lol, my car’s got a squeek at the moment, perhaps there’s a dolphin under my bonnet!
🙂
hey, that’s not fair. she looked for a warm place, no harm intended.
Makes me think of a “Seinfeld” episode where Kramer and Newman put their groceries under the hood of Jerry’s car.
Yikes.
More cephalopods!
LOL.
Dave Barry has the exact same joke in his book about real man. 🙂
Dave Barry did it already. I remember an article about car ownership where he said he wouldn’t be able to to recognize any car problem more complex than “A squid on the manifold”.
Guess I should start reading some Dave Barry!
I think it is quite obvious from Doug’s cartoon that the problem is the spark plugs are shot.
Right you are, Tim! But the mechanic will still charge $1200 for squid removal.
I bet that mechanic is going to charge extra for that.
no wonder the sqidbillies truck never runs, grandma is under the hood making motor noises.
Is that Ishy? Is this a Lio cross-over? Admittedly, both you and Mark Tatulli have a similarly twisted sense of humor! 😉
This is awful. Everyone gnome octopi have beaks, not fangs.
it’s a six-legged fanged squid-monster, mutated by prolonged exposure to windshield wiper fluid!
squiddy is in love! leave him alone!
It reminds me of Star Wars and the monsters that attacked the Millenium Falcon in the giant warm, lol!
My car makes a bizarre sound, I wonder what’s in it?
Doug I have a card given to my husband years ago and I am going to email it to you. It is very similar to your cartoon however it involves a salmon in the engine. 🙂
My car exactly, only I have a giant mouse nest under the hood. Same thing happens to the lawn tractor, grr. Easy to fix, tho 🙂
Yeah. Squid happens.
And then they charge you an arm and a leg to fix it.
I used to work in a garage and we had this cartoon over the register. Forget Dave Barry, Edward Koren started it all! http://www.discourse.net/images/old/problem.png
sorry caption is missing from that: try this

I was thinking he was trying to make calamari, ala the same type of thing where a guy cooks stuff in foil on engine blocks.
@Steve: my squeak turned out to be a rat living in the engine cover… who chewed all of the wires… and through the washer fluid tubes… and made a nice nest… that cost me a whole lot… but perhaps not as much as squid-removal…
This is the way feel when I look at any engine
