Anybody can play chopsticks:

I will use my chopsticks to ply a drum to the tuna of “Sciaenidae”.

They should go to a Greek restaurant; the plates there can be very musical, though quite loud.

Just the same, Pig, do ‘Wipeout’!

When the comments are funnier than the strip…

I was expecting a pun out of this one

Here in Boise, if you go to an Asian restaurant, you are provided flatware and have to ask for chopsticks. When I used to live in the SF Bay Area many years ago, you were provided chopsticks and had to ask for flatware. I taught myself how to use chopsticks because my appetizers had arrived but the wait staff was too busy to provide the flatwear.

I’d like some drumsticks, and maybe some wings as well.

What is it with “GO COMICS”. They don’t understand that I am not going to become a member and they just have to keep hounding me? I guess they think if they use enough ‘pop-ups’ that I’ll give in……WRONG. I’ll just go somewhere else. Must have voted for ShrilLIARy.

I just bought my soon to 5 year old, (his birthday is tomorrow), a set of drums. He has been begging for some since he was 3 and went to a concert. For his birthday, I bought my self some really great ear muffs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH! I love ya big guy.

Dunno about drums, but when I started playing the cimbalom (aka hammered dulcimer), I experimented with a lot of kinds of sticks, and found that I had several pair of chopsticks in the kitchen that worked quite well. You can even hold them from either end, for two different sounds. I don’t play the instrument a lot, but I still keep some chopsticks in the bag of sticks, along with several kinds of sticks explicitly made for the instrument.

Pig doesn’t realize he could’ve escaped when he first came on the scene.

I’m just happy it’s not politics.

Oh, waiter? There’s a naked, dim-witted pig in your restaurant!

I sometimes use everyday things as drumsticks and drums, such as pencil and ruler for drumsticks and books for drums!
