The Ringtones… Kid Viscious… Bruce… Janet… Who is the kid talking to? Why doesn’t Telly use the case that was with the Stradivarius? Maybe it’s too small for the growing violin!
Hey, thanks for the timely Crimestoppers! I’m assuming it’s a reference to the danger that I might whoop it up tonight, what with Sunday, January 3rd being the traditional night for whooping it up too much.
Wait … why does Phillip Harmonic want the police to find his son? I don’t understand … I haven’t been told enough times … WHY doesn’t Locher tell us what’s going on ENOUGH TIMES so we can GET IT??????
In the second panel Phil should be saying, “IT HAPPENED!!” Why does Locher/Brozman insist on having characters stand there with their arms outstretched to each side? No one really ever stands like that.
Winter SNOW (and for real), the Uniformed cop wears his cap but knuckle head Tracy is going out “bare back”, braving the wind and snow !
That’s the sixth, near, exact replication (paste-up?) of the Concert hall if we include the one looking like a flying saucer perched on a wall (12-19)
Panel 3 : It seems Phillip despite the loss of the Stradivarious is taking care of his digestion - He’s still masticating on Sam Catchem’s Jewish sandwich.
Panel 6 : Are those two “Stevie” and “Bruce” from Ludwig’s Rock Band visiting Fatso ?
Who’s band are they really in ?
Panel 7 : How could a man grow OH SO FAT?? At first I thought, patterned after “Lou Costello” with Lou Gehrig’s disease of the mouth
But no, a little exageration is not a bad thing !.
Harmonic Junior has talked to Janet (possibly from the grave) (or maybe it’s Jackson, not Joplin) and now Bruce (supposedly still alive). Who’s next? Elvis? Frank? 2Pac?
I’m having a touch of deja vu here. Did someone already make a similar comment, say a month or so ago?

Yesterday he was talking to Janet on the phone and today it’s Bruce. They must be in the same room passing the phone around.
It’s only breezy enough today for Kid Rocker’s hair to flow but not the scarf.

We’ll just continue to get really bad music puns. Oh joy.

The wav is on it’s way. Here’s a YouTube video of it…

First panel: the concert hall makes its uh, I dunno, I’ve lost count , 4th? appearance. But DL innovates by coloring it this time.

The unbelievable suspense continues into the last panel with “The Mystery of the Floating Violin”.

Given the pacing on this strip, I think ‘Kid Viscous’ would be more appropriate.

yes, if you drink too much, DON’T get behind the wheel!— move over to the passenger seat and steer with your left like a rural mail carrier

Hey Maestro! Your priceless Strad isn’t priceless anymore. $2 mil, to be exact. That’ll buy a lot of wattage and lasers.

The kid’s got the Tom Baker Dr. Who scarf, as has previously been noted, he sold the violin to a Sontaran. When do the Daleks show up?

Anyone remember “Steve Vaught” that 400 lb, Fat Man (from 2 years ago) who tried to walk from Los Angelese to New York ?
We’ve got him !
Locher likes the B.O.Plenty family so much he should bring back Morin Plenty and recruit Fatty for a new cross country walk, right into Times Square !

The way I remember it, Grimegobber’s Tipsbook seldom made much sense even when Gould was doing it. Once in a while it did….
