No doubt it will be a story set in a mine and they will all be 3 feet high.

Is this the issue where the entire Legion is possessed by the atomic axe? (Hey, if the Emerald Eye can do it...)

'Gimli' = 'Jim Lee'

When you get it, it's milk-snortingly funny!

You know... I don't mean to offend anyone, but this may just be funnier than anything bbz, Teeds, Lash, or any of the rest of the "funny people" from these boards has ever written!

Well Steve Lightle IS a professional!

But that avoids the point. I have no idea what this is about. But then I only recently caught on to that Jo Nah thing.

Gimli = Dwarf from Lord of the Rings.
Jim Lee = famous comic book artist.
JIM LEE to draw the Legion = thread on this board
GIMLI to draw the Legion = clever parody of said thread.

Still very funny, even after explanation.

Well, you gotta figure that since there were no troll women, Gimli had a lot of free time on his hands to develop his artistic side. laugh laugh

The first of those three "LOTR" movies dazzled my eyes, stretched my bladder, but ultimately bored me to tears ... and I'd never read Tolkien ... so I don't feel bad about originally missing this joke!

I've only seen that first "LOTR" installment, and one was enough for me. Same with the "Harry Potter" movies. I wondered in both cases what the fuss was about, and each was worth a matinee ticket, but that was enough. I've tried grokking such high fantasy or sorcery epics, but I can't manage it.

... Usually. I very much like "Sojourn" from CrossGen, a classic Tolkienesque quest. Go figure. (Do figure in the winged Ankharans, subject of the third "Sojourn" TPB, though {g} ... you just have to love Greg Land's gorgeous art.)

There's a triple play here, too: Gim, as in Allon - pronounced with hard G or soft G. Maybe they're all related in some other dimension.

Thanks, FC. I had intended to mention that part of the joke, as that's what takes from being merely funny to being tenzilicious!

My first thought when I saw the title was to think of Dr. Gym'll. I thought Steve had misspelled his name.

He could draw the Legion. He's got three hands, doesn't he?

I thought he had 4 hands. It must come in handy in certain situations...

Gym'll has three hands, though he's mistakenly depicted with four in certain contexts, including Who's Who in the LSH.

I had thought about suggesting that Gym'll would be a particular favorite of Gimli's, due his small stature.

Great Kaiser's Bun! I was clearly temporarily insane! It's still a funny thread, even if I was being a little overenthusiastic about it in the above post!
