David the Gnome and the Mountains of Beyond

Yes, something very special happens to gnomes when they turn 400 years old. They abandon all their friends (including the poor orphan-fox Swift), and go die in a field.

Well guess what. In my world, gnomes don't die. Especially not David the Gnome. He was a doctor for God's sake.

No, David the Gnome certainly didn't die. Something far more sinister took place in that field.

David the Gnome cleverly faked his own death in order to escape his nagging wife and that squeaking mute fox. After 399 years of working as a forest doctor, healing animals and trees and shit, earning nothing but acorns and a neverending supply of hassles, he realized there was far more money in commercial advertising. Roaming gnome sound familiar?

Roaming Gnome

The British accent isn't fooling anyone, David.
