Comic #467

By /

June briefly mentioned being a trombonist way back in her canon-not-canon interview– looks like she was being serious! Though something tells me she only practiced it so she could go ‘bwwaaAAHH’ in people’s faces at inappropriate times.

Also, as a bass clarinetist I can confirm that Maxx was right and that the bass clarinet is the best instrument ever invented.

        look at the drink in June’s hand, that isn’t an ale mug, and a tom collins is in a tall skinny glass and looks yellow, like what June is holding!

        Yes I am still alive. Im still waiting for that site in which you customize your avatar. It won’t load on my corrupt computer.

      9. FCtheHalfDragon

        And that is why it won’t load. A corrupt computer always screws everything up. It might have sounded like you chose the darkness, but instead all you did was screw yourself over. Here, have a regular computer so things will load faster. Corrupt computers hate everyone anyway.

        Correct, you haven’t been mentioned. Because I STABBED YOU WITH MY VAMPIRE KNIVES, YOU WITCH!!! Huff, huff, huff, huff, sorry, need to calm down.

      10. Waiting for LunarUodate...

        I’ve a Chain Gun, Beetle Armor, and Razorpine, wanna bet your life on whose instrument is the best?

      11. Anonymous

        That is quite possibly the worst combination of melee armor, a gun and a magic weapon ever.

      14. xX$Halo Fortress 2 Cod-off V76$Xx

        Oh please, you have no chance against Shivers the Frost Hydra, my Possessed Hat(chet), my Vampire Knives, my Flairon, my North Pole, my MENACING Ankh Shield plus my WARDING Magma gauntlet and my MENACING Warrior’s emblem with my WARDING Charm of myths, and my MENACING Fishron wings, and my Beetle Armor, defensive OR offensive set, still will eat your chain gun and spit out 10 Iron bars, and shove your razorpine RIGHT DOWN YOUR THROAT. Also I prefer TF2 to CoD, Halo, and GoW.

        Happy New Year!

      15. bmrjw

        Dude, Scourge of the Corruptor is FAR better than the Vampire Knives. Maybe not in PVP, but against normal enemies, everything dies in a matter of seconds. Literally every non-boss mob on the screen is dead in less than a minute. It’s great.

        Also, why the heck do you still have a warrior emblem? That’s like a hardmode noob accessory.

      16. Twister

        If only I had a blizzard staff to accompany my weapons. Bah, you’d best have an avenger emblem if you’d use an emblem at all.

        Well, my MENACING Celestial Emblem is sure to help out my WARDING Magic Cuffs, WARDING Hoverboard, and WARDING Celestial Stone. Oh, and my ARMORED Paladin’s Shield. Blizzard Staff, can I trade my Snowman Cannon– Oh wait. I have a Snowman Cannon.

        FEEL THY WRATH OF THY IV ROCKETS!!!

        Anyways, I suck at PVP, cuz of some reason.
        Crap. Oh well, Happy New Years.

      17. xX$halo_fortress2_codof_gearsoffish$Xx

        It actually makes more of a difference when the weapons start getting stronger. It can boost it by a pretty sane amount when you have other buffs, like offensive beetle armor and fire gauntlets. And think of it this way: a menacing warrior’s emblem is better for a melee only user than the avenger emblem. so look it up before you screw it up, bro.

        Still a new year that I want to be happy!

      18. Twister

        I’m a Mage. Does that say anything? I also have the Beetle armor (Tank) along with Tiki armor, and the two versions of Spectre head items (mask, hood) along with Spectre armor. I am a Mage, but I just want the defense that Spectre armor doesn’t give. And that’s a lot. If I screw up again, well, hurl me like a madman in PVP.
        I’ll porbably lose, somehow.

      19. Bantya

        So we’re comparing terraria equipment now? I’ve played it for 2203 hours. I have beaten every aspect of the game with every conceivable combination of equipment, and best of all, I legitimately got an enchanted sword, the rarest weapon in the game.
        Also, I have 6 current endgame characters (I delete most of them after beating duke fishron) that are: Tank melee, rocket ranged, bullet ranged, misc ranged, damage magic, and healing magic, each with the best equipment possible.

