No distractions! Face in the distant mountains?

Good Morning Thom and Everyone

Cute face on the hubcap!

No signs, like no speed limit signs? Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably no gas stations by the looks of things either.

And cell phones probably wont work either.

OMG There are FACES everywhere! Let your imagination run WILD!!!!*

I think there would be some sort of state regulation against that - there would have to be highway marker and speed limit signs on a road that major.

But then, this is Cartoon Land, where the overriding rule is “Only When It’s Funny”…

There’s no face on the driver! How would he be able to see the signs anyway? Another face (or two?) in the bushes in the far right corner.

I looked so hard trying to see a face in the grass. Then I read LONEWOLF’s comment and had to admit he was right’. CARMY’s post made me look really hard. Then DRY sent me over the edge and I speed dialed my new shrink. She told me never to call again.

Chill, Lewreader. I’m still hearing the music.

Thom–Are those sunglasses on the driver just above his nose? I don’t see any bright sunshine here.

Faces? I didnt see any faces…Oh wait theres Willy Nelson just under the sign.

No Rest Stop for 200 miles! Sounds like Nevada.

He can just go on the side of the road.

Well, least he can go as fast he he wants, since there will be no sign telling how slow to go.

A stealth lizard face waits where the hill juts out into the road on the left side.

Heck with the faces, the bush by the thought balloon is a lionfish.

Good catch on that one, MisngNOLA.

I don’t know why, but now I have that song “Signs” by the Five Man Electrical Band in my head.

“Signs, signs, nowhere there’s signs Freein’ up the scenery Easin’ my mind.”

rewrite for Grog and the toon.

That’s the way the highway was de-signed….

Well, it wasn’t a very good movie anyway.

uh oh, that’s a bad sign- - that there’s no signs

“No Passing” in the forseeable future.

Face in the mirror? Not that one, the rear view.

@Lewreader, don’t worry. The voices told me you would be all right, once you stop screaming.

If there are no signs, it’s bad–he might have to stop for directions…

By the looks of the road where it disappears, it seems it could drop off at that point and who knows what’s over there.

I think that I shall never see A billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I’ll never see a tree at all.

~Ogden Nash, “Song of the Open Road,” 1933

Uh, Joe, how about signs telling you how far you have to go before you get out of the middle of nowhere to the middle of somewhere? That’s what you usually find on roads like this, at least in North America.

As Eeyore might say to you, “Think of all the possibilities, Joe, before you settle down to enjoy yourself.” Only in Cartoon Land would one find such cruel and unusual punishment as this situation really is (the driver is saying “uh, oh”, for a very good reason).

I hope that doesn’t include signs of intelligence.

No sign of the comments letting up here.

Hi Thom!

At least no one quoted the Five Man Electrical Band.
