This morning, in my office, no one understood today's XKCD properly because no one had read both the relevant books. We sorted it out between us, because n-1 of those present were very familiar with Lord of the Rings, and 1 of those present was very familiar with Charlotte's Web.

Many years ago, I was chatting to someone at a folk festival.

( And he told me a story )

( My story is rather shorter )

I feel this is both fabulous, and slightly sad.
