Comic #130: Suspicious Musty Tome (Patreon)

Originally published: Feb 17, 2008.

What a weird one. This is a reference to the horror movie The Ring/Ringu.

I honestly couldn't tell you what inspired me to make a ring reference. Early 2008 was still Burning Crusade, so maybe the Ring of Blood was on my mind? The english version of the movie came out in 2002, so that wasn't especially current either.

I like the Donald interruption. I always enjoyed the dynamic between Donald and Gigz. For some reason he's wearing velcro shoes in this comic. Usually he has untied laces. It's especially odd considering he obtained Fred the Boot just a couple comics previous to this one, and he had laces.

I looked at the full image to see what I put on the musty tomes in the final panel. Looks like just a series of ring shapes.
