One of the things I liked about Two Towers was how the major monster of Fellowship of the Ring, a cave troll, was just one of the doormen in the second movie. This week you get to write a response for Sam and/or Frodo to a very imposing looking bouncer at the Black Gate. The winning punchline was submitted by TEFII. There were 19 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. You can read the transcript of IRC Judging Session #395 where we decided the winning punchline. This cartoon was archived on 2004-10-27.
