You Can Put Maple Syrup On Whatever You Want

A man is sitting in a chair reading a newspaper when a loud KE-RASH!! startles him. He runs to the front door to see his wife, I guess, standing on the stoop holding a steering wheel from a car. "Now, when I tell you what happened, you have to promise not to laugh," she says.
May 17, 1966
One thing I love about these old strips from the 1960s are all the "women amirite?" scenarios we will definitely see. This is the second women driving strip in just a year. At least this lady's head didn't go through the steering wheel. Not that it could...

Gladys is sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in a bathrobe and curlers in her hair. Wilberforce is standing next to the table. "I'm up early and feeling ambitious today," Gladys begins "Which would you prefer for breakfast--French toast, pancakes, or waffles?" "I don't care. Any of those would be fine with me," Wilberforce says. "As long as I can pour maple syrup on them."
Better make it quick. It's 7:00 and Wilberforce has to be at school at 8:35.

Is Brutus already gone? Brutus doesn't get French toast/pancakes/waffles? I guess this is to make up for all the times Wilberforce misses dinner.
