I don’t think an uncle has the right to physically discipline a nephew (as it looks like in the last panel). An uncle must tell his sister who will make that decision. And he can’t be baring his arm to take the horn out of the aquarium because most of the horn is already out of thew water.
Oh, he’s just playing Reveille for the fish to get them moving!BTW, I have more issue with the cigarette than I do with Phil disciplining his nephew. But I would just grab the trumpet rather than swatting him.
I’m with ol’ Uncle Phil on this one. You explain it to them and reason with them, but still the youngster does something stupid like that. I’d be exasperated, too.
Maybe with the revised storyline he is going to grow up to become the Amazing Underwater Trumpet Player and sell tickets so people can watch him! His first hit solo: BLURAPP BLUP BLURP! :)

Calm down, Uncle Phil; he’s just a child.

Calm down, Phil, or you’ll have to see another Phil. (I mean McGraw, folks.)

I guess that’s why they made them out of brass to begin with.

If Michael is really interested – someone should pay for him to take lessons.

End of experiment. I don’t think the kid is interested. Should have tried the guitar first, after all.

he’s learned a tune already ‘tiny bubbles’

… it’s a case of bad uncle-ing. No one should choose a child’s instrument … but the child.

Those shock waves would probably be lethal to Phil’s fish. That might be a reason for him to get upset!

Don’t freak out, Phil . . . just Keep Calm and have another smoke and a glass of wine instead!!!!! ;-)
