I’m with Dad. One look at Lio rolling down this quiet, residential street in a tank and I’d jump back in bed and pull the covers over my head, and stay there until hunger forced me to get up!
As it happens, I lived across the street from the guy who really did “snag a tank” and then go on a little drive, and ended up dead. Happened a few years ago in San Diego. And he was the most stable of all three of those boys.
I remember during those long endless shifts at the drive-thru at A&W when I had aspirations of joining the military as a tank commander. I vowed to drive my tank through the drive-thru… literally if need be.
Basqueian, I remember the news story about the guy who
“went postal” with the tank. No it didn’t have any ammo, but he did wreck a lot of cars before the authorities stopped him.

Do you REALLY want to know? ‘Cause I don’t.

I think I’d rather start my days the way Lio does … I could use a tank some mornings …

Another potentially promising day winds up in the tank.

Awww, and Dad looks sooo happy in the first two panels. Sometimes it really is better to just stay in bed and let the world pass you by.
It’s also a good thing Lio is too young for a license. It’s harder for the authorities to connect him with Dad.

Come one Lewreader, don’t go THAT far for a pollitical comment. Just wait until you get a good opportunity.

I would love to have my own tank! Sure as heck would make the morning commute a heck of a lot easier!

Be hard to go without words in animated series. Then again, Mr. Bean is hilarious and say nary a word.

Dad got back into bed so that no one would think that he was involved with whatever Lio’s about to do.

This is sooo hard to believe. Usually, the parents wake up way earlier than the kids.

Tiananmen Square was where he got the tank from. He just remembered to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

A loose connection, here: Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, noted for his tank tactics, died on this day in 1944.
