The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 11, 2013

Oooo, sax and violins!!

If it really has that much sax and violins, maybe the rating should be changed to PG-sharp, or even MA! All the other kids saw it!

You just got “tromboned”!

I heard it was band.

band in boston

That trombone has a lot of brass, thinking it can pick better than the banjo. And it was a low blow to bring up sax and violins to a minor keyed instrument.

Stay tuned for more.

The key to this cartoon is its harmony of foreground and background. Note the blend of homopunny and polyfunny between the words on the posters and the instruments. .I could Liszt other factors, too, but what the fugue. On a scale of one to 12, this an augmented ninth..Scott Hiburn and his sharp staff have taken a lot of treble to conduct this opus and have not fallen flat. They deserve a rest, or even a fermata. Then, Bach to work.

Is the trombone dueling with banjo?

To be a little picky (though it is funny), violins aren’t woodwinds.

Hilburn, you don’t have to B sharp, you already are. And much of the comments are clever.

On that note, time for an interlude.

Well, you watched it and now you’ve got to face the music.

Trombone knows Banjo won’t conduct himself well in the theater and will repeatedly bug her for a coda and popcorn. And she’d rather hit a few bars anyway.

Shouldn’t the banjo be the one to fret?

I didn’t know those instruments could reed..

yoww!! saxy!!

Practice, practice, practice: for a musician, it’s the key to saxcess.

I don’t think it’s a trombone. I think it’s one of PDQ Bach’s favorite instruments, a tromboon.

just the idea makes me horny .E.T. saxaphone home.Someone pass me the drum.I mean just look at the cymbalogy.He already saw the conductor scene on Youtuba!
