- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Pretty accurate, but the hamster wheel should be lower near the crankshaft. ๐
As a mechanic, I see nothing wrong.
I don't think the hood closes and the hamster looks like he's out of alignment
Just need a bigger hammer.
Can they even find the latch handle under the dash?
Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man!
These have a pretty interesting history!
It is interesting, thank you

Is that a capybara?
Possibly.
Trucks and SUVs come with capybara, mini cars with guinea pigs.
That would explain the occasional weird squealing sound.
We need to jurassic park that thing to get more power : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephoartigasia
Or just bigger cars I guess.
Looks accurate enough.
Trumpet, keg, piano keys...yep, this all checks out.
And the piano keys are wrong. So yeah, if the point is that cartoonists should research visual references better, that point is truly hammered home.
maybe it's one of them shitty pianos. you know, keytars
Can't wait for the sequel at the doctor
Basic maintenance is something that every car owner should know before they haul a 3000+ lb pile of steel down the road. Not knowing the basics of how your car works is a great way to destroy your engine, break your suspension, or get you or someone else killed when your brakes inevitably fail because you never check your pads.
Edit: Okay if you don't own a car, that's fair. But if that changes, please learn how do simple things like maintain tire pressure, change all your fluids (oil, transmission fluid, coolant, diff fluid, etc.), and replace brake pads. All simple stuff that needs to be done, and can be done using nothing but YouTube, some basic tools, and an hour or two of your time.
I feel that applies to every machine more complex than a can opener.
Some people simply don't own or drive cars.
I live in a place where I didn't need my drivers licence until my late 30s, and barely use it.
- empty 12V battery
- oil filter (?) somewhere among the things
- the gasket!
- blinker fluid intake
Now that is a woke engine.
TIM's car.
