This gathering of characters makes for a great display of cartooning.
And Kelly's understanding of bagpipes is displayed in pretty accurate sound effects (SZKWACK PWEERP) as well as Porkypine's recognition of a Dudelsak. In reality spelled slightly differently, the Dudelsack was once the most widespread bagpipe in use in Europe. Becoming almost extinct, the Dudelsack today has many players . . . including Pogo!

I love all permutations of the wailing bladder tubes, but my personal favorite is the uilleann pipes. Aso to the posted, I personally love Kelly's brazen tendencies to have nice Sunday crowds.
ReplyDeleteI am in a chorus here at work. We meet every friday to practice. Our practices aren't nearly as well drawn as this (though perhaps a bit more musical).
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff as per usual.
