Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 29, 2023

That’s what I hated most about playing the clarinet. Crackers would dry up the reed.

That note pile, when pulled apart, could possibly be fashioned into a great symphony!

For some reason, I have “The Flight Of The Bumblebee” stuck in my head…..

Wow! I’ve never before seen such a complicated score as what Petey’s blowing in panel 2! J.S. Bach would be jealous! Alice (with her somewhat neglected doll) is just the right admiring audience for her big brother today, too….

I couldn’t find Fidgety Digits on the oboe, but here is is on the guitar.

Alice expression second panel…wonderment

I love that Alice’s doll is naked. Young children always have to undress dolls.

Dang-it! Not fidgety-digits! Now I have an ear-worm that will stick with me

It looks suspiciously like Zappa’s Black Page.

Hmmm, crackers and saliva. That might make a good paste and clog up the reed. It would certainly save us all an earful!

Simple pleasures, Alice? Ewwwwww!

Hot stuff. Throw down your doll and applaud!
