2013 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Richard Wagner: composer, father of modern music, and inventor of the "aural" sedative.The ringtone in the strip is from his four-opera epic, the Ring of the Nibelung, which features the soprano valkyrie who inspired the phrase, "it ain't over till the fat lady sings" -- or in the cartoon world, the skinny rabbit: [link]

Wagner's epicly long 4-opera masterpiece is known as "The Ring Cycle," and opera in general is notorious sleep-inducing, so his opera ringtone is alternately alerting him and putting him to sleep. (Just like this explanation is, lol)

Yeah, I heard of that one. Although I always wondered why he wrote it to be that long.

Thx, Ezzie. Funny is really hit-or-miss, so I just do what tickles my own funny bone. (Ew, that sounds kinda dirty...)

I totally get what you mean by hit or miss-a lot of the jokes I make, I've been told I'm very funny. But if I post something like that on here, people are all like: "What the heck!" or "What a dumb b*tch!"

Yeah
I am going to return to making comics-this time ones I think are funny and not so much surrounded around others. I don't expect all of them to be funny to be funny to people, but at least I'll like them
