Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 11, 2024

They aren’t the target audience, Miss Blisshaven.

I thought you can’t tie the banjo man down

Shades of Craig Ferguson.

Is a banjo man better than a ‘Fiddlin’ Man’? Cue Michael Martin Murphey.

It’s comforting to know her life-long passion and finesse on the accordion won’t go to waste.

Although Timmy has another wife and kid in Fargo that he has neglected to tell Miss Bliss about.

Sometimes, silence is deafening! ☺️

Ms Bliss deliverance of her banjo playing fiancee didn’t get them squealing…

I like the bling in second panel.

I take it the kids have met Mr. Fretwork and have not been impressed.

Look at those eyes: 3 sets of Googly Eyes, 3 sets of pin-point pupils.

And now, Timmy begins his real fret work… ツ

Many years ago I played the banjo a bit. I’m not sure there is such a thing as a “banjo virtuoso”. Perhaps Bela Fleck.

Now I wonder if these kids will still be at Blisshaven when she brings her first born in??? I mean, it IS comic reality…

As a life-long banjo player, I resemble that remark!

She sure is cheerful. Other teachers would’ve been like:

“Hello. How was your summer? Mine stunk. Let’s get on with it.”
