The Wizard of Id has been enchanting audiences since 1964, but the real wizards behind this comic classic were artist Brant Parker and writer Johnny Hart.
The pair began paving the path to the Kingdom of Id in 1950, when Parker, a staff artist for the Binghamton Press in upstate New York, was asked to judge a high school art contest. Among the entrants was a teenager by the name of Johnny Hart, whose work so impressed Parker that he arranged a meeting.

Well, as the strip isn’t particuarly funny….
.
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting!
The trooper cranked down his window and yelled to the driver, “PULL OVER!”
“NO!” the blonde yelled back, “SCARF!”

I’ve always thought it would be neat to have a right hand drive car with a fake steering wheel on the left side and a partner to pull a trick like that.

I had a LHD campervan in the UK (where most vehicles are RHD, of course). My wife used to ride with her feet up on the dash … We got a few doubletakes.

My buddy was a passenter in a RHD auto which another friend had parked on the sidewalk in downtown Denver. A policeman asked my buddy for license, etc and gave him the ticket.
It was a cinch to beat the ticket in court and the cop looked a real goof!

Kind of funny now, though it wasn’t then. my wife got pulled over for driving while short.
The car had a high seat with a big headrest ; and the patrolman didn’t see anything above the headrest. So he pulled her over assuming she was underage.
