      Thanks. I was going to ask about that. And are they going to pick up something bigger for the backseat tomorrow?

    “The driver’s more reckless”; pretty strong words considering Unity was driving last time.

      Yes, but UNITY at least has a license. Nera might not yet.

        And Unity had Sweetheart, Rules Queen, at least theoretically restraining her. Jonah is unlikely to exercise a moderating influence.

          That was not much of a consolation when they passed Best Buy

          …to Best Buy’s credit, the joke still works 10 years later

        It’s an assumption, yes, but I think it’s safe to assume that Nera does have her license, since she drove on their first adventure. For some reason, I’m thinking that Nera is a few months older than Jonah, though I can’t find the reference strip. They were 16 on that first adventure, just under 18 in “Grillo Parlante”, and 21 now.

          You’re operating under the assumption that Nera wouldn’t choose to drive without a license. I’m not sure we can safely assume that.

            On the contrary. I think we can very safely assume that. Perhaps not so much that Nera herself wouldn’t choose to, but knowing her mother, she probably made sure that Nera had her license as early as possible – maybe even pulling a few strings to get it earlier than normal. It’s always good to have an extra driver around that you know you can count on.

    Well, then, Leo should have driven.

      Lion is driving? How can that be?!

        Considering he draws a webcomic, was going on a book tour, and manages to put those glasses on every day, I’m sure he’d find a way

      Jesus Christ it’s a lion! Get out of the car!

        I’d imagine that a lion driving a car would probably be weird enough that nobody would see it. If putting a clown costume on makes H.T. invisible (rather than just the costume being invisible, which is what I would have expected), driving a car should definitely do it.

          There was that guy who got caught driving drunk with a zebra in the front seat and tried to claim the zebra was driving.

    Now now, Leo, let us not lionspread.

      Nah, I think he’s just kicking Tip over

        Probably going to sit on him, eventually. And I realize this usually goes with 900-lb. gorillas, but Leo can sit anywhere he wants.

    For bonus points, it’s the same exact lion.

    I’m riding in back
    Right beside a lion
    And there’s not much room in here;
    So readers, please forgive me if
    I feel a bit of fear,
    For the lion wants to spread out
    And the driver starts to veer …
    So I’m riding in back
    Right beside a lion
    And there’s not much room in here.

      Yay! A Silverstein reference makes my morning.

    Isn’t it just like a cat to spread out to take ALL of the space available.
    Unless, of course, it’s alone. Then it will curl up into a tiny ball in an obscure place.

      Lol, so true! My cats take over my side of the bed all the time, even though all three of them technically don’t fill half the bed. I routinely wake up in the middle of the bed, and about a mile away from my nightstand, with a pile of cats in the way.

    Ah; to paraphrase an old saying, ‘The more things change… the more you really, really wish sometimes that they had stayed the same.’

    I just read that three rhino poachers on a game preserve in South Africa got eaten by lions. So anything’s possible…

      “Eaten by lions on an African game preserve” doesn’t strike me as a particularly implausible event…

      “Rhino poachers” sounds like something Nick would say…

      I surmise that that explanation is what the game wardens WANT us to believe. They’re not supposed to shoot the poachers, and of course it would be dangerous if word got out that they had.
