Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 17, 2019

But Alice is still confused, Petey and Dill, of what “you can’t tie down a banjo man” means.

It’s true. You can’t tie one down. But you CAN tie one up.

Thank you, Dill, for clearing that up.

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, a blog entry preceded this strip:

My dad played the banjo. He used to go into the bedroom and close the door when he practiced so he wouldn’t disturb anyone. We could still hear the banjo all over the house and out into the yard.

In our neighborhood, the Banjo Man has been linked to a series of gruesome murders.

I use “You can’t tie down a banjo man” whenever someone says that I need to slow down in life. They don’t get it, but I do. I laugh on the inside (although, sometimes, that may just be gas).

Banjo Man Rob McLaren wrote a song inspired by this line:

“You cant tie an banjo man down” is my favorite quote from Cul de Sac

My Hero speaks the truth of the ages! Look upon panel 3, ye unbelievers, and believe. For the disciple Dill has spread the words unto you!

You can’t tie down a Banjo Man!
