Gandalf Takes the Ring

Here Gandalf, you take the ring fuck it, why not? Later: It is a dark time. Hobbits rule Middle-Earth. The kingdoms of man are forced to work in vast pipeweed farms. The elves research day and night to increase the potency of the plant. Dark Lord Gandalf has not been even remotely sober in over 1000 years.

Frodo offers the One Ring to Gandalf, who casually accepts it. The final panel imagines the disastrous consequences: Gandalf becomes the Dark Lord, while Middle-earth is reorganized around growing and researching increasingly potent pipeweed. It is sent as an absurd reaction to making a reckless decision and immediately imagining the worst possible outcome. EN: Frodo offers the One Ring to Gandalf, who casually accepts it.
