Low-budget cartoon characters always wear neckties (if male) or necklaces (if female). Or collars, even if they don't have shirts (see illustration). Or have some outlandish costume that obscures part of their neck. This is because if a character's standing and talking, it's cheaper to just animate the head while using only one drawing for the body. A collar makes a nice dividing line to let animators do this while making it easy to keep the body parts together. Often serves as Tertiary Sexual Characteristics. Examples of Ring Around the Collar include:

| - Get Fusion Courage! We're not afraid of you, Fuse!
- Yipe! Now defeat five Bully Behemoths.
- Now you have to find Fusion Courage inside the Firepits infected zone. He's the scary creature that's helping to make all the other scary creatures even stronger.
- Good job with the spooky Ghastly Growths. The weirdo Bully Behemoths are next. These creatures are really strong, and Fuse hopes to make them even stronger, so watch out.
- Fusion Courage leads all the creatures in the Darklands. He's more powerful than an entire herd of Doom Striders! Once you get him, maybe you'll get a Nano!
- Hooray. Now you need to go to the Firepits infected zone.
- You did really great against those monsters. Fuse is weaker already. You gotta go now to the Firepits infected zone. One more monster to get.
- Now you gotta find -- GULP! Fusion Courage! Shiver!
- It's Nano Time! You need to go to the Dark Glade infected zone. Whimper!
- Fuse is taking the power of the Dark Tree in the Dark Glade and making his monsters more powerful. You have to go to the Dark Glade infected zone to take care of four Ghastly Growths to prevent them from absorbing the powerful energies of the Dark Tree. Yikes!

| - Fuse is trying to use Dark Magic to make the creatures in the Darklands more powerful. I fought Ghastly Growths and Bully Behemoths in the Dark Glade. Then I found Fusion Courage in the Firepits and defeated him.

A collar makes a nice dividing line to let animators do this while making it easy to keep the body parts together. Often serves as Tertiary Sexual Characteristics. Hanna-Barbera TV cartoons abused this most egregiously while Anime employed it with devices like the All-Encompassing Mantle. The advent of digital animation has rendered this a largely Discredited Trope, used mostly as a tribute to the classics - although, the equivalent is still utilised in 3D animation for digital games - characters are built out of multiple, non-connected models, with things like collars, watches, and the like, being used to hide the seams, akin to traditional 2D.