      21. FearPorygon

        First off, the Arkhalis is rarer than the Enchanted Sword. Second, LAST PRISM TO YOUR HEART DIFFKEKIGIHKGGKFOCIDGJKBIDSKDKBIVKDKDOVF.

        Hi!

      24. The Fake Anon

        Lol I play on IOS and I have about 120 greater healing pots. And full Dragon Armor with a Terra Blade

      25. The Fake Anon

        And 2 other freinds one with a Unreal MegaShark with Explosive Bullets and full Shroomerite. The other has full Spectral (not spectre), a Rainbow Rod that does about 90 damage, Terra Blade, Sniper rifle, Golden Shower, and of course a Magnet Sphere, and a 80 damage Flower of Fire.

        PS. I also have a Sniper Rifle

      1. TerrariaPro

        Yes this is the kind of thought invoking constructive criticism that Jesse hopes to see here I mean this is almost worse that that “first” crud

      2. FCtheHalfDragon

        Your all wrong. A BASS CANNON is the best. Why? It is weaponized music, just like the Magical Harp

  6. PixelCrusher10

    NIETHER IS RIGHT……THE BETTER INSTRUMENT IS………DA PIANO/KEYBORD!…..im only sayong this since i havent played the tronbone or clarinet

  7. Astrid16

    Naawww. I’d have to say that the best instrument ever invented was either the violin or…hmm. That one used in Lord of the Rings. What’s it called? Alto-flute?

    I can’t imagine June playing trombone. The again, she does’t seem like the type to go skipping in fields of poppies with an ocarina, either.

    I’m trying to understand what Cyril was saying. Did he mean that Maxx was treating him like a dog, or am I on the wrong track? EMB, help me out.

    3. Cobra

      ocarina of time is better… and the guitar… cuz sonic used a guitar…. and link used an ocarina….

  13. rebornparagon

    As someone who uses the clarinet in his band at school, I can confirm that the Bass Clarinet is the greatest instrument ever invented. Im not serious btw its not that great.

  14. NeoWarrior

    The best instrument ever created is the human body.

    No other instrument matters if you don’t know how to operate THAT instrument!

  20. Squideer

    You guys have it all wrong, The best instrument is the Ocarina. What else can control the passage of time?

    1. HappyDittoz

      Dialga? (Who actually has a timeshift stone in its chest. Your mind is blown.) but I do agree, the ocarina is pretty amazing.

    2. Zekrua

      Heck yeah. Since I have one, I can shift time forward to the final hours and watch the moon clash with the earth. Muahahahahaha!
      Plus, being able to troll someone then get their mask is pretty dang awesome too.
      Oh, and don’t forget being able to make anyone fall asleep or wake up! And make the mute talk! And be able to travel from home to my favorite restaurant and back at any time! Oh, and let’s not forget being able to teleport to ANY of the dungeons in OoT!(Oh, and also, a plot twist for Ocarina of Time: Sheik is an angel. :P)

      4. Squideer

        Nobody’s ever really questioned the fact why Sheik’s eye are red, Meanwhile Zelda’s are Blue.

        I can understand something like Contact Lens could have been used, But still…

      1. beast_

        Eh. Violin, piano, guitar, triangle, kazoo.
        All these i can play (but those last 2 require SOOOO much effort)
        Fun fact: In a professional orchestra, triangle players are played just as much as everyone else.
        I know what my top Career choice is now…

  25. skeletronprime

    While we are on the topic of instruments NEVER put mashed potatoes inside June’s trombone… I learned the hard way that’s why I’ve been transformed from a the bunny that appeared in the first comic to an evil skeleton that has four mechanical arms instead of tiny little paws that had sharp little nails, I actually don’t think it made much of a diffrence

  27. Zace

    I’m gonna have to disagree and say that the Sackbut is the best instrument purely because of it’s hilarious name… hehe… Sackbut.

