Book title: The Fellowship of the Ring

Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

Film director: Peter Jackson

Crosspatch Artist: Earthworm

Bookdrop location: TBD

Bookdrop date: TBD

Reference: Original | Non-horrible cover

Note: Hedgehogs are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, who have from the beginning possessed the art of running swiftly and silently for long stretches, collecting rings as they go and taunting opponents who try to stop them. We know very little about them other than what can be gleaned from mystic runes and vintage TV spots.

Additional Note: This is the second contribution from the 11-year-old Earthworm (with a little help from Fidelia), his first being another video-game-themed cover concerning The Godfather. This is also the first time a moviebook cover has appeared twice in this space. The Fellowship of the Ring featuring Elijah Wood was the volume that inspired the idea of The Cloistered Vandal and was our first vandalized cover.

I know it was you, Luigi. Let's-a go.

Note: "King Toadstool, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, this overgrown koopa who kidnapped your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by some chance an honest man like yourself made other enemies, they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you.

"I will rescue your daughter, and destroy this Bowser and all who stand between us. But some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. Until that day, consider this justice a gift on the occasion of my party."

Additional note: This cover was decorated by 11-year-old guest artist Lumbricidae, a burgeoning Crosspatch if there ever was one. We are always happy to see and share the work of anyone who shares our mission (see Autocorrect, Kalu Yala, Mr. The Martian, and Prof. Dr. Sen. Rebecca Darnell as other examples).
