Nope, that's the other Sean - Sean Bean, who played Boromir.  Sean 
Astin is that most faithful of hobbits, Samwise Gamgee.  (Bean's 
mighty pretty himself, don't get me wrong, but he has a reputation 
for being a bit of a male chauvinist pig, or at least did in his 
younger days.)

I do have one of the original pieces for one of his Magic: the 
Addiction, oops, I mean Crack, the Gathering, oh, well, you know what 
I mean, cards - a very, very good friend of mine and the Spouse's 
picked it up for us at a con once.  But I have to admit, it's not 
quite as cool.

Tsk, tsk!  The comic book came first!  (In both cases, actually, 
since the same game mechanic has since been used for a game based off 
of one of his other comics.)  Darn funny comic, too . . .  ;)

Homely?  *Homely?*  A man who can wear a hat that well?  Goodness, 
what rigid beauty standards you have there, m'dear - hate to think 
what you'd think of me . . .
