Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for August 09, 2020

Well, we expected music, not the sound of a cat being dragged backwards through a keyhole.

The dog is priceless!

Yes. We said MUSICAL instrument.

Then practice it in Scotland.

They’ll call him an amazing disgrace.

Instrument of torture.

Why do bagpipers march? To get away from the noise.

According to an English court some time in the 1700s, the bagpipes are not “an instrument of music”, but “an instrument of war”.

(That’s not just a folk tale. Though I don’t have the details — the date and place — handy, I seem to recall that Wikipedia does.)

Worst alarm clock ever ! , (Really I quite like the Pipes) don’t forget to pay the Piper.

That looks like a brass instrument’s mouthpiece and not the usual reed one would find on a set of bagpipes.

That kid had better run before they stick the pipes where the sun don’t shine!

Or nails being scraped across a chalk board early in the morning.

Hoot Man!

My kinda kid!

Right. Get rid of that thing and get one.

Good thing he didn’t choose the cello!

Makes you appreciate there’s no sound on gocomics.

I really, really love the bagpipes! Gonna miss hearing them at the Highland Games this year. (Ain’t gonna happen)

A theory never good in practice.

Practice comes before school.

Difference between bagpipes and the violin? Nobody cries if you accidentally step on the bagpipes.

“Pipes are my bag, man.”
