Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I thought the whole point is because they had no power or ambition, they were much less likely to be corrupted by the ring.

Also didn't he just recruit Frodo? Sam was only there cause he overhead the plan, and Pip & Merry only so happened to bump into them along the way while stealing corn.

In the books, they all could tell something was up with Frodo and refused to let him go alone. In fact, Sam was actually dropping plenty of eaves, dispite his claims to the contrary in the movies, and they puzzled it all out before Frodo even left Bag End. (Fatty Bolger, another co-conspirator who did not make a movie appearance, decided to stay behind to keep up appearances so that the mission stayed a secret as long as possible. He bought them precious time when the Nazgûl were in pursuit, and later played a role in the resistance against Saruman prior to the Scouring of the Shire.)
