The Fabulous Furry Freak Fellowship

by Richard Kirk

Picture a cartoon with...

Fat Frodo toiling up the slipes of Mt Doom, toungue hanging out and eyes glazed.

Fat Frodo with a wide grin lobbing the ring overarm into the fire. Gollum catches it bug falls in too.

Fat Frodo legging it out of Sammath Naur, as the top of Mt Doom lets rip. "Whoops!"

Fat Frodo and Sam on the slopes of Mount doom. Clouds of ash and fire. Looks like we are done for, Sam. Mumble mumble. What a bummer." "Wait a moment, Mister Frodo, what's that, in the sky? It's..."

Dramatic piccy of Gwahir the Windlord, wings outstretched racing down to rescue Sam and Frodo...

....pop...fizzz....

Last picture - people are setting up a party. Overhead a large banner "HAPPY ELEVENTY_FIRST BIRTHDAY BILBO". Fat Frodo is sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree, holding a can of beer, and staring blankly at a small bird on the ground. Phineas, behind him, is looking at the ringpull of the can, which he has just fished out of the barbecue with his tongs. Freewheeling Franklin is throwing his hat on the ground in fury and shouting "Alright, Goddammit! Who just ate all twenty-two of the pipeweed samozas we made for the party?"
