Was. Sadly, he left us with all of the Busy Town books he had to write and illustrate in 1994. But he left a wonderful legacy.

Oh, that's fine, because there aren't any cow people in Richard Scarry's works.

Oh. Drinking milk has gotta be awkward, too!

Ever heard of the Tony Hawk blood skateboard? (Or skateboards? I dunno.)

Isn't the concept of a pig driving a hot dog kinda low key horrifying?

In the original Disney Three Little Pigs cartoon, the third pig has paintings of sausages and ham on his wall with labels under them like "uncle" and "grandmother."

I mean we technically do have the hot dog car in real life, so that's neat

And Teslas are kinda like the Apple version of a car. But they kill people.

BEHOLD! THE FUTURE IS NOW!!

hotdog car.

Ok I'm giving up on trying to find an apple car. The search results are flooded with either stuff about the company Apple making their own car, or how to integrate their phones and apps with your own car.

This joke ain't funny enough to keep going. Sorry.

Considering the reliability of the Wacky Races cars, that may not be the best idea.

If my options are crash and burn in an:

  • An ordinary car, or
  • A Telsa, or
  • Wacky Race car

I am going to take the Wacky Race car. At least, there's going to be a good story out of my death.

Well, he's the inventor of both Blippi and Steezy Grossman characters, yes.

Regardless, Blippi is an okay children's show. The characters' actor changed over time.

Blippi is an amazing example of entrepreneurship. They created hit children's character with basically nothing. Those early videos are just him at a park or in a kids play area shot with an iPhone.

True. It's just harder because you have to move the power around with mechanical linkages rather than just having a big ass cable

Ha! I instantly recognized this art style. it's Richard Scarry, British children's book author. I still have a hard copy of one of my favorites from childhood:

I know I've seen this book in primary school but I can't remember the title

It will be nice when the energy density on batteries has gotten high enough and charging times have gotten low enough that we can move on from making cars so aerodynamic and experiment more with funkier form factors.
