Petey sure has serious anxiety issues when it comes to chewing his arm.

I really don’t think Petey’s being out of line here; I just might consider chewing my arm off if I was informed I’m being hijacked to someplace called Geek’s Neck.

Y’know, Petey, the chewing-your-arm off thing only works if it’s the arm that is physically caught in the trap. If your arm is not caught in a trap, chewing it off will only result in you being stuck in Geek’s Neck with one fewer arm.

Pop, I hope you remember the garage door isn’t shut.

When I was younger I’d chew on my tongue when I was nervous or upset. Mum always gave me fits about having gum in my mouth. Which simply made me more nervous and upset.

Hope they aren’t going to the Carolina’s.Be safe ;)

Stick him a storage tub and get going.

Now Petey, would a picky eater really chew his arm off?

You have to go to the bathroom already?!

Have a nephew who used to suck on his arm. Always in one spot. Had a gruesome looking bruise all the time. My sister was being questioned about this from a critical lady. “And just how did he get that terrible bruise?”

“Oh, just give him a minute, you’ll see.”

The garage door does not appear any lower in the last panel than it did in the middle one. I think Dad forgot to press the ‘close’ button.

Ohh. The ill-fated Geek’s Neck vacation! Petey has the right idea. Mr. Otterloop, turn this van around!
