String attached



Does this "string attached" the phrase has a meaning seperately? (is this late sentence I wrote correct? Emotion: embarrassed )
I could't find any proper meaning for that whole sentence.

Usually,"string" is plural. "No strings attached" is an idiom. It means that there are no tricks, limitations, hidden conditions, or other things that you have to do to get what is being offered.

The joke in the comic strip has changed the idiom. Instead of "no strings attached," it uses "a string attached."
It is part of the joke, kind of a play on the language.
