Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 22, 2020

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this and the prior strip:

Sadly, the youtube.com video it points to is no longer available; but maybe this

can act as a substitute.

well, at leas the girls are having fun together poking fun of their brothers’ instruments

I can’t wait for Alice to get a bagpipe and Sofie an accordion.

Ridiculing big brothers; friends for life!

The joy of music.

If music be the food of friendship, play on…..

They’ve bonded! Friends forever!

thanks for making my day! it’s so good to see Alice and her “best friend” Sophie being silly / having the best fun at the concert . we all need days like that!

Well, THIS concert has GOT to be better than those wretched Recorder concerts that my school put on annually. (All grade 5 students squeaking their way through some inane tune.). Those were entirely too embarrassing. :P

A split-reed conspiracy.

My heart goes out to Miss Bliss with these two.

If you can’t laugh uproariously at a pretentious concert, then where can you?

Don’t know about bagpipes and accordions but Alice and Sophie make the best music!

Attended a performance of the Nutcracker a long time ago. At one point there appeared the Mouse King. A kid in the audience screamed "look mommy it’s a rat! " brought the house down.

Contrabassoon in elementary school? I did not start playing that until 10th grade.

What can one say? Alice and her new BFF Sofie are really enjoying the concert, in their own way! Ssh!

They remind me of me and my best friend from 2nd grade. :-D

Best friends

I don’t know, I fail to see how the laughter of children make this concert any worse.
