Yeah, that's right. I have a vague memory of an article in Popular
Mechanics about someone building one. I think they might have published
plans for it, even, as they did back then. Quite a challenge to make
something like that! I suspect it must have had a single castering wheel
hidden underneath fore or aft.

Nope. Those things had two smaller wheels that ride inside
each tire. The main tires have no inner sidewalls, and the actual
suspension is a bar that reaches into the inside of the main and has
two small wheels on each end of it that ride on the inside of the
mains' treads. They have a wheelbase of 10" or so, enough to keep the
machine upright. Fools lots of people. The flattish-looking main tires
give the game away to anyone with any mechanical knowhow.
A guy here in our area built one and drives it in the local
parades. Has hydrostatic drive, too. Runs the smaller wheels.

Found it. This your guy?

Looks like probably only one was made.

In B.C., my fave was "Curls".

I have one of Pogo's later strips framed. In it he muses on the
prospect that the world won't end "...with a bang, but a wither"

Guess I was too young for it and never got the pogo habit. It was
serialised, wasnt it?

If you guys just want to set around and kill time talking about any topic
that come into your head, maybe you all need CB radios.

This is an aviaition group for pilots.

More or less. Walt Kelly would get on a theme and carry it on for a
few days or weeks.

of themselves.
Maybe that's what wider usenet in general is for.

OK. She was just cute girl ( as opposed to the fat one?)

it somewhere. I might have a look.
