Everybody ready for my most cursed Discworld theory? Brace yourselves:

Nobby Nobbs is a Hobbit.

Evidence: All those jokes about not thinking he's human, he has a signed note from the Patrician saying he is, etc.

He disappears easily and turns up in unexpected places.

Known for making small items of value disappear.

Is shorter than average, I believe he's compared to one of the dwarves at one point.

Enjoys folk dancing.

Anyway, hobbits are the only "fantasy" race that don't appear on the Discworld at all (though a Gollum-like creature does interact with the witches at one point). I'm sure it's because the word is still firmly under copywrite.

But Nobby Nobbs being a hobbit is super funny when you think about it.

Mama a disaster behind you

Ok so after posting the last drawing i reached flow state and finished the second part, you can't see It clearly but IRL the fly has gold and color shifting Paint all around to resemble octarine (im playing the first Discworld game and i COULDN'T NOT add the fly). Drawing Nobby, Colon and Dibbler was SO much fun; i love how some characters can remind you of people you know irl because of how they are written.

I was hoping to make this a series (BCS i have ideas for making more illustrations like this) but idk if i Will continue, im going to try to post regularly tho!

This puede was made with gouache and acrylic markers on watercolor paper

(thx to @impossible2readmymind again for saying the title quote , i know reading discworld wouldn't be the same without you diva)

Do you think if they were available in Discworld, Nobby would wear those little blemish patch things? The ones shaped like stars and hearts and stuff?

I think Nobby Nobbs would place a bet on this. Someone else's money but details details

Corporal C W St. J “Nobby” Nobbs. LOL

[ansatsu-sha]

Carriages were thickly parked outside Lady Selachii's mansion when Corporal Nobbs strolled up the drive. He knocked on the door.

A footman opened it. 'Servants' entrance,' said the footman, and made to shut the door again.

But Nobby's outstretched foot had been ready for this. 'Read these,' he said, thrusting two bits of paper at him.

The first one read:

I, after hearing evidence from a number of experts, including Mrs Slipdry the midwife, certify that the balance of probability is that the bearer of this document, C.W. St John Nobbs, is a human being.

                                          Signed, Lord Vetinari.

A letter addressed to Count De Nobbes arrives It reads “You are cordially invited to the engagement party of Lady Lucinda Rust IV and Dr. Hector Lyjek, to be held at the Rust estate on Oct 3rd, year of the Luminous Lemur. Please RSVP.” You have no idea who either of these people are but it mentions free food
