Many Hobbit

 

Clearly people hate Hobbits these days with just the two entries this time around, thanks Peter Jackson  . Despite that it's voting time until the end of the 8th. 

My vote is obviously going to Valence who did a far better job of painting Bilbo's face, tankards, cakes, and just about everything else (and inserting secret subliminal Star Wars references in the background, no doubt paid by Disney  ). I think he possibly even has more Hobbits in his picture than I do... and fireworks.

I still haven't been able to make up my mind....

Bilbo's going to die of old age before we get a result 

Don't make me get Binky
