Mexikid Stories by Pedro Martin for January 21, 2022

Senor Martin, Be Well, and Good Luck!!!! We will await your return!!!

A beautiful, happy ending!

And that’s how the game of musical chairs became too confusing. :)

May the rest of the winter be gentle with you, Pedro. And I’d rather have a sofa than a chair. More comfortable.

While Pedro is off working on his book, don’t forget to check out past comics at mexikid.com where there’s a short write-up about each one. And you can access the store from there (or below) for some Mexikid merchandise.

Another high-stakes challenge:

Steve Vai actually played both sides, except for the slide guitar at the beginning played by Ry Cooter. The winning part at the end is based on a Paganini virtuoso violin piece. I think Steve Vai did a great job, not only playing some great guitar but also making it clear even to people who don’t know a lot about music or guitar virtuosity that he lost the duel. The kid does some great acting, too, and does a good job of faking it except at the end when he got lost in the octave-switching and ended up low on the neck when he should have been high and vice versa.

Some trombone virtuosity:

Oh, my, but you have left my sides hurting from laughing!

I don’t get it?

Also, Sr. Martin, we miss you here

Pedro, we miss your stories. Hope that all is well.

That was truly one Looney Tunes “Duck season/Rabbit season” moment.
