This week, Up on the Sun cartoonist Robbie Pfeffer offers a tongue-in-cheek, hypothetical scenario: that M-Bone's killer is caught, brought to trial, and offers the defense that he was driven crazy by Cali Swag's infectiously catchy hit, "Teach Me How to Dougie."
This is an unimaginably tough time for M-Bone's family, friends, and fans, who are preparing for the 22 year-old late rapper's funeral. Some might say it's too soon to crack any kinds of jokes, but others also say, "Laughter is the best medicine" -- especially when something so seemingly senseless happens, and people find themselves scratching their heads and asking "Why?"
So with condolences to M-Bone's family, we bring you this week's Noise Complaint.

There's a place in Phoenix that embodies this attitude, without knowing or caring that they do. Read on for Pfeffer's advice on what wannabe hipsters can learn from The Bikini Lounge.
