And so, our villain arrives in the resort city of Simnenca. The car they are riding around in is a Zaporozhets… which some folks consider to be one of the worst cars ever made. If you think your car has problems, try this… the engine can seize at speed, due to the oil starvation these cars are prone to… or the steering column could collapse when it gets old… it handles awfully, and the panels are generally ill fitting. Also, it probably killed your last dog. Hey, don’t blame me… I’m just the messenger.
Also, just wanted to mention that next week’s strip may be a tad nsfw… I would suggest not viewing it at work.
First-class service to a low-budget experience!
Thanks for the warning, Jerry! I usually don't read your comic at work anyway! 😀
Yeah, I guess as a teacher that may not br practical!
Playground for the wealthy but not for Personal Drivers working on a budget. Looks like the Zaporozhets has seen better days. Or maybe not…
This just may be a typical day for the Zaporozhets!
Ah, Simnenca! Playground for everybody who is somebody. Can't wait to see how Mr. Hasenpferrer fits in.
Mr. Hasenpfeffer gets to run the show, this time… but I don't think he'll have much of n opportunity to enjoy the more playgroundy sort of aspects!
Luckily nothing important, then.
Just a minor issue.. nothing that an engine overhaul couldn't address!
I was watching an old episode of the Simpsons (the one where Homer gets into a lot of trouble over a gummi Venus de Milo!) Anyway, in the episode he said a line that immediately made me think of your current storyline…
"You know how bashful I am — I can't even say the word "titmouse" without giggling like a schoolgirl. [giggles]"
You caught me… I have to admit… that scene was the inspiration for the title. Since some of the Bond movie titles have double entendre sort of names, I thought this would work well!
I really like the bright, vibrant colors in this installment, Jerry!
Thanks, George! I did something a little different with the coloring this week and next… I used the \”Hi-Fi\” coloring method. In a couple of weeks I go back to the flat color way, which I think has become the Bunny Wiggins look!
Jerry, are you talking about the HiFi coloring book with the CD? I just got it and am starting to read it through. What do you think of it? BTW, I enjoy your colors a lot!
Thanks, Joseph! It is the same book. I think it would work well with your style, too. I don\’t think I\’ll be using the method on the Bunny Wiggins stuff, but I am playing around with a different style where I\’ll be using it a lot. It is a VERY helpful book.
Haha, love that first picture of Bunny with suitcase! Really like the contrast between the wealth and the sputtering ride, Jerry!
Thanks Mark… Every now and then BW gets to look cool… But then he opens his mouth and shatters the illusion.
