The last strip to appear on my old website, and one of my favorites. There’s a great quote by J.R.R. Tolkien that was the inspiration for this strip: 

“All tales may come true; and yet, at the last, redeemed, they may be as like and as unlike the forms we give them as Man, finally redeemed, will be like and unlike the fallen that we know.”
