Gothmog and Draugluin by pandemonium_213
Fanwork Notes
"Gothmog and Draugluin" follows the antics of two Tolkienian icons who were not all about smiting and devouring but had fun, too. Little Gothmog lives in Thangorodrim with his mom (Ulbandi Fluithuin) and dad (Melkor, Black Foe of the World). Melkor’s right-hand man and Gothmog’s babysitter -- Professor Thû ("I'm not a babysitter. I'm an observer!") -- makes appearances, too.
Gothmog and Draugluin also share this space with "Stinky Pete" Mêshûgganâscar, Maia of Mandos, and his pals.
Pandemonium_213 issues the standard disclaimer that Gothmog, Draugluin, Melkor, Ulbandi, Professor Thû, all the Elf dudes, Stinky Pete and his Maiarin pals, their Valarin bosses and whoever else shows up are the property of the Tolkien estate, and that this irreverent comic strip is drawn (badly) for fun and games but not for profit.

"I Espy with My Great Eye!"
Inspired by...(and a hat tip to Russandol):
Sauron, greatest and most terrible of the servants of Morgoth...took Minas Tirith by assault, for a dark cloud of fear fell upon those that defended it; and Orodreth was driven out, and fled to Nargothrond. Then Sauron made it into a watchtower for Morgoth, a stronghold of evil, and a menace; and the fair isle of Tol Sirion became accursed, and it was called Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the Isle of Werewolves. No living creature could pass through that vale that Sauron did not espy from the tower where he sat.

Lúthien dons Thuringwethil's bat garb.
For Lady Elleth.
It's a Deal!
Drawn for Elfscribe.
An improbable morning-after for Melkor and Fëanor. This cartoon is rated Mature for implied sexual content and coarse language.
(1) Comment by Russandol for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 11]
Ha, ha, it is exactly the scene we get at home on a weekly basis, without the brains. That silence in the middle was so.... maningful. Always fun to see the antics of these guys. And I love Thu's crown...
Re: (1) Comment by Russandol for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 11]
LOL! Been there, done that, too! Not with leprawn skulls stuffed with brains. Thanks a million, Russa. :^)
(2) Comment by Aiwen for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 12]
I have been enjoying these comics. I like the way the Maiar come across as very ordinary people - 50% of the time. The other 50%... well, they aren't human and it shows. Fred, janitor of Mandos.
(3) Comment by Jedi_Tarja for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 2]
LOL!! I like Madhros' sign. :-) Poor Feanor! Too funny though.
Re: (3) Comment by Jedi_Tarja for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 2]
I'm not much of an artist, but these doodles do keep me out of trouble. Kind of. :^D Thanks for dropping by!
(4) Comment by Himring for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 8]
This is my favourite bit of the series--Thorondor's and Sauron's comments about the weight Thorondor is carrying.
(5) Comment by Robinka for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 14]
Or go water skiing ;-)
Fun! Thank you for a good laugh.
(6) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 15]
I really do think this is one of my favorites, for both the artwork and the text.
(7) Comment by IgnobleBard for Gothmog and Draugl... [Ch 15]
I love that yellow beetle Orodreth is driving. Good thing they get such great gas mileage.
(8) Comment by Erulisse for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
Brilliant! Simply brilliant!

