 ==Explanation==
-Cellular phone users can set nearly ''anything'' as their {{w|ringtone}}; even the default rings on new phones are a short string of notes put together, and serve a dual purpose as a company's trademark. [[Cueball]] is saying that there's one thing in his life he's never compromised on: When someone calls his phone, it makes a ''ringing'' sound. Of course, this is a rather minor thing on which to make a stand.
+This comic begins with [[Cueball]] staring introspectively out the window, reflecting on his life's choices. He first comments on his regrets and failures, but reassures himself it was all worth it by standing firm to a single moment he stuck to his convictions for a better purpose. This fairly serious scene is broken up by the punchline that his proud moment is completely mundane and not at all remarkable: Cueball doesn't use novelty ringtones for his cellular phone.
 The comic also seems to begin very seriously, with Cueball standing at a window looking at the setting sun which also indicates that he's in a late phase or near the end of his life whie pondering about his past life and thus the comic relief is provided by the turn to the inconsequential; this is mirrored in the zooming-in to the cell phone on the table.

 To continue the comic's theme of Cueball-as-crochety-old-man, the title text says that he needs a lawn, so he can yell at kids to stay off of it — a stereotypical "old man" {{w|You_kids_get_off_my_lawn!|behavior}}.
