The car I drove was an '80, because I remember the square headlights. It would have actually been about a year old when I took my test. It was exactly the color of the car in the pic. Coffee creamer tan.

And there's nothing at all phallic about that makeup......

Not super new, but enjoying this quite a bit. I have most of the Black Keys albums, but none of Dan's solo material til this.

I took a driver's re-test today, which is required in my state after my recent medical issues. I passed, but I'm surprised at how nervous I was. I mean, the last time I took a test with an instructor in the car, it was in one of these:

Quebec is the only one I've actually been to. It is a remarkable place .

Best I ever saw was in Albuquerque a few years ago. It was a "Vote Goldwater" sticker, and it was on a 1960 Olds.

That's a very good school. I nearly went there, but couldn't afford it. Same for the University of South Carolina. (also a great theater arts school)

The school of the arts?

The "4th Wall Door" is classic too.

Ooh I like this!

I didn't tell anyone, really. I just wasn't ready.

This still puts a smile on my face after all these years. Legendary animator Bud Lucky at his best. 🙂

This is my favorite strip of yours! Jazz's look of concern still kills me. 😆

With a name like "Charmera", I keep expecting you to battle it and have it evolve, eventually becoming a 30 megapixel Olympus .

It's okay, just find some giant franks to go with! 😉

Sierra Mist I could deal with. "Starry" sounds like one of those little bottles of cheap booze you find empty in the alley behind the liquor store...

Ever get the feeling there's a giant ketchup bottle photo-bombing you?

I can never un-see this......

"Reindeer Season" approaches. My first gig is in exactly two weeks! Time to buy extra red-nose batteries...
