I tried to teach my pre-school daughter to read street signs and stop signs then. She did colors instead. Left it to the teachers and things worked out fine. It was fun though, thinking back.
Again, Thompson mastery of leaving subtle visual hints/cues to contrast the dialogue is shown here: Benni crashing the toy plane with the train provides a sense of degree on the type of “helpful encouragement” his Dad yells.
Even as a kid I never believed that in the Wild West “Never was heard a discouraging word” – I’ll bet General Custer had some words flying around at Little Big Horn…

My dad got in trouble with mom for things he said to other drivers, because I repeated them from the backseat!

I learned some choice French expletives from my French girlfriend, when she drives. If I repeat them here, in French, would GoComics object?

Benji’s Dad should try Dodlyng Yuk instead of expletives!

Why is it that comic strip characters can have flying cars but not real people?

I bet that the encouragement also includes suggestions for personal improvement.

Let’s hope Beni doesn’t become pilot. He just wiped out Alice’s train! :)

Wow, Alice! That was last year!
It’s reassuring to see that Beni is protected from his Dad’s “helpful encouragement” in traffic….
