In the last post, we saw the band HAMMER was in a sticky wicket of allergic reactions due to an overly moldy rehearsal space.

In fact it was so bad that poor Cubbie needed to exit immediately for
home to take a possibly large dose of Benedryl. However his poor swollen eyes couldn’t see the proper exit and instead opened “The Door that Shall Remain Closed.”

Practice Schmacktice- Part 6 - Hammer Stories

When we last checked in Hammer had some friends stopping by to watch the band rehearse. The timid June and her adventurous pals were about to descend into the basement of the ominous Philo House. Click below if you need to review last week’s cartoon before jumping further down…

We now see the unfortunate result of opening that door.

It seems like the band is in deep, dire trouble now! Not only were they suckered into a toxic practice space, but it looks like they were sucked into a wormhole to destinations unknown. You’d think that Bertrum and Ernest would warn renters about this sucky situation!

What will happen to Hammer? Will the band still be able to make their big gig at the local bar known as The Connection? Or were they all spaghettified1 by being sucked into a black hole powered vortex?

Stay tuned! All these questions and more will be answered in the next installment of “Practice Schmacktice!”2

spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect) is the vertical stretching, horizontal compression and tearing apart of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti), and then into atoms, in a very strong gravitational field. Which kinda sucks if it were to happen to you.

It’ll be a couple weeks before I can continue this story. But I’ll be running plenty of other comics in the meantime as I create part two of this story arc. Hopefully that’ll keep you entertained while all this work sucks the life out of me.

This week is an exception since I figured your email inboxes are probably getting flooded with Father’s Day and then Juneteenth emails. I didn’t want be a suckwad and intrude upon those Holidays.
