Round 26 has endedThe Mad House Glads are multiple persons, but I've let that slide before (there were enough other options for people to pick and I don't think anybody else would have mentioned any of the specific members)
I saw Shadowman mentioned and thought, wait, wasn't it Night Man (Malibu Comics) who was a saxophonist? Turns out both were.
Characters I had expected to seeJosie and Dazzler were in my Top Three, the other character: Cacofonix the Bard from Asterix
Other characters I had expected to see:
John Constantine was a member of a punk band and the band members appeared at various points in his solo-series. Like most of John's friends and colleagues, it didn't end well for most of them.
Throw a rock in the comic book Scott Pilgrim and you have a good chance to hit a musician, including Scott himself, who is a bassist.
And of course, there was Captain Marvel's nemesis, not Mr. Mind or Doctor Sivana, but Mr. Banjo!
Other possibilities that I wasn't really expecting:
Orpheus, the son of Dream, was perhaps the greatest musician of all time.
Drax the Destroyer was once the saxophone player Arthur Douglas.
The version of Gwen Stacy who became her world's Spider-Woman (later Ghost Spider) is a drummer for her band.
Burnout from Gen13 was a guitarist. A guitarist of questionable talent in many appearances though.
As for manga, there are multiple mangas about bands and musicians, like Beck or Bocchi the Rock, so basically anybody from those two.
Also in manga in the Sci-fi Western Trigun (later Trigun Maximum), Midvalley the Hornfreak was a saxophone playing assassin.
And there are some where I was doubting myself. I'd have accepted them from others, but wouldn't have the confidence myself to use them as answer:
Basically any character in The Wicked and the Divine and Phonogram: both series very inspired by music and where music is a big part, but I don't think any of the main characters were musicians themselves (the Gods in Wicked and Divine look like they are giving a concert, but their power is not exactly music? Or it may be?)
Rak Shade, the Changing Man, was a poet, but I'm unsure if I ever saw him perform to music.
Thorgal is a skald, a Norse bard. But Skalds do not exactly need to have performed to music, they could also be storytellers and that seems to fit him more?

Round 27: Babbling Beasts! Name One character who is a talking animal.Example: Jolly JomperChallenge specific rules or clarifications1a: Yes, humans are animals. They do not count for this round though, because then the question would have been name a non-mute character.
1b: As many comics tend to play with whether the animal is actual talking or just thinking to themselves. As long as there is a speech bubble or thought bubble containing actual words coming from the animal, they count.