  30. Silmiss

    I was forced to play trombone for my elementary years, so it doesn’t bring back nice memories…
    I’d much rather play the Piano or even the “.mid”

  42. Skeletron

    the best instrument is a flute! I LOVE TO WATCH THE PAIN OF MORTALS AS I BREAK FLUTES OVER THEM! MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
    O_O well that got dark quickly.

    1. titan-d.tristan

      if ye wanna eat show me the darth vader riding a yellow pony on a rainbow while singing the caramelldansen song! MHUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!

  43. titan-d.tristan

    No no no… the best instrument ever is the big bang that created us AND all of creation in the darn univrese! (also other big bangs are fun aswell especially in class rooms)

  47. Terra Blade

    Jesse, everybody is arguing over what is the best instrument when clearly, it’s a mallet. (June would like it, it’s also great for hitting people)

  48. Ironwill233

    Can’t we all agree that instruments each play a differnt sound that cohere with one other . Which then creates differnt style of music , which then causes differnt feelings , which either u like or dislike . Except screaming music , that’s pointless,

    1. bmrjw

      Surely the button that says “reply” doesn’t let me reply to one’s comment.

      I seriously hope you’re trolling.

      1. titan-d.tristan

        So by telling him both you tell him that he’s invisible, he exists and he doesn’t exist in 1 word….

  56. willsp

    I wonder what the goblins will do when they realise “oh crap they saved the tinkerer god help us when he starts quote unquote experimenting again”

    1. Invader mimzell

      Which reminds me,
      List of NPCs maxx STILL didn’t get:
      Stylist,steampunk,cyborg,clothier,wizard,party girl,truffle,pirate,Santa Claus,dye trader,painter,arms dealer(?),and traveling merchant!

  57. Venom 14484

    Lets vote the best Instrument ever is a sword ( nobody ever said it had to be a musical instrument)

  58. Santa Anteater

    Loud-mouthed, always wants to be the center of attention, and overuses the word ‘awesome’? Maxx is definitely not a bass clarinet. thats a prime example of a trumpet player if ive ever seen one.

  59. TheEpicGG

    Im gonna start a thing which is. You choose your own favourite weapon ( from terraria ) and post it who ever says the same one as mine wins ( but you get no prize since I’m poor lolz )

  62. Dark Aeon

    I almost feel bad now because I give none of my NPCs beds. But not bad enough.

    Back to the comic- at least Maxx and Cyril/Guidey had a house. Would Cyril rather sleep outside at night like a good deal of homeless people? No? That’s what I thought.

  67. Krav

    I play bass clarinet as well, and I can’t tell you how hard I laughed when I read this comic, as I have a friend who plays trombone and we jokingly get into this argument all time. Bass clarinet is best.

  70. FCtheHalfDragon

    Screw you all!!! Bass Cannon and/or Magical Harp is best because they weaponize music!!!

      1. John Doe

        Yay! Btw, there’s a clarinet ad in here. And I’ve also seem a trombone ad in this page too. Hm.

  72. Shadow_Mantis

    I think Maxx got the point… and the receiving end of a dirt bat (or what ever June spawned to send Maxx flying).

  79. Triscuit Patio furniture

    I agree clarinets are…
    TOOT-Iful.
    Eh, eh?
    But no, personally I like the pianos complexity.
    Also, listen to the little *twang* noise that is the audio for the Magical Harp. If that harp is enchanted, could it at least make a noise that makes me want to saw both my ears of with a breaker blade?

    1. bmrjw

      There’s a line between video game realism and real life realism. It would be odd to have real harp tunes in a game with techno-ish sounds and music.

  80. Triscuit Patio furniture

    Also, I would have thought Jesse’s favorite would be a Ukelele judging by the lead instrument in ‘Adorable Little Serial Killer.’

  81. Zeratul

    Coming from a Bass Clarinetist…
    YESSSS
    Been a fan of the comics, but this takes the cake. 😀

  84. Matanui3

    Looks like I’m going to have to fight both the author AND his creation.
    Trombones are CLEARLY superior, both in making music and waging war!
