I feel like I'm going to get some more hate from drummers for this one. Just let it be known that I don't really hate Joey Jordison or Travis Barker, or do I think that they have no talent. They're both good at what they do. I just think it's funny that virtually every drummer these days points to one (or both) of them as the greatest drummer ever. There are so many other great drummers out there (...like this guy I know, Woody Fucking Bond. What a great guy.). But what do I know? I just pluck strings and make funny faces when I play like a re-re.
I did seven panels on this page, which is at least two more than I normally do. I'm not sure why I did this, I probably could have made it work using five. I must have gone mad or something. And because there are more panels on this page that left me with less room to establish a setting. Oh well. I'll try to not be such a terrible storyteller next time, I swear.
In other news, my band did that weekend mini-tour-but-not-really-a-tour thing and it was pretty rad. We had the show on Thursday in Ybor (which went over really well), hung out at the beach in Fernandina/Jacksonville on Friday (and played an epic game of Ultimate Werewolf that night), then headed up to Greensboro, NC for a spectacular show on Saturday (followed by Cook Out, which is amazing). The whole time we were hanging out with our new buds in Corporate Fandango. Check them out, they're great!
It was a pretty fun weekend getaway, except for some car problems on the way back. That was pretty terrible, but all in all we had a good time. I'm sure I'll get into that later, either in blog or comic form. So stay tuned.
Thanks for reading!

This is one of my favorite webcomics. Every update feels relevant, and this picking on drummers makes me thankful that my drummer is good. On a side note, if I meet a drummer that hasn’t at least heard of buddy rich I don’t consider them a real drummer.
Thank you for the kind words! I’ve had some bad drummers in my time, so that’s where a lot of this comes from. Somewhere down the road though, the band is going to get a good drummer. Maybe
