I had a Toyota Corolla that overheated and warped the alloy head… This meant replacing the head-gasket ever 1 – 2 months… My girlfriend watched me resetting the tappets and became even better at resetting them than I ever was… She had that feminine-touch… Jeez I miss her…
I think the racoon thinks these kids are poaching on his territory. By the way, I learned today that Germans call these animals ‘Washing Bears’. Seems appropriate to me.
If you’ve spent any time hiking or camping in national forests, you’ll know it’s not uncommon to come across ancient abandoned vehicles of one kind or another. It’s actually kind of exciting when you do.

The raccoon feels the same as Amelia. Actually, being a strange child, I would have loved it.

Amelia, think of used automotive grease as adult ketchup. Then go wild.

Amelia is not a future gear head. Me. I’d be looking for old enough stuff so I could show how to gap plugs and points!

Raccoon, or junkyard dog?

Apparently, the seagull decided to pass on the adventure. Perhaps it knew about the raccoon.

Love this so much, Amelia playing marbles and all their comments in panel 3. You get used to it, classic!

I prefer exploring old sheds with dismembered body parts piled behind them.
And, Cthulhu menacingly hiding in the bushes.

Sorry Amelia but you did choose to go so no sympathy here

Looks like the seagull decided not to go to the swamp

If I was a parent, I’d be a little concerned about the “great swamp” part…unless that is a nickname or exaggeration.

I can’t believe that Spud hasn’t seen the racoon & started to panic yet.

Is Amelia playing marbles? Is Gull playing?

The seagull isn’t a gearhead either.

Amelia seems to be playing marbles with Seagull…?
