Dill: What happened? Alice: I don't know... It's all a blur. Dill: What happened? Alice: I think your kiddie car veered off the sidewalk. Dill: What happened? Alice: Then the wheel popped off. Dill: What happened? Alice: They should call this "Deadman's Curve," huh?

Jan and Dean are rolling in their graves, if they’re dead, that is.

Shika Curve? Not familiar with that one. I don’t suppose a song was written about it.

Any kiddie car crash you can walk away from is a good one.

Hey Marg, you are making me go to Google to find out who the hey Jan and Dean are. Who says that comics are not educational?
Ushindi over 15 years ago
Is that a reference to shikamoo, by any chance? Otherwise, I’m lost also.
turtleman: You must be very, very young. I think I hate you, sort of……LOL
Munodi over 15 years ago
Google was no help in explaining “Shika Curve.” “Shika” appears to be a word in some foreign langauge and possibly a name. Please explain.

I wouldn’t hate him. I certainly have no regrets about how old I am, I know Jan & Dean’s music and I’m glad I know it - and all the other great music of the 60’s. As far as I’m concerned, it’s his loss. Shame on his parent’s for not exposing him to what they grew up with - as my parents did with me.

I say Dill should sue. As much and as often as possible.

Greetings, I come from the future. You may be happy to know that Jan & Dean are lauded as musical gods in our times … as is the solo work of Richie Sambora.
kirbey over 15 years ago
I agree with Terry Lonewolf… Dill has been great all week ! Gosh Jan and Dean… haven’t thought about them in years…
ireallycomefromthefuture over 15 years ago
Greetings, I really come from the future. You may be happy to know that Jan & Dean are unheard of and so is Richie Sambora solo work or not.

When Dill’s hair doesn’t connect to his head, as in today’s strip, it freaks me out.
He looks like a radioactive Mr. Magoo…
icomefromthefuture over 15 years ago
Greetings.
So you “really come from the future”?? Not quite. The word “really” is banned in 2017 by the Conquering Chinese and airbrushed out of all correspondence. You could not know to use the word “really” because it has no meaning in the future.
Or maybe you’re lying.
ireallycomefromthefuture over 15 years ago
oh yeah well it seems you used the word really several times in that paragraph and also the word god has been banned as mao se tung’s idea of religion is poison has been put in place
icomefromthefuture over 15 years ago
That is so typical of what someone pretending to be from the future would say.
lazygrazer over 15 years ago
It’s a miracle she wasn’t killed losing a wheel at 1.3 mph!
ireallycomefromthefuture over 15 years ago
Ahum well just go on dillusioning yourself we both know the truth cough cough liar cough cough.

the past was really great, old hippie juice ( boones farm apple wine) was $1.99 a bottle and a nickle bag was a good deal

LOL! You’re a dead man Lonewolf!
Who are Jan and Dean marg? do I have to google them too?
Hello ushini You are familar with Shikamoo? You’ll have to wonder what a Shika Curve is, I’m afraid. LOL But the comic strip says it all.
Doc Which dozen are you refering to?
I love the arms waving every which way! LOL
