That's outstanding.

If that is a joke it's literally gone completely over my head.

Grateful Dead humor Jazzy... lyric to "He's Gone" includes the phrase "...steal the face right offa' your head..." Gary Larson's cartoon hunters have encountered a Stealie, or Steal Your Face. Gotta' be careful with them things.

Love it!

Bill, tgo

Thanks Ed, I will have to check out that song.

One of my favorites to play along with. Fun little tricks with measure. Here's Dead & Co.

Cartoonist, Gary Larson has been retired for several years now, recently started issuing a limited run of new funnies. His take on things was often ironic, and literal. I know some folks, -my Mom is one- who just didn't get why it was so funny. And that's okay... the world would be boring if we all thought the same things. I think he must be a musician too, from all the cartoons with music humor within.

Why listen to a Grateful Dead tribute band when you can hear the real McCoy!

 Just noticed Phil has a Tribute shaped bass like Jerry's. I didn't realised that shape went back so far for basses. I saw one on the forum in recent years and thought that was the first.

Ahh, the Irwin bass... two P pickups. I wonder what ever became of it? Perhaps it will resurface in a couple years too.


I just try to take it all in Bill, let the subconscious sort it out when I'm learning one. "He's Gone" is a great (Grate?) tune, one of my favorites. I hope to play it with you guys out there one day.

I wonder if that notion had anything influence on the scene in Silence of the lambs when Hannibal wears the guards face.

I never made that connection before!  After that happened in the movie, he was gone!

I must note that the cartoon is doctored; the Stealie is covering another flower, upon which sits a butterfly - frothing at the mouth.  The actual caption is "“Johnson, back off! It’s an Armandia lidderdalii, all right—but it’s rabid!”
