Piano in Pocket

Piano in Pocket

Theater Reviewer The Great Plotnik and Film Critic Hanky Girl went to the New Conservatory Theatre last night to see 'Burn This.' Now, TGP understands this Gary Larson cartoon better.

The four cowboys are sitting around the campfire under the stars. One of them turns to the other and says "Say Will, why don't you pull that thing out and play us a tune?" We see that in Will's pants pocket is an enormous grand piano.

Thanks to 'Burn This' and 'Brokeback Mountain,' it is now clear that Gary Larson must be reevaluated in terms of his obvious pro-gay agenda.

In the first place, the man's name is Will.

In the second place, his friend says "Why don't you pull that thing out...," clearly a reference to Will's latent and questionable sexuality.

Thirdly, look at their hats.

Finally, we see that Will's grand piano is huge and black -- the piano clearly being a metaphor for Will's dangerous sexual organ.

How exactly Will got it into his back pocket remains unanswered. Also, what about the pedals?
