Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 28, 2018

Petey sure doesn’t haver the lung capacity when it comes to exhaling through his clarinet (or was it oboe?).

When Petey gets older he can graduate from Oboe to Baffoon!

Petey drooling? What next-his food all touching on his plate?

Well they do look somewhat fidgety.

Petey channeling his inner Pharaoh Sanders.

Alice always seems most impressed when Petey’s foibles are on display.

Petey’s oboe needs a spit valve.

Split reeds can be murder.

I’m impressed! No “Oonks!” or “Eenks!”

How do you tune two oboes? Shoot one of the oboeists.

Fidgety Digits indeed! That is for sure one grand heap of notes all amassed on that staff in panel 2! No wonder Petey (my hero!) drools a river. But I tend to think crackers before playing might weaken his delivery….
