Mark J. Hadley:

With the introduction of the harlequins around John's house in the comic, I was inspired to make a theme song for them. Since it was still early on in the comic, I decided to do it in an 8-bit style, and I figured that I could make remixes of it later if harlequins still turned out to be important in the comic. It turns out I didn't have to very much, since a lot of the other music team ended up remixing it! It still stands as my most favorite 8-bit melodies I've written.

Updated the sound credits page. [...] Also thanks to Mark Hadley for the song you can hear briefly on this page. We will get to hear that song in its entirety at a later date.

Another top-notch tune by Mark. You might recall a small portion of this song was played on this page too. You may additionally recall Mark was the fellow who brought us this composition.
