There's a lot! Going on! Here!!

I assume he's referencing a strip or strips that he's got a beef with, the way he's beefed with "Doonesbury" (in a very one-sided way).

The other explanation, of course, is that he's poking fun at his own strip.

If he uses this as a springboard to get out of the constant fucking and back to stories I'll be thrilled.

Because here he is, the Monday after a full week of "erotic music playing" strips that culminated in Edda essentially wearing lingerie on stage, talking about strip creators who run out of ideas and just do the same thing over and over. Apparently afraid that THIS strip is running out of ideas Amos shreds his turtleneck and throws himself upon Edda's sexual mercy.

Is he wearing pants? Did he rip those off as well, or was he just wearing a long coat? A turtleneck dress? This is really the best "new idea" he could come up with? More sex?

Well, Amos wearing less clothing than Edda is different, I guess.

The two of them acting sexually outside isn't, though. I assume they're outside, they're both wearing coats. But really they could be anywhere.

But! Let's focus on the most important thing!!

HOW can one mention Richard Wagner underpants AND THEN NOT SHOW THEM? Comic strips are a visual medium! We didn't even get a background here! Just Amos in white boxer shorts (white trousers?) and then a description! Is it the BACK of them that's decorated? What are they decorated with? His face? A Valkyrie helmet? Some iron crosses?

One can also ask how one's spouse can remain unaware of this sort of novelty undergarment, or why one would not include their spouse in the "select crowd" that knows they exist. One could. If one felt so inclined.

I have to wonder if he's a member of a "classical composer underpants of the month" subscription service, a service which could probably milk some money from a certain kind of nerd.
