The Widdlest Balrog

Somethin' about Balrogs always fascinated me as a kid. They appear in, what, four pages of the Lord of the Rings? But I've always been captivated by Tolkien's description of them. And every year or so, I allow myself a strip on them. Here are some previous entries:

I have always enjoyed your Balrog strip. Every once in a while I can't help by think of my favorite: http://sheldoncomics.com/archive/081123.html

It kills me, EVERYTIME, to think of the Balrog saying "I still gots me my whippin' whip."

I LOVE when you do LOTR strips. The "old married Balrogs" one is another of my favorites.

If you did these "behind the scenes"/alternate universe/random riffing strips of LOTR, Star Wars, etc. several times a month, I would not object in the least.

I second that!
Love LOTR strips!
and doing another one of the "lost moments" series (With LOTR or something-anything-else) would make it great!

P.S. Always love the strips, but do you think you could make a few storylines about a scenario (i.e. Arthur getting sued, Flaco going to space), As opposed to a comversation storyline (Corn sugar)

Thirded! (Can you say that?) I'm also a big fan of your LoTR strips and would also LOVE more of the kind. Today's strip instantly has become my all-time favourite.

"there are ORCS in here". Priceless! XD
