This is one of my favorite anecdotes:

"The story goes that, when JRR Tolkien read a newly-composed passage of The Lord of the Rings to his fellow Christian writers in the Oxford of the 1950s, his friend and colleague C S Lewis responded: "Good lord, not another fucking elf!" Sceptics still feel much the same."

Okay, this is a very fun read:

HA

Lewis & JRRT were good friends, if I recall

both Inklings!

yes!

and by the way

here's the difference

He may have made it to here...

"What? Ties are classy." Art blinks.

I think if Art doesnt' already have this, he'll get it as a yule gift:

OooOooooo

Wudlig has bad eyeballs too. His glasses are a mask as he's also not thatt good looking
