Introduction

During a G7 summit, world leaders are hard at work trying to draft a joint statement on the latest global crisis. Such is the intensity of their toil that they fail to notice signs of a potential apocalypse heading their way. Suddenly, alone in the woods, they must scramble to save humanity or, at the very minimum, themselves. With side-splitting gags, Rumours assures us that there is laughter at the end of the world.
