Richard Scarry is awesome

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

A pig driving a hot dog is kinda gruesome if you think about it.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

It's all beef.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

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

Oh. Drinking milk has gotta be awkward, too!

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

The cows drink pig milk. 😉

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's called pilk.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Lmao! "Deloinkful"

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

What are your thoughts on an Ouroboros but the front half is a pig and the back half is a hotdog?

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That sounds delicious!

Well fam have I got a treat for you, this is the drawing I made for my first tattoo:

Boaroboros

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That looks delicious!

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Amazing.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

"Hotdog car isn't science fiction, it's science fact."

~Oscar Meyer, probably

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

“To beef frank, hotdog car isn’t science fiction, it’s science fact.”

[-] Bananigans@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you for putting the correct quote.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Richard Scary is a GOAT of children's fantasy.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Quite literally, sometimes!

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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."

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

No worse than my Honda Spinal AcCord

[-] emmanuel_car@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

A gingerbread man sits in a gingerbread house…

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

I did not expect to see Lowly the worm on Lemmy today. Nice.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Lowly's brown and that guy's green. What, you're saying all worms look alike??

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Oh shit. Sorry for my inadvertent wormism. I haven’t seen the guy in like 40 years!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

All my homies love lowly the worm 🥰

[-] glarf@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Wow that's a blast from the past.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

This... is not how I imagined the Apple car to look like...

[-] Trex202@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The lawsuit is still pending.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

BEHOLD! THE FUTURE IS NOW!!

hotdog car.

Pickle 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.

[-] QualifiedKitten@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Here's a few, the trick I used was to translate "apple car" into other languages (Spanish, German), then search using the translations:

[-] Birch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Then the car turned itself into a pickle! Funniest shit I've ever seen!

[-] camr_on@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I had a giant Richard Scarry book when I was little, that was the shit

[-] Czarb@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Where is goldbug hiding?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 2 years ago

You could drive a hot dog or a pickle car....or you could drive a bi-plane car or tank that is attached to a steamroller tractor or a car made out of wood with saws.

Cars with electric motors can be any shape. I am appalled that there is not a pattywagon for sale

[-] yetiftw@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

for the record, cars with combustion engines can also be any shape

[-] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

I wanted Lowly's apple car so badly when I was a kid.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I have nipples, Greg... Can you make me into a car?

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

You can drive anything with nipples.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I mean I guess, but I find it easier to drive with my hands.

[-] PlantPowerPhysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

what's the hotdog car made of

[-] berryjam@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

A hotdog

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Hope it’s 100% beef for the driver’s sake
