Does J.J. lose her sense of direction when she gets behind the wheel? Because, I’m sure she has walked both with Alex and by herself to the school dozens of times.

Alex nose is similar to JJ’s . Then only growing up she’ll develope a “Mike nose” .

“‘Are we lost, Daddy?’ ‘Shut up!’ he explained”—Ring Lardner

It’s a performance art thing she’s doing.

OFFS!

Oh, well. It’s back to the School of hard knocks, again.

Thanks to the GPS, I no longer get lost.

I saw that coming from the first panel. Still it was funny.

GPS was the best invention since sliced bread.

A cabbie getting lost? Accidentally? Suspicious.

As if Alex being so young, or the copyright date, don’t show how old these strips are, taxi fares starting with $1 certainly do! That said, I still very much enjoy reading these.

One of those few strips that just couldn’t have happened today, thanks to, as others have pointed out above, GPS.

Of course, you also wonder why even IRL NYC didn’t require anything similar to “The Knowledge” before there was a GPS unit in every cab.

Still amazing that Alex turned out as well adjusted as she is….

Every time that happened when I had my nephew with me, I’d say, “We’re having an adventure!” He was about 5-6 when he looked at me, sighed and said, “That just means we’re lost, Aunt Pam”. He’s 37 now.

I don’t know where I’d be if it weren’t for GPS. Literally.

Talk about quality time!
