Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 29, 2016

somebody’s gotta have visionsomebody’s make it real.“In 1907, he (Ole Evinrude, dhg) invented the first practical and reliable outboard motor, which was built of steel and brass, and had a crank on the flywheel to start the two-cycle engine. In 1907 he had built his first gasoline-powered outboard motor, and two years later, Evinrude Motor Company was founded in Milwaukee.”.I remember the tale his date remembered she forgot something after he rowed our to an island in the middle of a lake, he got tired of rowing, invented the outboard motor, don’t know if he finished his date.

Just grab a straw like in cartoons, and BLOW!

Anyone else remember in what movie Evinrude the Dragonfly appeared and what his role was?

The Rescuers (1977) by Disney

If that;s one and the same Evinrude, then the strip can hardly be set in the middle ages.

My last Evinrude was 3.6 liters, 300 HP, V8 two stroke…

Aren’t the rowers facing in the wrong direction? The power is on the back stroke, but they’re facing the front of the boat. It looks like the man in white is standing on the poop.

Unless that stick in his hand is supposed to be the rudder, he’s in the bow.

Evinrude is now a subsidiary of Bombardier Recreational Products…

Not bad.

Or a future relative does.

Thanks for making me look something up!I don’t read comics to learn stuff!

Mr. Evinrude, meet your new benchmate, Mr. Johnson
