It seems he used a Vespa that belongs to him as a model for the picture. So I sent him some pictures of my Vespas and, naturally, my Cushmans. He seems to like my oldest scooter best. That is no surprise to me, because it has always been my favorite.

Update:

Five weeks ago: The Oregonian began experimenting with its weekday comics lineup.
Two weeks ago: As part of this experiment, The Oregonian added "Bizarro" to its lineup.
Today: The Oregonian finalized its weekday lineup, and "Bizarro" is one they're keeping.

Lucky "Still not running it Sundays, though... I remember them running it Sundays over ten years ago" Wizard

PS: Anybody read a newspaper that runs Safe Havens on weekdays? For the duration of the five-week experiment, The Oregonian dropped that strip. It returned today, and I'm puzzled by today's strip: Why is Dave wearing Roger's palm pilot mascot costume? Can anyone fill me in on the past five weeks?

PPS: Would it have killed the Oregonian to wait to drop "Brewster Rockit" until the current storyline in that strip was done?
