The rules are simple:

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I’ve been tempted recently to pick up a pocket trumpet to pick up my skull from high school. I’m always just worried about annoying the neighbors lol.
Are you absolutely certain this isn't a weird euphemism for masturbation? Because it sure seems like one!
Were you in a very faithful production of Hamlet or did you just collect bones? 🤔
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him.
Do it! Just get a mute and play. Playing an instrument is a lifelong joy.
I recently picked my guitar back up for the first time in like 15 years. I still remember what I learned! Not that I was ever good, but you don't need to be good to have fun.
Hell yeah! Just knowing a handful of chords is enough to impress people at a party 😁 I'm slightly more ambitious than that, but any reason to play an instrument is a good one.
Yes. It would be good to play regularly without, though. And at serious volumes, too. But playing an instrument is great in any case. And trumpets mute really well. A flute like in the comic, for example, doesn't unless you box the whole thing somehow.
I really like the Yamaha silent brass system, too. It's stupidly expensive, but works nicely and the headphones are a neat option.
There are some digital breath controllers out there that can be used to play any virtual instrument. If I played any brass or woodwind I'd definitely check it out.
Just use a mute!
I saw nuke at first lmao
A nuke would also prevent their neighbors from being annoyed
Haha! Why?!
