Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 26, 2024

Nice . . . job!

Tuba or not Tuba? That is the question.

Yes, the inflatable tuba— for all your travel needs.

tuballoon…

Curious what noise comes out when deflated …

The tuba has been reclassified as a wind instrument.

Now where’s that inflatable piccolo?

Inner Tuba!!

“Those who play the tuba just want to fart.” ~ Albert Einstein.

Horsie playing elevator music eh.

Is this a funny comic strip? It is my first time reading it

ha, an easier way to bring your instrument. ;)

I need to show my Dad this one—he’s played tuba himself back in the day.

Oooooompapa ooooooompapa!

Horace is a blow hard. Have a blessed weekend everyone.

air horn

I don’t get it.

wait…! Has Horace given up playing his air guitar…?

Better than carrying it everywhere over your shoulder.

There’s another gag on a similar theme, 2/22/2016. Horace is sitting with a French horn, and as soon as he starts to blow it, it uncoils itself across the rest of the panel like a New Year’s whistle. (I don’t have hundreds of these cartoons memorized—I just keep a copy of that one in my bassoon case!)

It was right next to his tube a toothpaste.

Innertuba tunes..

my son could have used this, he was assigned the tuba in 5th grade band, it was almost as big as he was. He dropped band and took up bass and electric guitars the next year and still plays professionally over 20 years later

The cost of live music has increased because of inflation.

My tuba toothpaste doesn’t fit in my bathroom.

A terrific idea. Unfortunately, it sounds like a cross between a whoopy cushion and a bagpipe. Otherwise, everyone would have one. :)

My twisted mind went to deflating Automatic Pilot scene from Airplane! movie.

Well if elephants can trumpet out of something softer than brass, then maybe this would work.
