I’m not reading it as a fart joke. I’m reading it as kids not understanding the meaning of “through the roof”.
However, I’d think he would have had the kids look up, like gas was going to come in “through the roof”.
I know the gas tank is underneath, and you know the gas tank is underneath, but I didn’t think the kids would put together the “roof” of the gas tank being the “floor” of the minivan.
Did anyone else picture those cute little kids being burned to death in a flaming ball of gasoline?
He’s trying to make the customer go home, by making him conclude that he is hallucinating. Because he’s had so much to drink, you see. So he thinks, “I say, I’m hallucinating, I’d best be off home.”
I didn’t see what was to ‘get’ about the Boondocks. Huey throws brick at Bush voter. Am I missing something?
I don’t understand the “Doctor Fun” or the “most creative alternative to last call” at all.
The Boondocks one is funny. The guy honked twice for Bush so Huey is going to throw a brick through his window. Its funny to think about him standing out there all day with a pile of bricks.
adam@home: I don’t see it as a fart joke at all. I see it as the kids scared that the gas tank is going to go through the roof, and move away from the middle of the seat. It really can’t be a fart joke, since they’re already at the gas station - these would be pretty stupid kids if they couldn’t at least make that connection.
It’s the return counter. Someone had just returned faulty doctor care in the form of body parts.
As for the “Last Call” joke, all I have to offer is that maybe it’s a Harvey the Rabbit reference. Maybe.
I’m with Munch – not a fart joke, just a play on the kid’s misunderstanding of the “through the roof” expression. They’re trying to get out of the way of the volcano of gasoline about to be gushing from the gas tank up through the roof.
The seat didn’t stretch – the ‘camera’ pulled back so you can see more of the seat as the two kids moved over to the sides of the car.
I’ve never seen the strip “Doctor Fun” before. But its title kind of clues me in that it’s for doctors, and is most likely medically related. What would *you * return to a return counter at a medically-related institution (read: hospital)? Why, medical care, of course!

So the pig says, “my wife is a whore!”
Now that is a complaint!

It’s not. It’s not a continuity strip, either. It’s random gags. Very, very random gags. One of the few that I’ve thought was funny was a ‘LOST’ poster for Cthulhu (Actually, it combined aspects of Cthulhu, Hastur, and Dagon.).
