Ah, the good old days, when one needed a grounds for divorce.
As Ruth Bell Graham once said, when asked whether she’d ever contemplated divorcing her evangelist husband, Billy: “Divorce? No. Murder, yes; but not divorce.”

That’s one of the laws of nature in Toonland. Cars never touch the road when moving. And you never fall after you run off a cliff until you look down and realize you have.

Hey Calvin dad must be doing like 160mph and over#8230;look the car isn’t even touching the road…lol

If you check the speedometer in panel 1 it looks like he is doing about 50-60mph

Last panel…Is Calvin wearing his seatbelt? :-)

txmule: This strip was first published in a time before they had laws making kids wear helmets and knee pads to ride a bike, cross a street or even get out of bed. Remember the old saying, “What doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger.”??? Well, I feel sorry for this and future generations. They will grow up to be weak.

stepping off soapbox now

Good one

Yeah, Gil, because flying through a windshield and surviving will certainly make you stronger and will not in any way leave you partially disfigured with possible brain damage.

Gil, at least todays kids will live.

I don’t think the car is flying. It’s just under water from the flooding the rain caused.

We see in the 1st panel dad with his seat belt on, in the last panel neither Calvin or dad is sporting a seat belt. This is hazardous specially
when the car is flying low……..

• Posted: 2008-10-02T22:02:30Z

It would be even more hazardous if the car were flying high.

• Posted: 2008-10-03T00:06:23Z

The seatbelt turned white.
