(3/3) At least the ponies weren’t named… and I guess the death of the snail eaten by the thrush was for a greater purpose.

But still, why must you do this to me Tolkien?! 😭

(2/3) Then there’re the ponies the dwarves and Bilbo get from Laketown who get eaten by Smaug.

And then there’re the snails! Not only is one eaten by the thrush, but all the other snails by the secret entrance get disintegrated by Smaug’s fire breath.

Ooh, Unico!
Introducing your kid to the works of Osamu Tezuka (at least the kid-friendly ones) is such a great idea!

Oh boy it’s the long awaited Zoey illustration!

Can’t wait to see the finished thing!
