Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 21, 2010

Kevin, I’d want to leave, too.

Wait, Timmy is a “Banjo Man” and yet his brother Jimmy is the ne’er-do-well? What is he, a “Kazoo Man”?

He’s the Bongo Man.

Naw, bongos are cool. No, Jimmy is Ocarina Man.

Nah, he plays the comb and tissue paper…

I think he is a jug player out of work at the present time.

Best keep the little children out of ear shot too…

I want to be a ne’er-do-well brother to a banjo man. That must be seven steps closer to enlightenment than being just a banjo man.

Better not watch when they deliver the safe too.

@lonewolf - he’s emptying jugs in preparation for his next gig? * Hic! *

I want to go home, too, Kevin.

Seriously, if you’ve never moved a piano before, you can’t possibly know the horror story that it involves.

Worse: Jimmy plays bass.

Right when I read what Kevin said I heard the voice of Ralph Wiggum in my head , I can’t be the only one .

Rent-A-Plenty….Ne’er-do-well….Timmy and Jimmy Fretwork….What a HOOT! Love this comic to bits!

If Timmy’s the reliable one in the family, are you really sure you want to be marrying into the Fretworks, Miss Bliss?

The piano was no doubt rolling around unsecured in the back of the truck. Everyone knows you can’t tie down, if you’re a Banjo Man.

Only 14 more shipping days until National Cartoonist Day!

Maybe Jimmy Fretwork is the inspiration for that trash bag commercial where the piano is being hoisted on a rope up to a window in a high-rise and the rope breaks… it appears the trash bag will be used to “catch” the piano, but alas, the piano crashes to the ground and so the piano is delivered in pieces inside the trash bag.

My word, there’s two of them?!?

Perhaps an Accordion Man?

Ah, yes, the classic Laurel & Hardy short, “The Music Box”!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheMusicBox
