He’s completely zen, strangely at peace with the situation. The bright cartoon landscape and heavy texture keep the whole thing from taking itself too seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe William Tell Overture has always reminded me of the seriousness of silliness. The Three Stooges, early cartoons, comedy where the timing is perfect, the danger is absurd, and everyone somehow survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLong story short, it’s a mix of symbols and Rig getting himself into trouble again. If you really want the full experience, the William Tell Overture should probably be playing on full volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jimmy Houston Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49047221436571,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0099\/9810\/6720\/files\/IMG-5987.jpg?v=1784645616","url":"https:\/\/jimmyhoustonart.com\/products\/light-one-for-william","provider":"Jimmy Houston Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
