There are entirely too many jokes about the noises customers make when describing a vehicular ailment to a professional. I tried to put a bit of a different spin on the idea for this strip.
MRS. SHOEBOX’S ASSESSMENT OF TODAY’S STRIP: *laughing* That one I like!
Keeping my commentary short this time around so I can get to work preparing for BaltiCon in Baltimore, MD this weekend! I’m not currently scheduled for any Webcomics-related stuff, but I’ll be performing as Worm Quartet Friday night as part of the FuMP show, and doing a solo show Saturday night. Balder’ll be there too. Hope to see some of you there!

What I know about cars is just for driving. That kind of technical bafflegab from a mechanic leaves me nodding and saying “Great! Fix it, please.” Next time my truck needs work, I know I’m going to remember this strip. Are those volume knobs documented online anywhere? …well, anywhere but here? I could save a bundle.
There’s a Honda shop in Houston that has a photocopied sheet taped to each service advisor’s station. It has a list of about 30 descriptive names for sounds, and what they actually sound like (ie. metalic squeak : like bedsprings). Pretty helpful, actually, when you’re trying to describe the noise the car is making.
Just so you know – I care.
Efogoto, you should submit “bafflegab” to be included in the dictionary. I love that word, I’m going to use it from now on.
Behold, the downside to putting MP3 players in cars.
If I had known where the USB port was, I wouldn’t have needed to pay for new brakes.
Ah, these newfangled computerized models. Back in my day, we had CRANKS that we had to oil and turn down.
The customers answer was like mine. I just know to drive the car. Knows nothing about the parts or any other things about the car. If something happens with it, it is very difficult for me to explain the matter. Thank God I know them personally because we are family friends. So no worries. If I need to meet with someone else, I don’t know what I will do. He tried to teach me some main parts and its function, but of no use.

It seems he is repairing his car.The cartoon drawn and the message conveyed is great.
you are funny with this approach. I will read more about it and I will be back with some reviews.
