Organ Transplant

Pipe organ built into a human heart

The result of my 30-second crash course in heart anatomy.  You're welcome. 
I've kind of had music on the brain lately (not literally (I think)), as I've been trying to finish up my contributions for this year's RPM Challenge.  Which reminds me, if you don't hear from me again after this it means I musicked myself to death (is that a word?).  Or I've been hospitalized and am in need of what is depicted above. 

Now back to work.  Symphony to finish.

Dances with Werewolves


Werewolf Mom and Dad dance in the kitchen on the full moon  Music: In touch with the ground, I'm on the hunt I'm after you, Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found, and I'm hungry like the wolf  Daughters watch: Are other people's parents this weird  Not a clue

It's a good kind of weird, though.

I planned on doing this comic for Valentine's Day weeks ago, and then recently discovered that this year the holiday lands on a full moon.  Clearly this was meant to be.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Wardrobe Malfunction

Snowy day  Vampire walks by with torn cape  You got your cape frozen to the ground again  Why do we even wear these things

They wear them for style, of course!
And also to provide a stereotypical shorthand so I don't have to explain the joke every time I draw a cartoon about vampires.  Which is about a quarter of the time. 

But mostly style.

Please Hold

Girl student waits on hold, as the automated system plays music and repeats  Thank you for holding  We value your call, and will have an employee with you shortly  Over an hour later, she's still waiting and has been driven insane

The hold line for the Financial Aid office at my school is like this, complete with the same flutey classical piece played on loop.  I assume it's to weed out the less desperate students.

Communication Barrier

Teacher: boom tish kek kek shhhhep tik bish tokka zep tikka voom boff kek tikki boom buzz thunka bringa bof tokka boom  Student: He's a percussion teacher  They lose the ability to speak non-onomatopoeias after a while


I've never seen it happen to this extent, but I've seen some teachers come close.  And I don't even play percussion.  You can tell which percussionists have missed their cues when the instructor starts shouting out their parts at them over the rest of the band.  Bonus points if he flat out ignores the rest of the band and starts air-drumming along to said part. 
That poor kid on the wood blocks last semester never got a break.

Good Jokes are in Hibernation

Little bird shivers in the snow  Your days are numb-bird

A combination of non-functioning internet and blogger issues decreed that this comic would be late.  Personal illness decreed that this comic would consist of a really, really bad pun.  You still love me, right?
