Ear Worm/Newspaper Comics

Examples of Ear Worms in Newspaper Comics include:

• Rat does this to mess with Pig in a Pearls Before Swine strip by singing John Denver's "Country Roads, Take Me Home" near him. Rat even admits that he's doing it to plant an Ear Worm in his friend's head.
• Tom Tommorrow's This Modern World once introduced a superhero named Anagram Man, but for the purposes of this entry we must take note of his sidekick, Song-In-Your-Head Boy.
• One Nemi strip features an Ear Worm taking over a bus. Much to the annoyance of the main character.

Cyan: (humming away) Hey, do you hear it too?
Nemi: (visibly straining) No! I'm hearing Raining Blood by Slayer! Louder, and louder and louder!

• Norm from My Cage once got a song stuck in his head; when pressured to tell what song it was he finally admitted it was the FreeCreditReport.com jingle.

Norm: Advertising has salted my soul. Nothing good can grow there again.

• A Sunday strip of Zits has Hector confessing to Jeremy that he has a show tune stuck in his head. After much pestering from Jeremy, it is revealed to be "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria" from The Sound of Music, at which point Jeremy gets it stuck in his head as well.
