I applaud Brad here. Trying to teach his teenage sister to drive “stick.” GOOD for Him!
Brad taught Luann many things about cars. Like how to change a tire, for instance.
And THAT “talent” will come in very handy one day in the distant future when Luann is on a “date” with this “Gentle Giant Jock Guy,” Who doesn’t even know how to change a tire, but a whole bunch of “folks” THINK Luann should “BE With” even though he hasn’t even BOTHERED to ask her OUT again in almost Six months. GO Figure……., ;)
I realize that this is a comic strip and that you’re not supposed to look at the details too closely, and I do get the joke, but there seems to be a contradiction in it. If you have an automatic transmission, it has to be in either park or neutral when you start the car, but if you have a manual transmission it doesn’t matter if it’s already in gear (reverse in this case), so long as you’re pressing the clutch. So, in panel 6 it seems to be an automatic transmission, but in panel 7 it’s obviously a manual transmission.
