Have We Got A Video? Wayne: I'm really excited about this new full band video from the gig in November. / Chicken: What full band? The drummer is always away on tour... / Chicken: ... the bassist would rather play bebop and the guy on accordion lives in France. / Wayne: It's a start. / Chicken: Lucky they videoed it. / [Click...
To Be Exact H: So, you've been doing this comic for a year now. / H: How do you feel? / Wayne [stares at ground] / Wayne: Older.
Once Upon A Time H: Wayne has gone to the pub in search of inspiration. I think that's what he said. / H: He said if he wasn't back to tell you a story. / H [looks to right] / H: So...
Ragging The Classics H: New York, 1918. / H: A piano player named George Cobb bets his friend he can turn anything into ragtime. / H: "Alright," says his friend. / H: "Give us a bit of Rachmaninoff. Prelude in C# minor. In ragtime."
Russian Rag H: So, Cobb went over to the piano, sat down, and played a ragtime version of Rachmaninoff's Prelude. / H: What he played was later published as 'The Russian Rag', a favourite of novelty pianists to this day. / H: As he walked back to his friend, Cobb paled, as at once he recognised none other than...
 
You'll Need A Flyer [H looks to right] / [H looks to left]: Wayne's still not back from the pub, and there's a gig tomorrow night at Gramaphone. / [H looks at you] / [H looks to left again]: Maybe I should say something...
It Was A Good Gig Wayne: I'd like to thank both the people who came to see me at the Gramaphone last night. / Chicken: You already did a 'both people' gag. / Chicken: Maybe more people would come to your gigs if you actually publicised them in a timely manner. / Wayne: So you're saying that sending a few texts on the...
DJ Drama Is Innocent Wayne: The RIAA have had hip-hop artist DJ Drama arrested for making mixtapes. / Wayne [glares at ground] / Wayne: Soon they'll arrest some guitarist for using a pentatonic scale over a blues progression. / Wayne: Fuck.
Tom Is My Friend Wayne: I got my two thousandth myspace friend this weekend. Yay! / Chicken: That's great, Wayne. / Chicken: But how many of those 'friends' are other bands, or soft porn models, or fashion design houses, or studios... / Chicken: ... or joke accounts for famous dead people, or fictional characters,...
I Am Not Stressed H: It's possible that Wayne is a bit on the stressed side at the moment, for some reason. / [H looks to his right] / [H looks up in the air] / H [looking to his left]: I didn't know you could tune a guitar that way.
 
I'm Sorry H: Wayne would like to apologise for not being able to draw a new comic today. / H: And for having already done this gag. / [H looks to his right] / H: And for thinking there's such a thing as an 'I've already done this gag' gag.
No Joke [H looks to the left] / [H looks to the right] / [H looks up] / [H looks straight ahead]
She's Nuts H: I think Wayne is trying to cheer himself up by making himself a nice meal. / H: But I don't think the cooking is going very well. / [H looks to the right] / H: Unless he means something else by "that fucking bunny boiler."
Real Soon [H looks to the right] / H: I'm sure he'll be back soon. / [H looks to the right] / [H looks straight ahead]
Time Is On My Side Wayne: I'm really looking forward to the gig at The Perseverance this coming Friday. / H: Is that why you've been practising piano so much? / Chicken: No, he'll be playing the guitar on Friday... / Chicken: Which he hasn't actually touched since the last gig.
 
One I Tossed Off Earlier Wayne: It's time to ask the age-old question: does sex before a gig affect your performance? / Chicken: What does that have to do with you, Wayne? You've been single for five years now... / [Wayne looks down sheepishly] / Chicken: Oh.
Pianist Envy Chicken: So, you're talking about masturbation rather than sex, then. Ok. / Chicken: I don't know whether it affects your performance at gigs. / Chicken: But it might explain one thing about your piano playing... / Chicken: After all, your right hand is much stronger than your left...
It Was A Different Two Each Time Wayne: Thanks to both of you who came to see me play on Friday night. / Chicken: Isn't that the third time in a row you've only brought two to a gig... / Wayne: Yeah, but this time was worse. / Chicken: How so? / Wayne: There were three of us on stage...
At Least I'm Not An Abstract Expressionist H: So what are you doing for Saint Valentine's day, Wayne? / Wayne: I'll probably just drink until I can't remember what day it is. / H: But you do that every day... / Chicken: He's a romantic. Every day is like Valentine's day to him.
Free Rootkit With Every CD Wayne: The BBC is reporting that a majority of music industry execs think DRM is bad for business. / Wayne: They also say they'll keep using it, though. / Wayne: In other news, a majority of motor trade execs voted to keep the wheel, / Wayne: And a majority of cheese-makers voted against putting little...
 
A Lesson Is Learned Wayne: Bhu... whu... / H: Wayne? What's up? / Wayne: Gnn... / Chicken: He just found out that Tom Waits is in fact teetotal... / H: Also more successful... / Chicken: No shit.
Club, Member, Etc... H: Wayne can't make it again today, as he has to rush and meet some girl... / H: I hope she isn't as mad as the last one. / [H looks to his left] / H: Mind you, she has agreed to meet him...
You Couldn't Make It Up Wayne: Morrissey will have 'no involvement' in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, the BBC says... / [Wayne looks down] / Wayne: Also, Robbie Williams will not be presenting Newsnight this year... / Wayne: ... and Slayer are 'unlikely' to be commissioned to write music for the next series of Teletubbies. / [Comic...
Longer, Actually Wayne: God, but I'm hungover... / Chicken: I'm not surprised. You've been totally shitfaced every night for the past six months or so. / Wayne: God. / Wayne: Did I do anything stupid? / Chicken: Duh...
Not An Actual Photo Great Gigs I Have Been To #1: The Bishops, The 100 Club, 27th Feb 2007 / Wayne: I will never drink again. I swear I was seeing double. / Chicken: You do know they're twins, right?
 
Fancy Sitting In? H: Wayne has left me in the lurch again as he is busy trying to track down an emergency bassist and horn player for tonight's gig. / H: It's probably a bit late now. / [H looks to his left] / H: By the way, you don't really need the flyer. Just say you've come to see him. That counts too...
Those Who Can, Do Wayne: I've just had the most scary musical experience of my life... / Chicken: What happened? Did you have to sight-read jazz?* / Chicken: Improvise solo bass guitar in front of two thousand people?* / Wayne: No. I had to give a guitar lesson to a nine year old. / Chicken: Ah. Tough audience. / [Bottom...
Out Soon... H: Looks like Wayne has left me in the lurch once again... / H: He says he's busy trying to get the CD finished. / H: They do say you should take a break between recording and the final mix. / H: Six months ought to be enough...
Joke's On Me H: Wayne would like to remind everyone coming on Sunday that he will only be playing a very short set. / H: However, all the acts were great last time he went so it should be worth going to... / H: Er, now put joke in? / Wayne [off]: You were not supposed to read that out. / H [looking to his left]:...
The Curve Goes Up H: The mathematics of Wayne's gigs are a bit strange. / H: Normally, it's three or four pounds to get in, he plays a full set, and a few people turn up. / H: Last night, it was free to get in, he only played four songs, and fifteen people showed up. / H: Maybe at the next gig he should pay people...
