Ok, so then what is the point of OP? We get it, it's some comic about vehicles and etc.
it's loving amazing how the guy who made it put down all that work in all the details referring to real life even though the kids reading it wouldn't even get it until years later, how so much of USA is represented in such a funny and interesting way
this is huge loving amazing gem, and he did all these things, in the 50's! can you believe it? all the references, amazing!
but then again, of course, you could simply just not get it and call me stupid. yeah, that works too.
