- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Could someone please explain the joke?
I don’t know the reference or German.
German band Rammstein has a famous song named "Du Hast" which starts off the chorus with "du ... du hast ... du hast mich etc. etc.". Du hast is German for "you have".
And if you're just listening to the song, the lyrics sound like "you... you hate... you hate me... you asked me...", etc. It's a play on words and you're not really supposed to understand if it's hast (have, part of a past tense phrase) or hasst (hate) until the whole sentence is out
Rammstein is fan of this sort of "new verse = old verse + something that contradicts the meaning of the old verse" wordplay. It does the same in "Wo bist du", like:
with every verse forging a meaning that is destroyed in the next by the addition of (a) new word(s).
