In places, yes. In fact the overall length of lotr comf is probably greater than the overall length of hobbit comf, but it's spread out over a war and journey in to hell.

This. Some parts of LOTR are very comfy. But some are very sad, and very grim. And some are very beautiful.

It really is a masterful work. Tolkien mostly has a reputation as a lore-obsessed autist, but he was quite skilled as a storyteller, too.

Comfy, but the stakes are much higher than the hobbit, which makes it more serious.

It's only comfy if you make it comfy, nigga!
