        Oh, that’s fine, because there aren’t any cow people in Richard Scarry’s works.

        Oh. Drinking milk has gotta be awkward, too!

    hotdog car.

    Pickle car

    Ok I’m giving up on trying to find an apple car. The search results are flooded with either stuff about the company Apple making their own car, or how to integrate their phones and apps with your own car.

    This joke ain’t funny enough to keep going. Sorry.

    You could drive a hot dog or a pickle car…or you could drive a bi-plane car or tank that is attached to a steamroller tractor or a car made out of wood with saws.

        • An ordinary car, or
        • A Telsa, or
        • Wacky Race car

        I am going to take the Wacky Race car. At least, there’s going to be a good story out of my death.

        Well, he’s the inventor of both Blippi and Steezy Grossman characters, yes.

        Regardless, Blippi is an okay children’s show. The characters’ actor changed over time.

          Blippi is an amazing example of entrepreneurship. They created hit children’s character with basically nothing. Those early videos are just him at a park or in a kids play area shot with an iPhone.