Re: (8) Comment by Erulisse for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
Thanks so much, One-L!
(10) Comment by Ellynn for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
This is great! :))) *giggles*
Re: (10) Comment by Ellynn for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
Thanks muchly, Ellynn! :^)
(11) Comment by grey_gazania for Gothmog and Drau... [Ch 16]
This is fabulous and so are you! :D
Re: (11) Comment by grey_gazania for Gothmog and Drau... [Ch 16]
Awwwwww...*squishes*
Thanks so much, gg!
(12) Comment by Huinare for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
Ghahaha...their expressions never fail to crack me up, particularly Melkor's and Draugluin's in this one.
Re: (12) Comment by Huinare for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
Thanks muchly, Huinarë!
(13) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
I love it. It's wonderful. Best part: the professor transforming on his perch, to get in his two cents worth. Looking forward to more.
Re: (13) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 16]
Thanks! I need to get cracking on the next installment.
(14) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 17]
This is utterly outrageous! I love that part about something smelling sour! That reminds me of a certain little boy that I know. Too much... you are on fire with these recently.
Re: (14) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 17]
Ha! Yes, that "saur" was a play on words. Better get cracking on the next comic. Thanks!
(15) Comment by Himring for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 17]
Brilliant!
I love Ancalagon Airways and Melkor's shirt.
Re: (15) Comment by Himring for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 17]
Thanks so much, Himring! I'm having fun with these silly things. :^)
(16) Comment by Russandol for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 17]
Hahaha, my Orclings would love a stay at Thu's dungeon too, does he take bookings? Most interestingly, does he lock them in there or join in the entertainment?
I love it.
Re: (16) Comment by Russandol for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 17]
Hee! It's the ultimate Man Cave, and yes, Thû joins them. It's his retreat from the daily grind of sorcery and werewolf-wrangling. He does take bookings, but just like the Hotel California, you can check in anytime you want, but you can never leave. ;^)
Thanks so much!
(17) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 18]
Of course, he is the Dungeon Master. It mildly disturbs me how compelling attractive I find the Professor--I am wondering what that says about me.
Nice addition to your canon on these characters. Great art work.
Re: (17) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 18]
Oh, now, now, you're humoring me. This is not great art work by any stretch of the imagination. Folks oo and ah over those many glorious drawings on deviantArt (and said artwork deserves the accolades). My stuff is nothing more than doodles. Nonetheless, thanks!
Professor Thû is still pretty mild-mannered here. He won't be as the story continues, that is, when Finrod, Beren, and the gang finally arrive on the scene.
(18) Comment by Huinare for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 18]
HAH the third panel. "Unexplained orc chop.." And Draugluin chugging a beer, OMG lol.
Re: (18) Comment by Huinare for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 18]
Well, glad the third panel worked for you! Thanks!
(19) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 1]
I am not humoring you! So it's not Rembrandt on his best day. It's fabulous for the genre and subject matter and love the characterization you get across. Nevermind me,I am still a little crazy today.
(20) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 19]
I am not at all sure how I missed this? It was before the Great Hurricane of 2012 by a few days! This period has been a tough one!
This is fabulous! Absolutely fabulous, darling! I guess I should say, sweet!

Re: (21) Comment by oshun for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 19]
Hurricanes are powerful distractions. ;^)
Thanks for having a look at my goofy sketches.
(22) Comment by Russandol for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 20]
I know it's about Melkor and Fëanor (I do like his very Noldorin features. and his bulging biceps, btw) but what cracks me up is smug!Thû and his camera. Research or blackmail, who knows...
Re: (22) Comment by Russandol for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 20]
Re bulging biceps...hey, he's a smith, after all! I'm certain that Thû has blackmail in mind. He's that kind of guy.
Thanks for the comment, Russa!
(23) Comment by grey_gazania for Gothmog and Drau... [Ch 20]
This one cracks me up every time, especially the dangling glasses.
(24) Comment by just_jenni for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 2]
Oh my god! This is too funny. I laughed for such a long time.
(25) Comment by just_jenni for Gothmog and Draugluin [Ch 6]
Hilarious! Mandos' bunny slippers! I love how the eagle chastizes Fingon.
Gothmog's shorts (Chap. 1)
Gothmog's shorts are cute. I agree that it's a lonely business to be left hanging.
To have wings or not to have wings--our Lord of Balrogs saved the debate right there by growing them at will!
Damn it, Thû
I read it all in one setting (unexpected change of my schedule meant reading time). I had a good chuckle at
- Mpreg (that was an era *ffn.net flashbacks*)
- Beer and nachos (I did think Mae looked bloated)
- Melting snow (poor Gothmog. He should move to Siberia or Canada where it's cold enough it won't melt)
- Melkor's baldness (yeah right, why would he be clipped if he's bald?)
- Thû's pc
- The last comic strip... I wouldn't trust that picture in Thû's hand. If it were 2024, I bet he'd post it everywhere on Reddit, Tiktok, Twitter...
