Newer automobile lifts are electric, all of the lift mechanisms are above the floor. The old hydraulic lifts were located below the floor and after time would develop oil leaks contaminating the ground requiring expensive cleanup.
Slim better watch out he could upset the balance of the car on the lift and cause it to fall. Being in the car repair biz for 35 years, I’ve seen cars fall off of lifts and it’s NOT pretty!
You know, usually Slim earns whatever comeuppance he receives, but this is downright cruelty. Speaking as a husband, if my wife ever acted this way, we’d be having a serious conversation that night. And yes, I know this is a comic strip and not to take it seriously, but since y’all are pretty much ganging up on Slim, someone needs to defend the big galoot the one time he’s actually in the right.
I’ll bet there’s at least one restaurant down the street that might be interested in that cat. They could call the dish, “Slim’s revenge.” Table for one, please…

I would venture a guess that Lucky is officially an alley cat ….. a “gasoline alley” cat! Looks like he’ll be forever part of this strip.

so maybe “BZZT” wasn’t the right faux-sound effect but even Slim knows lifts are hydraulic

The lift hydraulic. The control, electronic.

In real life, I don’t think they lift up that far..it seems a bit exaggerated to me.

Why is Clovia letting the kitten run around outside the office where it can run outside and get lost.

Looks to me that Slim should learn to get on to the good side of that cat.

“Lucky, you’re a naughty boy”, said Clovia, when in reality her expression said, “Good job, Lucky!” Slim is definitely outnumbered.
