Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip's basic premise is covered in the author's notes; this strip takes a potshot at The Mighty Kong's ending invoking the Spared by the Adaptation trope and its own musical format. The Mighty Kong uses characters derived from the original 1933 version of King Kong; Jodi Benson played Ann Darrow, Dudley More played Carl Denham (and also King Kong himself, albeit uncredited for that role).

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

The Mighty Kong is a 1998 animated musical adaptation of the classic King Kong story, which somehow managed to rope Jodi Benson and the late Dudley Moore into its cast. Trust me, that is but the tip of the iceberg.

Original strip: 2015-08-06.
