I'm amazed by this. Honest.

I admit being totally out of touch with popular culture, and never heard of that comic.

But I'd have thought that Hank Mobley's name recognition was practically zero. Outside a certain narrow circle, of course. 🙄

Maybe ‘The Simpson’s’ next?  After all, Jackie Mac has been on it..

Who was the idiot that posted the comment underneath?? That is a true WTF if I ever saw one.

If one regularly reads comment fields on Internet posts (I prefer to ignore them), the idiots and WTF moments are (in effect) infinite... 🤮

Wasn't there a Peanuts where Charlie Brown name-checked a jazz star? I don't think it was Schroeder.

Proof that nothing on the internet is free from comment-section idiocy...

I remember Billy in the Family Circus mentioned Dick Hyman in a cartoon about his father’s piano playing.

I met Bil Keane at the Atlanta Jazz Party one year. He was a big swing fan.

I recall a Family Circus in which one of the young brood informs a sibling that Dad is listening to "Big Spider Beck."

Yes, but the replies to his comment took him to town.

I recall that one as well. I don't know if Keane's son inherited his dad's love for jazz. I haven't seen Family Circus much since we dropped the local newspaper back around 2015.
