Ok uh… A child isn’t in the back seat! How Unsafe this is dangerous! A dog driving a car how unsafe! I demand realism in my comics! The Van is red, how unsafe !kid using a cell phone, bad! (I’m joking here)
But really though, it’s fun seeing Nick and Gumbo for a bit.
I think the instructor who said Gumbo passed the driving test went easy on him. I mean, yeah, on one level I know it’s a handicap not to have an opposable thumb, but if that interferes with driving ability I want to keep the roads safe.
You heard him (read him), Comment Section! Have an asinine fit about the laws violated in this clearly-marked dream sequence within a clearly-marked comic strip!
Having the dog driving is the perfect analogy for the “self-driving” car. It really wants to go where you want to go but it’s easily distracted and you have to watch it every second .

soooo … Gumbo is 16 dog years old already? Or that’s not important in a dream? Just asking (for my future dreams…)

Nick & Gumbo overdose. Compensating for the rest of the year where we don’t see them at all.

I remember riding in the back, up on the ledge looking out the back window at the stars going home from the drive-in.

You do realize what’s going on here, don’t you?
Rob is giving us “Fan Service” for all the complaints that we don’t see Nick/Gumbo enough.
And, sure enough, there are now complaints that we’re seeing too much of Nick/Gumbo… ☺

Are Gumbo’s legs long enough to reach the pedals?

OK, dream sequence confirmed, now the question is whose. It can’t be Adams’, it’s too creative.

If they complain about a child in the front seat, they should first mention the dog driving

We are all just glad he’s not driving. :)
