I passed this strip by at least 20 hip, well-educated people and no one could figure out the joke. I even offered a prize! I guess it's because up here, if you don't have a garage, you face this scenario every time it snows. So a 10-12 inch snowfall builds up on your little car and makes the outline is bigger? Duh!
The second last panel makes it clear, look at the roofline. I have been to the snow a couple of times, and found that my car looked huge, once I could find it. Like the strip, but my only problem with this sketch is that Monty now turns out to be a lot cooler than originally understood, with his great little Mini instead of a big turgid SUV.
The snow issue I understand, it's been like that here since October and hasn't let up. But I guess I don't find the strip that funny.
I just scrape off enough to see out of the windows and let the power of the wind blow the rest off.
If you live where it snows enough to bury vehicles and such, it's funny(or makes more sense).
Huge car shaped mountain of snow and you get to work on it and end up with a little bitty car.
I find it rather funny.
Yes, that's right. That's what this strip is saying to us - a small car buried under snow. It's kinda funny in a small way. I believe the opening led us in thinking Monty owns a huge SUV under snow but then at end turns to be a small car.
I think I get it but it's not that funny. It goes from looking like a huge car in the first panels due to the snow to a tiny car in the last panel because there is no snow on it? This is what I am thinking.
