To AmyGrantfan: It appears the strip is alluding to “A Pirate’s Life for Me” written by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio in 1967 for the Disneyland theme park and later used in the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
First stanza:
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.We kidnap and ravage and don’t give a hoot,Drink up me ’earties, yo ho.
Another commenter referred to (and I am not familiar with) the comic operetta “Pirates of Penzance” (by Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert). The strip may be a tip-of-the-hat to the song “Rollicking Ban of Pirates We”. Perhaps . . .
I don’t like gnats. Spiders kill gnats and eat them. I like spiders. Spiders are welcome to make their webs in my home as long as they are in the dark corners out of sight.

Well, a splattered spider does sort of resemble the one star (review) that Garfield is about to give.

Forget it, Garfield – you’ve got to be pretty tough to be in show business!

Sadly, the reviews were not good and so, the one-spider show came to an abrupt end that night.
