Hope he didn’t crack the violin. Usually it’s someone trying to play “The Devil went down to Georgia”.

Shoulda stuck with Scheherazade.

Try playing “flight of the bumblebee” on a glass harmonica.

Wow! Who knew cat gut could cut.

Too much violins in the comics today… need more sax.

The double bass player must be cellous.

An epic arc.

I think she’s flouting the truth with the “self inflicted accident” story. And the Bass player is stringing them along.

Detective Bleeb searching for clues. Check the music score, and how does a bass and flute fit in with “The Flight Of The Bumble Bee”?

Ah Ha! Detective Bleeb thinks Mr. Berry might have a motive. Mr.Berry did not want to play second fiddle.

Creating a musical ‘sting’.

Looks to me like it was orchestrated.

He started to play the famous Venus Flytrap cadenza…

“I dunno Detective, I think that violin bow B-Sharp, heh-heh!” “Dat was a good musical pun dere Sarge, but as a well trained and seasoned Detective, I have combed every inch o’dis here crime scene, and I have collected an abundance o’ physical evidence to support da only possible outcome dat could be derived from all da intense ascertainin’ and determinatin’ dat would lead me to da utmost conclusion and da development of a potential suspect dat could be da only possible perpetrator…. ehhhh, I really got nuttin’ here Sarge, so I figure I’m just gonna blame it on dat weird-little-yellow-alien-bug-lookin’-thing standin’ behind dat mook wit da bow tie!(Dun-Dun-Dunnnn!) シ

Needs more cowbell.

ewwwwwwwwww

Should of just played “The Bee”. Jack Benny played it for years and never hurt himself.

Somebody got tuned up…probably done by the brass…

You could call this a Classic Case, but I wouldn’t. :>)
