Enjoying the strip, loved the gag. Facebooked it.
