Original Commentary

Yes, it's a fourth-wall gag. This was the most difficult comic to write because I wanted to make it obvious without being too obvious. The punchlines went through several variations to make the "vaudeville singer in an office environment" gimmick more obvious (as opposed to just Richard and Sinclair being strange) - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Honestly, wrestling is inherently ridiculous. There's no point pretending it isn't, so why not lean into the ridiculousness?

You should have vampires and zombies and yetis and sea monsters. The sport is richer for their presence.

That's why one of our favorite promotions is Mystery Wrestling, where the longest-running feud is Sasquatch vs Franklin Meyer the hot dog guy. - Terrence
