The second panel deals with the fact that Redwall mentions the name of Satan or The Devil 4 times, while it never mentions God or Jesus-somewhat surprisingly, given that the book is set in an abbey, and many of the inhabitants are religious brothers and sisters. The Orcs are evil by definition, thus being incapable of doing good.) (Note that Tolkien's work is probably not actually racist-the Easterlings are portrayed as non-evil people who were deceived by Sauron. Though it is more likely than not that this is simply the result of a planet of hats - where a single species all share the same characteristics and personality, so that authors / readers don't have to spend time fleshing out / getting to know every new character - Randall nevertheless indicates that this 'moral absolute' is problematic and has some 'racist undertones,' regardless if it's intentional or not. Conversely, one of the so-called 'good species' has never become evil in this book series. On several occasions, characters explicitly state that 'vermin stays vermin.' This is the overarching rule, notwithstanding the rare exception (e.g. Similarly, Redwall's rats, foxes, ferrets, ermine, and weasels are mostly evil manipulators, while mice, rabbits, squirrels, hedgehogs, and badgers are always the good guys. In LOTR, orcs are unequivocally and without exception the bad guys, capable only of hate and violence (although to be fair, in some of Tolkien's unpublished writing, orcs are corrupted elves, so it is clear that they are not intrinsically bad). For a similar children’s game, see 392: Making Rules. That person is then jinxed, with one form of the rules dictating that they are then not permitted to speak until unjinxed by some specific action (usually somebody saying their name). Jinx is a common children's game that is initiated by shouting 'Jinx' after somebody speaks the same word or sentence at the same time as you. The joke is that while Martin and Aragorn introduce themselves separately, they then go on to describe their particular story, which turns out to be exactly the same for both of them. The first panel shows the similarity between the story of Martin the Warrior (from the book Mossflower) and Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings by J. This comic references Brian Jacques' series of books, Redwall, which star sapient woodland animals in various high fantasy adventures.
