The Things I Learned in Middle-Earth
Aaaand here’s the exciting conclusion of Chickening Around, where Carica’s suffering continues! Oh, the perils of a defenseless chicken!
Save the chicken. Eat pigs instead. (Wait, what?)
Play this video for the added dramatic flair on the last panel. XD
The resemblance of the cook on the 4th panel to a certain chef in Forochel region is completely intentional coincidental.
The chicken instance quests at Sandson’s Farm are surreal! I have no idea what kind of funny magic Billina is using to turn me into a chicken. She must be some sort of chicken wizard- er, gizzard…?
Words of the Stripper:
Fun fact: Birds in general has a more advanced colour receptor than humans, and they can see RGB plus UV! Thus the simulated UV-enhanced view on panel 6 and 7.
That’s right, we don’t just chicken around. We are also educational!
Also, yes, this is a 2-part story. Look out for part 2 in two weeks! 😉
This is totally not an advertisement disguised as a comic. *cough*

I have started a Patreon account!
Please support me HERE if you love my comics and would like to see more consistent updates!
Sneak peek and Work-in-Progress process will be offered to all tiers of supporters on Patreon. I currently have $1, $5 and $10 tiers but all tiers have the same benefit right now. It’s just up to you how much or little you want to contribute.
The regular comics will stay free for all and continue to be serialized here, of course, so you don’t have to worry about changes to comics if you don’t want to pay and you can simply follow me on Patreon for updates without spending a dollar.
Thank you very much for your appreciation.
(In case it was not clear: She’s simply scraping the bad berries off the old pie and filling it back with new berries, reusing the pie crust.)
Disclaimer: This is only a speculation. She may as well be supplying them to the bounders as a bio weapon against the Dourhands for all I know.
Seriously though, WHY does she insist that we deliver all of them back to her? It can’t be to save her reputation, because I already tell them “Holly gave you a death pie, so please return it” before picking them up anyway.
I did try to warn him, y’know…
What was in Hornblower’s pies? They must’ve been really bad berries!
Just when you thought delivering those pies and mail separately was a nuisance…
Here comes hardcore difficulty: Delivering pies by mail!
Words of the Stripper:
Appropriate Sound effect for the 2nd panel!
All the hobbit clothes are pretty accurate as seen in-game. In fact, I spent way too much time getting the details down. It was fun getting to know them though.
I still want their clothes for myself. Why do they get to dress better than me?!
Hello everyone! Today is not a comic update day, but since there were so much traffic coming in thanks to Chickening Around being featured on this week’s LOTRO Beacon: Issue 62, I wanted to draw something to welcome the new readers.
So, here is a sort-of portrait of hobbit Carica.
She ended up looking a little different from how she looks in game because of the eye & nose shape but otherwise it’s pretty much how I imagine her to be. Hehe
Gotta love the feeling of homeliness in the Shire!
