    Why is that guy wearing a bear costume? Am I being totally innocent/naive by asking this question?

  • Brett Lamb

    yeah, he’s a furry

  • http://undefined thelemur

    God, those things are obnoxious. They need to be taken off the roads.

  • http://undefined MariaPD

    Furries?

    There’s been no shortage of odd costumes in these strips.

  • http://undefined MariaPD

    You mean the robot is a costume, not a real robot? Boo.

  • Brett Lamb

    that was an astronaut .. a real astronaut.

  • http://undefined rek

    You mean the astronaut, or the guy with the robot arm (which makes him a cyborg)?

  • http://undefined MariaPD

    Sadly, I was talking about the guy that, now that it’s been pointed out, looks like an astronaut.

    Ha! I thought these trucks had been banned in Toronto – anybody know if that’s true?

    Yes.

    I won’t even try to figure out what haunted you to put that in there.

  • thelemur

    Nothing against them, unless they happen to be driving billboard trucks.

  • Brett Lamb

    Rob Ford’s camapaign used one.

    Some of these trucks run on BioDiesel. But it’s still a waste of energy as that BioDiesel could be used in a vehicle with a more useful purpose than mobile advertising.

    99% of advertising is a waste of resources.
