Wait. Did anyone mention Bone? Did
no one mention Bone?
Bone! I've just finished yet another re-reading of the complete 1300 page edition, and it still makes me roll around laughing like nothing else. But it's also a grand, mythical, epic story, quoting Wikipedia:
Accordingly, the story is singularly characterized by an effective combination of both light-hearted comedy and dark, epic fantasy: Time Magazine has called the series "as sweeping as the Lord of the Rings cycle, but much funnier."[2]

It's absolutely brilliant in every aspect, and Jeff Smith's art is pure genius, and it really and truly is
art. Amazes me every time.
No Tolkien fan should miss Bone! And that goes for you too, Jen!
Stupid, stupid rat creatures!
