I miss Gary Larson's "The Far Side" too. (he would quite often inject musical humor into his strips)

*for instance- Raymond's School of Drumming right next door to the Institute for the Study of Migraine Headaches.

Gary Larson has come out of retirement and published a few new Far Side!  Alas....the resumption of Humor in this plague.

...and I hear Mike Judge is working on new Beavis and Butthead ;D


I'll admit I expected a Freak Bros. cartoon when I first saw this thread

Greg - Breathed is doing new Bloom County strips on a semi-regular basis; they are posted on his FB page, and then with a bit of a lag on gocomics.com.

Elwood - Now I'm going to have go up in the attic & dig out issues 1-7 of FFFB comics; they are the basis of my personal philosophy (and Junkwaffel #1, introducing Cheech Wizard - before he became a wizard, IIRC)

From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_the_Cat"Bill spent time as an unintelligible rock star who sang and played "electric tongue" with his heavy metal band Deathtöngue, later Billy and the Boingers. Bill got rich when their song "U-Stink-But-I-♥-U" became a jingle for Wheat Thins, but he did not share the wealth with his bandmates. Although Bill was the front-cat of Billy and the Boingers, the band excluded him and disbanded when it became public that he spent his nights staying up late, reading the Bible with a nun. After this incident, Bill became the televangelist "Fundamentally Oral Bill", parodying (and, in the Bloom County universe, rivaling) real-life televangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker and Oral Roberts."

I'll have to admit Bloom County was one of my favorite music joke comics ever.  I'm looking for one where Bill the Cat was ejected from a 3 Dog Night Concert after accidentally inhaling a bong 😂

If you select everything. and press the 2nd to last button...it will
remove any formatting (like gremlin font sizing).


If I see the three dog night /bong comic I know what to do  :D

"Fundamentally Oral Bill"

Sounds like Zappa should have written a song about him.

That comic line also introduced the term "Truckin'" !

Bell-bottomed bearded guy stolling with his arms bent at the waist and a looong leg out-stretched for the next step on the stroll . . . Garcia and dead lifted?

Jerry had that same sticker, in red, white, and black, on Alligator for a while.

I keep this Gary Larson gem pinned to the corkboard over my desk at Crystal Spring, for days when I just need a giggle and a reminder that it actually could be worse.

I too have a copy of the Samurai Bar cartoon displayed where I can see it every day; attached to the range hood over our cooktop, and it's been there for about 15 years. One of my favorite bits of nonsensical humor that I've ever experienced.

I have been looking for years for the Doonesbury strip, probably from the late 70s, where there are people with drums protesting at the White House. And then the drums stop. You know what happens then.


But these will have to do in the meantime.

Fine acts all (well, except for LZ) - but why are none of the codgers championing The Greatest Rock'N'Roll Band In The History Of The Universe???

I dunno, Bill; last time I was in AK to visit my 38-y-o youngest (32 at that time), he was driving around listening to a cassette of Hank.
