This. The problem is that this meta tag in your : needs to be this: . The ‘maximum-scale’ and ‘user-scalable’ options prevent zooming, which is detrimental to the user experience and accessibility.
As a professional trombone player, I approve this comic.
And as a current bagpipe student… Yeah. What PINK Floyd said. The classes are painful enough, when it’s a group of adults actually being coached. Part of the trouble is that practice chanters aren’t a standardized length, so you’ll get 3 or 4 different pitches at the same time even when everyone is playing the right note. And when we bring out the actual bagpipes, they are just so incredibly difficult to get functioning to begin with, and we’re indoors, and as much as I adore and enjoy and love the instrument (yes, truly!), the classes can indeed be rather excruciating!
As someone who has suffered through really bad drum circles that will not stop their horrible noise making at conventions, yes, you CAN go wrong with bongos.
Oh yay! I hadn’t been able to visit your site from work in the previous weeks, maybe couple of months but now that you’ve changed it, I can see from work again.
My mom (a percussionist) once complained, “You can’t jam with a bagpiper in your camp, you have to jam with the bagpiper several camps over”.
But would that hold true with a trombone player? They have mutes, right?
i just have a minute, but had to say I love today’s comic. The artwork is well done, so perfectly suited to the text. (But I have to highlight this as I type to read what I’ve written.)
Ah, yes, the infamous F chord. If you’re having trouble mastering it, try switching to a traditional ukulele. The F chord is one of the easier chords to play on a soprano or concert ukulele.
Can we get the little avatars next to our names back? It’s hard to tell who’s who without them.
Who said that?!
Hello, I am mister Mahnarch. I am commenting on this comic strip.
I can’t zoom in on the comic any more, makes it harder to read on mobile.

Oops! Apparently the comment system strips out tags rather than encoding them. That’s all right.
Basically, follow the advice of the article I linked (since I can’t show you the html tags directly).
May you could encode < > as HTML entities: “& lt ;” etc.?
This comment wrapping looks ridiculous. And… do we have a security issue here? alert(“Yes, we do!”);
We don’t. Good. 🙂
Maybe redo the bootstrap. That always works for me.
Can you imagine an impromptu Bagpipe circle? Oy!

Hey! As a bonus of the new site layout we (PC users, anyway) can see the entire YouTube field, now!
Yes! PC master race FTW!
I don’t get the Matthew McConaughey reference. Help?

Thank you! 🙂

Irish bagpipes are so much better . . .I think the Scottish ones were just a joke that got out of hand.
I have to say, I really HATE it when my thing falls out. 😛

The thing about bagpipes is that, no matter what other instruments are on the stage, or how many, the bagpipe always wins.

Thanks! And we will be fixing the gray text in the comments section (along with many other things) very soon.

Now, the ukulele’s E chord, on the other hand…
