Silly rabbit. Recorders are the instruments to learn when you don’t actually want to learn to play an instrument. They don’t teach 4th graders the ukulele.
I played the ukulele back when it was uncool to play the ukulele. I can’t say that the current wave of fad players doesn’t bug the hell outta me, but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that I’ll be clutching my uke when it becomes uncool again!
*ahem*
So… uh… anyway…
Cleo needs to put together a soothing instrumental tribute to Puccini on the ukulele and totally blow Marlene’s mind. (I can assure you, it can be done!)
I’ve been debating taking up an instrument myself. I reckon a 4 string bass would be good. All the bad assery of a guitar and it seems somewhat easy to learn how to use.
Ditch the Ukulele, Cleo, and get a bass guitar! 😀
Right after this comic came out, I learned that my best little freshman baby (I’m a high school junior) taught herself to play the ukelele. And guess what? IT’S SO ADORABLE OMIGOD SO CUTE. At the cast party after our musical she played while two of the best singers sung along. It was the best, cutest thing ever.
I do this comic for free, but if you like it and have a little extra to throw my way, I'd very much appreciate it.

TBQH I think Cleo would be cuter than Miss Palmer. Probably not a better lyricist, though.

I have a friend whose entire fifth grade class was taught to play the ukulele, believe it or not.
I’m glad someone mentioned AFP because yes. GO FORTH CLEO, DO SOME RADIOHEAD COVERS
AUGH CLEO you seriously annoy me sometimes
It’s posts like these that remind me that there’s a little Amanda Palmer in all of us.
Or Brian Viglione. Or both. Whatevs.
Aaahahaha! I just spent like two weeks working on the Ukulele for Dummies book! You crack my shit up.

God DAMMIT stop reading my mind.
I think if Cleo did that at a party she wouldn’t be allowed to anymore parties.
I’m totally with cleo, i want one. four strings man, i can deal with four strings
That’s why I got that fancy kazoo.
Cleo, I will wire you that money.

I am so with you on the anti-vacant eyed cute faced youtube ukulele chicks with violently fervent fan followings.
except molly lewis. Molly lewis is the best.
Cleo is worse than a hipster. She is either a super-hipster or desperately impersonating a hipster. I can’t tell which.
Wait yes I can.
