Peter is going to get killed for getting his parents to re-plaster that hole in the wall.

…aaaaaaand now you’ve blown out the speakers. Congratulations!

Turned it up to eleven?

What’s a stereo?

Nice. A little Bruce-juice!

Thunder Thunder over thunder road

Thunder was his engine And white lightning was his load

And there was moonshine moonshine To quench the devil’s thirst

The law they’ swore they’d get him

But the devil got him first……

Vintage Springsteen, some of the best!

Was his dad using the cassette deck again?

His ears will be ringing for several hours!

Marty McFly didn’t have a mute button, but he managed to do pretty much the same thing.

Now you can do the same if you want:

Who’s going to tell their mother about the wall?

Makes me think of a story I heard from a local nursing home. When the theme to 2001 came on, one of the nurses (or aids) turned up the volume to hear the first few notes, then came the crescendo. Some people who hadn’t heard much in a while did that day.

Jason must be nearly deaf for him not to be impacted as well …

to quote Marty McFly… “Rock and Roll!”

One of the oldest tech practical jokes. I remember doing that to my dad back in the 80’s. In that case it wasn’t a mute button rather I set it to the source to 8 track.

Best played by a “Jug Band.”

“Some times down to Asheville (Nashville?),some times Memphis town. The law they swore they’ed get him, but they never shut him down.

Paw, he made the whiskey.Son, he drove the load andwhen his engine thunderedthere was thunder, thunder, thunder on Thunder Road.thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load.

There was moonshine, moonshine, to quinch the devil’s thirst. The law swore they’ed get him,but the devil got’em first."

I like the missing sneaker

I don’t know why, i just am SO CURIOUS what the “A” on Peter’s mug stands for…

This is one of my favorite strips for panel three.
