The Hobbit Comic Chapter 1: Tooks and Bagginses! (i hope this is somewhat legible lol)

In the book Bilbo says that Gandalf “was responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures.” The book goes on to imply that Gandalf was Adventure Buddies with Bilbo’s grandfather. But since Gandalf took “lasses” on adventures too, I added that Gandalf was ALSO Adventure Buddies with Belladonna. because why not!

Also: the idea behind the comic is that it’s being written/drawn by Bilbo as a bedtime story for a younger Frodo (who he’s either babysitting or has already adopted, take your pick!) This means that all the drawing mistakes are actually Bilbo making drawing mistakes. I am struggling to draw in order to be faithful to the fact that Bilbo is struggling to draw. Don’t worry, Bilbo will get better at drawing if he continues to make these comics

#anyway Idk about the objective quality of this #but I had fun drawing it #the hobbit #the hobbit comic #i'm pretty sure this wasn't the prologue anyone was expecting #but uhhhhh #yeah!!#I really like the intro to the hobbit #before gandalf even shows up #where it's like a bedtime story....#and the idea of hobbits and tooks and bagginses #are explained to you like you're a kid who's never heard about them before #anyway #and there's just a lot of good lines i wanted to include #like.#''the ordinary everyday sort of magic' thing #also the colors get messed up on desktop vs mobile???#I like the mobile colors better #Bilbo hasn't figured out color theory yet :/#his handwriting also sucks :/
