      Was. Sadly, he left us with all of the Busy Town books he had to write and illustrate in 1994. But he left a wonderful legacy.

    A pig driving a hot dog is kinda gruesome if you think about it.

        Oh, that’s fine, because there aren’t any cow people in Richard Scarry’s works.

        Oh. Drinking milk has gotta be awkward, too!

    hotdog car.

    Ok I’m giving up on trying to find an apple car. The search results are flooded with either stuff about the company Apple making their own car, or how to integrate their phones and apps with your own car.

    This joke ain’t funny enough to keep going. Sorry.

    You could drive a hot dog or a pickle car…or you could drive a bi-plane car or tank that is attached to a steamroller tractor or a car made out of wood with saws.

        If my options are crash and burn in an:

        • An ordinary car, or
        • A Telsa, or
        • Wacky Race car

        I am going to take the Wacky Race car. At least, there’s going to be a good story out of my death.
