Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for September 10, 2020

Never french kiss a French Horn. It unravels them.

I hate when that happens.

If he sucked really hard, would it return back to its original shape. I know this is a silly question as Horace never sucks.

The notes don’t look that different either way.

That is probably the best rendered horn that I’ve ever seen in a comic strip. (Not that there’s been a lot of competition.)

Check out Samson’s signature. it has also unravelled. :)

Gasp! He’s come undone…

We can only imagine what would happen to bagpipes.

What a blowhard.

That sure straightened things out.

Next Horace will be playing his bugle at the Kentucky Derby…!

You don’t really blow, it’s just an expression. -Chevy Chase

That’s why you don’t see many French horns with mutes.I stayed at a musician’s place in San Francisco. She played in the symphony and had to practice her French horn. I told her I had had to deal with people practicing saxophone but she warned me, it was not the same. French horn is practiced by blowing individual sustained notes. It’s not melodic.

Speaking of notes, what is the music over on the left?

Sometimes you dont know what super-power-of-the-day that you’re going to get from my Nuclear Coffee until you accidentally use it

A good blow from a horse will do that.

In panel three the horn looks like something one of those Who’s would play in Dr. Suess’ “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”.

Horace is full of hot air.
