Pastis may be southern. We lump all the types of drunk-mobiles together into the moped category.Amazing not, When NC required to drunk-mobiles to be registered and insured (though no driver’s license required) They all but disappeared from the road.
I guess if Hank Snow had seen this cartoon before passing, he could be singing “I moped everywhere man, . . .” Except it would have to be the just slightly more than one syllable version of the word.

Goat is a glass half-empty kind of guy.

Pig’s quite a traveler; he’s seen Paris from the seat of his moped.

very clever, Mr. Pastis… I sarcastically applause you for making quite punchline

Paris, to his credit, acknowledges a skillfully executed pun even when he is the butt of the joke.

Am I the only one to notice that Pig is riding a scooter rather than a moped?

I guess I’m optimistic. I read it the correct way.

Pig’s feet could never reach the PEDals on a real moPED

Not just pessimists—also anyone who can tell the difference between a moped and a scooter!
Say What Now‽ Premium Member about 7 years ago
I read it correctly, pessimists read it differently, perfectionists read it as scooter.

First thing I noticed. Unforgivable in the eyes of a scooter person. Viva Vespa!

WOO-HOO, Pastis said I’m an optimist (sort of)!

Yeah! I’m a pessimist!

Wordplay! I like how Pastis allows himself to become a character. That’s something you don’t see many cartoonists do.

For the record, that doesn’t quite count as a motorcycle…keep practicing though…

Steph can’t draw a bicycle but he does a pretty good moped.

This one really was pretty clever. It’s a nice departure from the pun onslaught.

That’s a scooter, not a mo-ped, it has no pedals.

Both versions are a little sad.

Think you’re smart, don’t you, Cartoon-Boy?
Well, how about “moped” versus “mo-ped”? What’s a hyphen cost these days? A Fistful of Pixels? [Background: dramatic music by Morricone.]
You’ll pay for this! As soon as my Vespa can get me there! (If I had one.) (I don’t.) (Besides, I’m just yanking your chain. I wish!)
