Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 31, 2021

This comic is not noteworthy.

I expected “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” but got “Yankee Doodle” instead. True, he finally gets around to a couple measures of Vivaldi before cleaning it up: something I always felt “The Seasons” needed, and P.D.Q. Bach did so much better as “The Seasonings.”

Noted. Past tense.

Fall music.

Need to clear the way for Christmas Music

His staff is seasick (and so is his girlfriend).

Vivaldi:

Dropped a note.

1. Don’t play new wave in a boat.

2. Why would you be different, Horace?

3. Let’s make an note not to play classical music while raking.

C1 – apparently Melody is the Director of Music…!

C2 – the lesson today is to work on placing the blame before anything happens… so you are ready whenever something happens…!

C3 – That’s what happens if you finish racking before the song ends…!

OK, what’s the music score up on the upper left?

And on that note,I’m dropping the Treble-Ing sound

Yankee Doodle, isn’t it?

Vivaldi didn’t write 300 concertos. He wrote the same one 300 times. His music sounds like a sewing machine.

First three panels: Is that Chopin? It looks choppy.

Is that “Yankee Doodle”? (The Vivaldi is Vivaldi, for sure.)

DOBLY… can’t tell if you miss-typed accidentally, or on purpose to avoid trademark issues.

The great thing about a rake is you don’t need hearing protection and you can actually listen to Vivaldi.

I like how the music gets queasy by the third panel.

3rd one is another variant of a “Peanuts” gag that was done quite a few times, usually featuring Schroeder and Snoopy.
