East Berlin Tchaikovsky Telephone Joke
EAST BERLIN, 1971 ALEXEI, PLAY TCHAIKOVSKY
A four-panel comic set in East Berlin in 1971 shows a woman asking Alexei to play Tchaikovsky. Alexei appears to activate a telephone-like device, while the woman ultimately plays music herself using an absurd homemade contraption. The joke comes from treating a request to play classical music as an elaborate, surreal mechanical task.
