   I think, in some way or another, we’ve all felt like we have that special gift…

   You can sure tell how “dated” this comic strip is….where did Jon find a drive-in?

   Liz needs some sort of reward for her patience - a lifetime supply of fireproof body armor would be a good start.

   Drive-ins aren’t totally gone, have a couple still in my area.

   So that’s why she goes out with him. It must’ve taken her a long time to stop laughing.

   Back in the day when drive-ins charged by person, not carload, this cheap teenager got in the trunk and let my date drive in for the price of one. She left me in that trunk the whole movie. I never would have forgiven her except she had two good points.

   Macush – She did admit, back when she would go out with him sometimes but didn’t really like him, that he amused her!

    Don’t ask me what movie we were supposed to be watching.

    They are the kind that try men’s souls. Thomas Paine was close,but not close enough.

    The Admiral Twin Drive-In still exists in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It closes when the weather gets too cool.

    “The Outsiders” movie used the drive-in theater as one of its venues.

    There’s still a drive-in in my area too, cynthialand.

    There are drive-ins all over the place. What don’t exist anymore are those car lighters! Jon must drive a clunker!

    I wish we could have SEEN this happen, rather than just read a second-hand report. Would’ve been a lot funnier.
    And ejcapulet, Liz deserves a much better reward–a boyfriend with his head screwed on!

    For any Californians who grew up with Drive-ins, here is a very sad list of Calif. DIs, both still open and closed. Notice the “closed” as opposed to the “open”. I found several of my old favorites on here (all closed) - you’ll see yours, also.
    (P.S. - Others can also check their own state, not just Ca.)

    We still have the Tibbs Drive-In here in Indianapolis, IN! It’s a pretty cool place, but the prices at the Refreshment Stand are really high!!!

    there’s lots of drive-ins. the one near baltimore (Bengies) had a falling-out with the local paper so they don’t advertise in the movie section any more. kind of makes it hard to get more patrons.

    Bengies Forever!
    checking out the bengiesdrivein site and they have a video that was on CNN recently.

    Jon, truly, you are not alone. The Law of Unintended Consequences sometimes rises up to smite us all hip and thigh.

    Never had a date like this comedy of errors, but I’ve had other experiences that were (thankfully not nearly as injurious).

    there are still 4 drive-ins within 30 min from my hometown in upstate NY
