Mar 14, 2009 09:06 pm I remember seeing that at one of the bigger rental places here in the 80's. That is as funny and informative now as it was then. Funnier now though thinking back to the guys that did some of those things.

6. Keep dust, dirt, cola, beer, popcorn, dead mice, etc. out of the throat of high frequency horn. They present an increased load on the driver and significantly reduce high frequency output.
Dead Mice. Now that's freaking funny!
Mar 15, 2009 08:00 am The artist sorta reminded me of a sloppy version of Sergio Aragones from the old MAD magazines. Anybody else see that?
Dating myself again.
Mar 15, 2009 05:11 pm Ya, Herb. I kinda see that now that you mention it.
Power of suggestion?
Mar 15, 2009 05:13 pm I did see that. I thought it was more like Gary Larson.
Similar to the "Raymond's last day behind the sound board" Where he's turning up the suck knob.
Mar 15, 2009 07:20 pm ahhh yes, good old Raymond. There was another on in pro sound news years back that had PAs, and it was like what the sound guy wanted, what the promoter could afford, what the band thought was kool, and what the venue actually needed, (was sound on a stick) I havent seen that one in years...
Mar 15, 2009 07:32 pm Ah man. I was looking for that cartoon. I couldn't find it. But I loved that one.
My favorite part of it, was What the band thought would look cool. Because when we stack Floodlight, It looks like the cartoon. A giant pyramid. I'll have to look around some more to find that one.
Mar 15, 2009 08:06 pm I think it might be a bit like that guys on stage, but it does still resemble the old Mad cartoon's from the guy Herb mentioned. I went looking for a couple quickly and didn't see anything. I think I still have some Vintage Mad out in the Garage. If I find em I'll scan a couple of his drawings.
And hell ya, the suck knob indeed!
Mar 16, 2009 11:55 am Ah Sergio, he drew the GROO comics as well :) Now I'm dating myself and admitting I was a comic dork :)
Mar 16, 2009 05:54 pm Nothing wrong with being a comic dork at all now Tripps.
