Jimmy Thudpucker, a rock star who first appeared in the Doonesbury comic strip in the 70s, at the height of his popularity, recently sat with Mark Slackmeyer to discuss his recent success in the ringtone market.  Over the years since his peak, he has reappeared frequently, often on Mark’s radio show, to comment on music trends such as hip hop and Napster.

In this strip, Thudpucker explains that you need a two second song to be assured of the ring being an appropriate message and other keys to having a successful “ringle” (they haven’t used that word yet — Trudeau hasn’t been hanging w/record people).
