The Lord of the Rings purists still found something to complain about in the otherwise uber-cool trailer for Return of the King - the spider isn't big enough! Put them in Frodo's shoes (or latex feet) and let's see if they feel the same way... The winning punchline was submitted by Steven Groujo. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #343 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2003-10-22.
