Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 21, 2016

what an impact

Wow, indeed. I bet even Petey himself didn’t realize what powerful stuff that oboe treatise is. And his playing—just overwhelming!

You’re playing my tune.

That’s a lot of context!

i think alice and dill are messing with petey.

i like panel three where dill wipes his drippy nose on his sleeve. such a little boy move

I’ve read the whole series three times, and yet sometimes they put a strip up, like this one, that I don’t remember at all.

This is just wonderful! An hilarious lesson on the power of music.

Heek a hook, yall.

The oboe plays beautifully if you know how to use it.

Not just “Wow!”, Petey, “Oomaboogy Wow Wow Wow!”

I loved this strip, having had a brother, husband and daughter that played the oboe – and I agree, once you know how to play it, it is beautiful.

Flying Little Monkey would have gotten a different reaction from his audience.

Petey’s got soul !!!

I can’t tell if they’re pulling his leg or not…
