There’s a store here in Tucson called Metro Gnome music. The Metro Gnomes in their logo look like garden gnomes except they play the tuba and violin.

This series is, IMHO, among the funniest things I have ever read in comics. This gnome thing runs for 4 days and just gets funnier. I copied it when it originally ran and keep them together on my office wall to read when I need the pick-me-up. Enjoy this week, folks, this is GF at its best :)
