No Married Persons

After this, I'm never going to draw hobbits without sideburns again.

Why does the hobbit in the foreground look so much like Ringo?

Well, if we're having Hobbits as Beatles then it's obviously Pippin.

I mean, Frodo = John
Sam = Paul
Merry = George
Pippin = Ringo

Well, it wouldn't have included Sam then, what with him being just a lowly gardener (as well as being interested in marrying Rosie).

Another interesting thing is that the people we know had wives because they have children (Theoden and Denethor) also don't have them - I presume they died.

Havent you heard of the story of Ringo Baggins? He was the drummer in the band 'The Shirelads'. They pretty much didn't ever make it farther than the Green Dragon/Floating Log/Golden Perch bar scene, though they did play at Chetwoodstock, a 3 day music festival north of Bree.

Back on topic.... if you're married, going off on prolonged adventures without your spouse is somewhat detrimental to said marriage. Ask Aldarion and Erendis.
