Genius playlist based on From Ashes Rise. What you can’t see are the Descendents, Propagandhi, Crass and Misfits songs a bit farther down…
In this installment of the popular web comic, the Author returns to the traditional format by including something that is easily recognizable as a joke. As is standard practice, we are treated to a combination of a geek culture character (Sauron, of Lord of the Rings), in a humorously improbable real-life situation (lamenting his lot in life while drinking in a bar), and a pop-culture reference (the song “All the Single Ladies” by Beyonce Knowles).
Having enumerated the advantages enjoyed by humans (attractive), elves (attractive), and dwarves (attractive when you are drunk), and expressing his dissatisfaction at being stuck with orcs (hideous), Sauron is struck with the solution to his dilemma when Ms. Knowles reaches the chorus of her hit song: he will ‘put a ring on it’. The juxtaposition of the song’s intended meaning of an engagement ring with the intended meaning for Sauron of rings of power to subjugate the races of Middle Earth delivers our well-earned punchline.
Thus, the Author humorously reveals the image he holds of himself as a lonely, mask wearing embodiment of evil plotting the enslavement of the beautiful creatures of the world who he views as his betters: humans, elves, and dwarves in Lord of the Rings - women in reality.

My newest tumblog… I get a lot of spam at work. Now you can enjoy some of it too.
I think my world is a little rocked… Milk takes less energy to produce than apples?!? The vegan in me is very dubious.

Montage of Knight Rider turbo boost-ing KITT and jumping over stuff. Music by Metallica. Awesome.
