Jason, that’s why you need your grandma driving instead – she learned back when cars didn’t have safety devices, and brakes and lights were often iffy. Just make sure you wear your seatbelt – she certainly will. :-D
Andy should play Mario Kart with him a few times, so she can out-do his comments in the car. “Well, you know when we get too far ahead, we don’t get any of the good power-ups. I’m waiting to get a star!”
I’ve managed to get my parents to play MarioKart once or twice. It was quite amusing. The funniest family video game memory, though, is from a cheesy skiing one with both my parents playing at the same time. The controls were finicky, and poor Dad kept tumbling head over heels while Mom really got into the spirit of the thing—and trying to knock him over, lol

When you get home, Andy, better confiscate Jason’s “Momio Kart” and other video games (as well as the game console).

I’d have slapped a strip of duck tape over his mouth. And fastened him into the back seat.

When that mechanic tried to sell her a passenger muffler for the car, she really should have bought it.

I used to be obsessed with Mario Kart. {9/10} Keep coming up with good ideas, Bill.

Good on Andy for finding a way to make driving to school more fun for Jason. I like it!

Some folks do drive like they are in a video game.

Jason Fox proves why the ‘metaverse’ is a terrible idea.

I love Mario Cart!! Ha! What a fun comic today. :D

I think Andy has little imagination. Playing along doesn’t mean she literally has to do what Jason says, just pretending like she did.

Jason is always role-playing movies. This should have been the strip for the weekend F9 was released.

My kids are now all better than I am at Mario Kart. Well, the youngest still has a little ways to go, but I’m sure she’ll be there soon.

Andy, just be grateful he doesn’t play “Grand Theft Auto”…
