Those Cars movies made it hard for me not to see the windshield as the eyes now, but the time period of this strip is 10+ years before they came out.

I love how beautifully this strip is drawn.

Speaking of eyes, is this the first time we’ve ever seen one of his?

Was old jingles ever just jingles?

Woah Kyle’s eye. Also Kimmie asks a good question.

It’s all part of Jingles’ plan. If terror doesn’t work, shoot for pity. And live for another day.

I was wondering the same thing, Kimmie.

This story arc starts with silliness, but seems to be ending with a lot of heart. That’s why I come back day after day.

I can see the movie version of this in my mind.

Uh oh! Another story arch coming…

Kyle has eyes?

Kyle, you can’t be serious. It’s a truck. It’s not like Old Jingles has a family or anything.

Kimmy with the hard hitting questions…

He’s got the trademark on “Truck Slayer”!

Great cartoon question

The headlights are definitely a car’s eyes

Poor little trucky.:’(

Love the scroll across the central panels — so clever!

Kimmy. You put your hat back on?!

Pedantry alert * In the cartoon of 19 June, Kyle said he never got to use the Truck Slayer because it needed a two-person team to work. But today he’s implying that he was ready and able to use it single-handed. Continuity violation—or else Kyle’s an unreliable narrator.

Come to think of it, Kyle’s quite likely to be an unreliable narrator. I guess we need to wait and see what Mr. Bondia will come up with next.

This is a legitimate question.

Remind me never to hang out at Deathbed Quarry.

It’s not the truck that Miles and Kevin want. It’s the ice cream inside the truck.

Are the eyes of a car in the windshield or the headlights? This has long been a debate amongst cartoonists for decades. Did we finally solve it? We did… but it’s highly classified.

I love how this strip gets so many Creators commenting, something I never see on any other.

By the way, remember I said I felt sorry for Old Jingles ..?

See… I think it’s the headlights.
