Unfortunately the end of the year is the busiest time at my work, and I've been lagging behind in getting comics made. So in fact none of this comic is my own work (beyond assembling the pieces). The song lyrics are by Steven Marsh, editor of Pyramid, and a damn fine writer of song parodies. And the artwork is Creative Commons material from:
