If this were an animated cartoon, there would be much "Mickey Mousing" from panel 4 on...

I would love to know how there was a piano at the top of the ladder! lol There's been some nice slapstick throughout this scene! :D

Uhm... Perhaps they have a forklift that can reach veeeerrry high? ;-)

And thank you, good to know that even those early pages (surely you know how it is looking at one's own old art) already were effective in conveying things like e.g. slapstick!

Hahahaha!!
How did you find this old page!? :-D

I guess a large part of the appeal is the old trope oft tumbling musical instruments sounding as if someone is playing them very dissonantly.

BTW, in this video someone actually tries that out in real life, and his verdict is: "...and pianos, when you drop them, they just splat."
(Once again, reality is quite the party pooper! Boo!)
