Y'all, I am VERY excited to introduce you to one of my new favorite Tolkien artists: Kay Woollard (1924-2008).

Woollard first read LotR in '79 when she was 55. From then until her death, she was heavily involved in Tolkien fan culture, contributing illustrations to Tolkien Society publications.

Spike the bulldog rounds a corner wearing a pink helmet that says NO. Unbeknownst to him, Heathcliff is on the other side of the corner, wearing a pink helmet that says YES. Two birds watch the impending confrontation from a nearby tree, and one of them says "Hold on to your butt."
