Author: Charles Steinhardt

The strips can be sorted to read a series of (most of) song titles, wrapping around as necessary:

H  E  R  E  C  O  M  E  S  T  H  E  A  I  N  T  N  O  S  H
I  N  E  B  L  I  S  T  E  R  I  N  T  H  E  G  L  A  S  S
E  S  A  T  N  I  G  H  T  W  A  L  K  I  N  G  O  N  S  H
I  N  E  S  E  A  S  O  N  S  I  N  T  H  E  H  O  U  S  E
O  F  T  H  E  R  I  S  I  N  G  B  L  A  C  K  H  O  L  E

Each title has the answer, SUN, omitted.
