Road Trip



Wow! 100 original stories! You might almost call this a Casper Comic Digest.
I haven't seen a Casper comic digest since, let's see, August of 1971. That one had just failed as a distraction to ward off car-sickness, which was why it was being digested (roadside) in Illinois as I recall.
We all learned so much on that trip.
*Never give four children any choices at breakfast time. No waffles, french toast or pancakes. Everyone gets scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. You REALLY don't want a station wagon full of sugar charged kids on a 500 mile drive.
*When playing the Alphabet game, watch for liquor stores to score the Q-R-S-T-U bonanza.
*Watch also for liquor stores when hoping to score the R-E-L-A-X M-O-M bonanza.
*Get used to the words "There, we saw it, let's go".
*Never stay at a Holiday Inn recently occupied by Army men on leave ("Yup, that's broken too").
Honestly, I remember almost nothing of our time in Michigan with Mom & Dad's family. Nora, Jim & kids lived on a lake where I caught a fish by jumping in a grabbing at it which my younger brother Chris saw as needlessly cruel. By the way;
*All the kids can't ride at the very front of a pontoon boat.
