One more thing. Could it be possible to have larger version of the Elf Warrior's picture? Or at least know what P.Hantom is saying, for it's impossible to read...

And I just can't stop laughing at seeing Lommy's portrayal of Detective Phantom and Nimmy's Vader (that helmet!).

The picture is a little large, which is why I re-sized it and the Downs won't let me upload it. But P.Hantom is saying "I think the sack is just a coincidence. What about you?" A.Lien is saying "What could possibly be suspicious?" G. Mithrandir is saying, "Mc Sauron's Hamburger bar is dead ahead"

I personally enjoyed Aganzir’s picture (a really good Phantom and Alien there ) and Finduilas' witch-King giving Darth Vader a thumbs up.

*hopelessly chuckling* (Really laughed only at Noggie's picture, though.)

Well, this was... interesting.

Hookbill, did you have any certain idea what you were drawing, or was it just intended to be as weird as possible?

(By the way, I'm rather hoping to see Lommy's Phantom & Alien in the newspaper some day. )

Legate, what's that Saruman(?) really doing there? I assume he wasn't meant to be flirting?

All I had in mind was 'Gandalf steals a garden variety pig from an orphanage which is spelt wrong'. The other stuff just came in to fill up the blank spaces.

I'm all in favour of some Phantom and Alien fan art.

Oh indeed, I haven't noticed that!
And concerning Aganzir's picture, I of course saw it already when I was making the description of it, but it's indeed a masterpiece (as always).

Silly girl, that's an academic debate

I literally laughed so hard at this, it brought tears to my eyes - it was Macalaure's surprise appearance that really did it, from Legate's MAC and pork saying "hilfe!" (nice font there) to the "fainted German worm"... oh, that was priceless!
Volo's psychedelic coffeeroom is great, too.
It's also quite flattering to be turned into Arwen... I guess... it beats a venomous snake, anyway!

Well, when I saw that walker-like Gandalf it was simply obvious that I had to bring up SW.
Plus phantom also has something of Jabba and Alien does resemble a Sarlacc...at least a bit.
Though you really must thank The elf warrior for allowing me to do so.

Great job everyone, especially liked Legate's cliché-like font for Mac's "Hilfe!" call. Actually they did use to print newspapers in that font some time ago here.

Indeed. I laughed so much at the whole Mac affair, it was probably the funniest detail in this round.

What else? Hookbill's rather psychotic Gandalf creeped me out, Aganzir's phantom who looks like he was dancing amused me, Nogrod's picture was cracked me up, Legate's vision of the food served in Sauron's restaurant proved not only funny but disastrous too and the few last sentences and pictures (starting from Volo) just made me laugh hysterically.

I don't think there was a single non-hilarious picture and all the descrptions were rather funny too.

Remember, it was granny Arwen.

Concerning the next round, I say we do doubles: it does take more time but it's far funnier than a single round. If someone objects to this, they may shout out loud now and I can still change it, if you manage to change my opinion.

You can sign up for the next round now, I'll write the list down when there's more than one person on it...

Pencil me in, Lommy. Doubles always sounds like a good idea.
