Having debuted in 1988 in the short-lived British daily, The Post, Steve McGarry's western spoof strip "Badlands" was snapped up the following year by The Sun, Britain's best-selling newspaper. The silly and saucy antics of Marshal Mask and his motley mob of maladjusted misfits were an immediate hit with the paper's 7.5 million readers. During its 12-year run in The Sun, Badlands spawned two best-selling book collections in the UK.

I had to look this one up. It’s referring to that long musical instrument used in Australia that gives a low pitched hollow sound. But I don’t get the humor of today’s strip.

And I thought Didgeridoo was a euphemism for something else.

FYI, the Aboriginal didgeridoo was hollowed out by termites.

A didgeridoo is a long hollow tube of wood, most of the sound and melody is created by the person playing it, kind of like a giant kazoo, usually with a low tone, often accompanied by percussion, drums, etc.
