"The Wiggle Much". First of all, the name doesn't make any sense to me. Wiggle is a noun, and in this case a name. But here it is used an adjective for a word that is usually an adjective but in this case serves as a noun -- "much".

I've figured out that this comic strip has essentially a nihilistic moral. Punishments and rewards are given out arbitarily. Hence, the fat of Wiggles versus the fate of The Ding Dong Bird.

In the final strip, the greeter of the new location calls the Ding Dong Bird "the Strangest thing I ever saw" and demands "did you dare come up the secret door". From what I gather, the Ding Dong Bird came in along with Wiggles, but the ire is directed squarely at the Ding Dong Bird, who immediately is given his mug-shot, and -- here it is a bit curious -- Wiggles and the Ding Dong Bird are taken to the dungeon -- Wiggles's expression moves from a smug smile to a doomed frown. Seemingly because the poster shows specifically The Ding Dong Bird and not Wiggles, Wiggles is let go, and The Ding Dong Bird is left to ponder its cruel fate and lot in life "Absurd! Absurd! But here I am, the Ding Dong Bird!"

The previous strip shows Wiggles brought upward to a new magical realm through a magician. "To sail away by this magic supreme shows how sublime your nature has been." But the Ding Dong Bird is grounded on Earth -- meaning, apparently, its nature is not sublime at all. And, once again, The Ding Dong Bird is left to ponder its sad fate: "Absurd! Absurd! But Here I am The Ding Dong Bird!" If this were Peanuts, Lucy would be pulling the football away from Charlie Brown right about here.

If anyone can tell me what the Ding Dong Bird did wrong to deserve his outlaw status, I'd like to know. He did disrupt Wiggles' flight, and that seems to be where the law came in for the final round - up, but I don't see how the Ding Dong Bird was particularly responsible for what appears to be simply crossing paths.
