The Wright brothers’ flight was in 1903, and Walt looks to be at least 5-6 years old here. That means he must’ve been born around 1897-1898, rather than 1900 as previously thought (after all, that bike is much too large for a 3-year-old). Isn’t it way past time for Walt to kick the bucket?

Add that to the script. They’ll like it better than their version.

Those were the days. Why doesn’t Walt’s dad have a pencil thin mustache ? They were all the rage.

There might be some clues in Dearborn, Michigan. The Wright Brothers’ original bicycle shop is on display at Greenfield Village there.

Happy to see these strips looking back. Scancarelli does nostalgia very well!

Did they use parts from Walt’s bicycle to build one of their airplanes?

So Walt lived in Dayton Ohio. Is that where Gasoline Alley is located?

The Wright brothers had a bicycle shop in Cedar Rapids Iowa… so maybe Walt grew up in Iowa???
