In honor of Les Paul’s 96th Birthday, and the incredibly cool logo Google did to go with it, here’s a 2-page comic I did that was part of a Les Paul museum exhibit a few years back.
It’s based on his account of his accidental near-electrocution, which is a very real danger for electric guitar players. It’s easy enough to remedy nowadays. You just need to plug your equipent into a jack that has surge protection. Electrocution by guitar claimed the life of Keith Relf of The Yardbirds back in the seventies.
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen from anybody in a quite a while.
