The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 14, 2024

“Yes”.

I’m always amazed at how out of this world Wilberforce is.

9 volt, two of them.

No batteries, just a really long extension cord.

Size J (that’s an actual thing!)

Oh it’s AAA. My parents keep going over the range and often need a tow.

That’s great for you, Hattie. Now you’ll be able to grow up with and EV in your life. A proper question for Wilber would be “Are the batteries lithium, sodium or solid state?”

My batteries are flat, married or not.

First time, in recent memory at least, that I’ve seen Hattie speechless. Good job Wilberforce. I wonder what the chances are of W saying at some point in the future…, “Just call me ‘Will’”.

It’s a Toyota Eveready…

Probably AAA, as in American Automobile Association. You’ll need them for a tow when the battery dies.

Hurricane Hattie is about to commit assault with batteries.

You’re thinking small Wilberforce .

either way it’s gonna eat up a lot of batteries. :J

Wilberforce good material for the Church. Honest Like Dad and Uncle Ted. “Chip” off the old block.

Attaboy………..

Wilberforce thinks they bought a toy car, I believe.

C

So Hurricane, no cross-country trips planned for your family?

Yesterdays news mentioned Tesla had 45,000 unsold cars piling up but is still building them. Ol’ Muskie may realize by joining the Loony Right he’s angering the folks who had been buying his cars.

about 864 cells, of size 18650.

GOOD QUESTION!!

Guess again. Who would have ever thought that this could hi been a comic. However, run this comic down the road in about 7 years and see what you Will get as responses……

Phone batteries. Lots of phone batteries.

An extended family member recently posted a video of a car on fire, the cause of which appeared to be a gas tank explosion. It was captioned to show how dangerous EVs are at all times for everybody who has one. Mindsets can be strange.

Wilberforce may ask next if the batteries are Duracell or Energizer.

My son-in-law has an EV which he lets me drive when we visit. The display screen is so complicated that I need my granddaughters- ages 9 and 7 – to explain it to me!

Get off his case — the kid is six years old. What other kinds of batteries would he be familiar with?
