High Elves Bring Sacred Blunt Instead of a Sword
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 4-panel fantasy humor comic. Panel 1: A group of green-skinned, red-eyed high elves arrive, as an unseen announcer declares "IT'S THE HIGH ELVES!". Panel 2: The announcer continues "AND THEY'VE BROUGHT THEIR SACRED SWORD OF BLAZING...!", cutting off as the panel reveals the so-called sword is actually a giant lit marijuana blunt, oozing purple smoke next to a torch. Panel 3: A human knight, alarmed, yells to his allies "WARN THE OTHERS!", while the elves casually smoke the giant blunt in the background as purple smoke spreads across the area. Panel 4: The knight is now surrounded by the purple smoke, looking dazed and stoned, and revises his earlier order by saying "WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE SNACKS.". The joke relies on a pun subverting the classic fantasy "sacred blazing magical sword" trope, turning it into a blazing blunt that gets everyone high, leading to the common stoner craving for snacks.
