Humans are thoughtless and cruel. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but did you know their thoughtlessness goes back many, many years? Check out this invention by some innovator type from back in the thirties. I like how this article from the June, 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics starts out…
(When you take your dog along for a ride, but prefer not having it inside the car…

Get this crap out’a here!
LOL for a minute I thought it was gonna be about the old comic book character same name :>}
He’s gonna stick his head out the window anyway, so he should like this.
I personally love the kitty carrier I saw from a few years back. Can’t find a picture, but it involved a battery carrier-like device (pick up on the handle, it applies pressure to both ends). On one end was a muzzle, the other had a screw to tighten it...
I really, really wish I had a pic of my dog with his head out the window...right about 40 mph, his lower lip turns inside out and wraps under his chin...he (obviously) doesn’t mind at all, and looks hilarious...
Did you, by any chance, happen to read the original story for that movie in National Lampoon?
The movie was merciful compared to the written description.
Of course, my cat-loving friends didn't get the humor.
I have that pic at home.... ill post it to you later.
Ooooh...I remember that scene.
Sick and cruel pictures that intend on hurting cat lovers and promote cruelty will be reported and hopefully deleted.
lighten up francis
Kinda looks like a doggy airbag. Three more and he would have full protection.
They’re serious, and that thing costs around $400.
don’t you have a peta meeting to go to?
I’m pretty sure that NL had a [bad] influence on me in my “formative” teen years.
My mother would’ve stroked out if she’d known what I was reading.
Some of it was laugh-til-you’re-sick funny...:))
A weird line from one of O’Rourke’s loon-fests is still part of my vocabulary, almost 30 years later.
Occasionally, someone will ask “What time is it?” and I’ll answer “Time has no meaning...and a narrow, purple beak.”
Then I giggle and they look at me like I’m insane.
That article was hysterical....I guess ya had to be there...:)
Wasn't the original title, "The Man Who Shot Walt Disney" and not with an air gun says a lot.
Interesting statement coming from someone who has this flash game on their profile page:
Smack the Penguin and get rid of your frustration!!
Had to go look:
“The screenplay was written by John Hughes, based on his short-story in National Lampoon magazine, “Vacation ‘58” (the screenplay changes the year to 1983). The original story is (reportedly) a fictionalized account of his own family’s ill-fated trip to Disneyland (changed to “Wally World” for the film) when Hughes was a boy. The success of the movie helped launch his screenwriting career.”
Geez penguin whacking can be fun!
Lame.
Thanks for the memory LOL. In many ways this one was more realistic than Beatle. I used to read Sad Sack as a kid.
