Or, take a large solid disk, have the leaf blower blow through a hole in the middle and you have a hovercraft (air hockey puck) that you can move with a fan. It’s not so good for stopping for traffic.
And in case anyone mistakenly thinks that helmet is for safety, I invite you check out Commando Cody (the picture wouldn’t paste unfortunately), jet pack, space travel helmet and all. Red’s got it nailed!
Didn’t need a leaf blower on our block back in the 1960’s..We lived on a hill with a 20 foot drop over two blocks..Flexi-Flyer,skateboards,and skates zoomed down at 15-20 mph..We even had a semi-circular driveway at a house on the bottom of the hill that we zoomed in and out and terrorized the neighborhood..

There are times when this strip seemed to be set in the 1950’s. Check out the fins on that car.

There’s even a vintage 1960’s car somewhere on my street. Someone I work with has a vintage 50’s car.

I like the artwork. Did they have blowers in the sixties?

Remember kid’s only do this if you have a loyal four legged companion to pull you home when you run out of gas.

No words necessary. Such a beautiful strip. Keep up the good work, Brian.

@Barry1951: apart from the age of the trees, Red’s neighborhood is typical 1950’s tract-built suburbia.
