@JustaJeepGuy- What makes this cartoon funny for me is that this is the way the clipart looks, and it just seemed so odd not to have the detail of strings on the violin. Whether that translates into humor for anyone else, I don't know - but that's my violin case.
@Readers- Nice punmanship above. And yes, there's actually a lot wrong with that violin when you look closely. Which, I assume, we weren't expected to do.
And "thumbs up" for the Jack Benny reference. Benny was one of the greats! And on a barely related note, I once stood in a terminal at DFW airport waiting for my Dad to emerge from the men's room. Nearby was a well-dressed young man holding a violin case. When the men's room door opened, I was surprised to see NOT my Dad, but comedian Henny Youngman. His assistant handed him the precious violin and off they strolled. Okay, it's not a GREAT story, but I tell it quickly.

Is the guy playing the back of his violin or does @Stilt just need better clip art? It's a mystery to me.
Must be a Stradivarious
No need to fret, because there are no strings attached.
Stilt must have spent the weekend fiddling around.
Well it may seem to be splitting a horsehair, but I think Stilton should take a bow for today's cartoon.

Yeah, strange way to 'toon a violin
@Stilt, it also looks like the guy only has the body of the fiddle and is even holding the wrong end of that.
Jack Benny lives. :)

@Stilt, that Henny Youngman story would have gone over perfectly on David Letterman's old "Brush With Greatness" bits.
