Tolkien cared about Aragorn from the beginning. Aragorn represented a part of his saga that predated his invention of Hobbits. The reason he didn't "develop" Aragorn and Arwen well was because he came from a school of writing that didn't believe in developing such things. He was drawing on mediveal literary models, not modern ones.

I agree with that assessment.
And did you just compare the Hobbits to Ewoks?
Well, I only prefer Howard because his Hyborian age stories seemed a lot more serious and edgy, especially in the Conan comics I read.
