    maybe she should paint her plane… i understand that she changes out of her street cloths into that costume in her transparent plane … much to the pleasure of the guys in the control tower.

    Wondie’s invisible jet even has its own wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_plane

    Aw, Dogsniff…. your faith is so touching…. thanks…But all I know, too, is that WW’s plane is invisible…

    though not for long, if she can’t resist the temptation of 80% off jet paint.

    I don’t think the strip is about “women” just because she’s female….It would work with a man if he depended on an invisible plane…. or boat or whatever…In fact, Brewster Rockitt would be first in line with a cartful.Reminds me of when cartoon ghosts get caught in laundry or drapes….

    No, no. It’s that black stuff that Tim Tebow puts under his eyes.

    Forgot to say…. I magnified this a lot and the only thing I can figure out for “costing”, “casting” or whatever is that it might say “Cost Inc.” as a sort of play on Costco….But Costco doesn’t have handbaskets, or gallons of paint, it has Volkswagen chassis on wheels, and drums of mayonnaise.

    And after working for Chevrolet for 30+ years, I can tell you a Geo Metro is, in reality, a “Suzuki Swift”.

    Little Known Fact: ALL planes are invisible until they cover them with something. It’s TRUE!

    Jimmy Carter told everyone about her invisible plane five years before it was in the comic book.

    Don’t spend it all on jet paint. There’s a sale on Spandex sealant and boob wax on the next aisle.

    When I don’t get the point of a cartoon, I am always grateful when someone else asks for an explanation first.

    So Thanks!

    If the paint is 80% off, then, logically, after she paints the plane it will be only 20% visible.

    Dogsniff…. if I felt bad every time I couldn’t understand Brevity…. or some other comic… I’d need to buy my antidepressants in big tubs at Costco.

    Runar — LOL…and correct!

    When my partners and I had a 25% off sale in our little vintage clothing store (years ago) we used to hang a shirt with a missing collar and sleeve in the window.

    And Night-Gaunt — what I’ve read was that it was supposed to be invisible, but the artists made it look “transparent” just so we readers could tell what it was up to.

    Funny because Greeks aren’t known for making sound fiscal decisions.
