Was. Sadly, he left us with all of the Busy Town books he had to write and illustrate in 1994. But he left a wonderful legacy.
A pig driving a hot dog is kinda gruesome if you think about it.
It's all beef.
Oh, that's fine, because there aren't any cow people in Richard Scarry's works.
Oh. Drinking milk has gotta be awkward, too!
The cows drink pig milk. 😉
It's called pilk.
Lmao! "Deloinkful"
What are your thoughts on an Ouroboros but the front half is a pig and the back half is a hotdog?
That sounds delicious!
Well fam have I got a treat for you, this is the drawing I made for my first tattoo:
Boaroboros

Ever heard of the Tony Hawk blood skateboard? (Or skateboards? I dunno.)
"Hotdog car isn't science fiction, it's science fact."
~Oscar Meyer, probably
“To beef frank, hotdog car isn’t science fiction, it’s science fact.”
Thank you for putting the correct quote.
Richard Scarry is a GOAT of children's fantasy.
Quite literally, sometimes!

Isn't the concept of a pig driving a hot dog kinda low key horrifying?
No worse than my Honda Spinal AcCord
In the original Disney Three Little Pigs cartoon, the third pig has paintings of sausages and ham on his wall with labels under them like "uncle" and "grandmother."

I mean we technically do have the hot dog car in real life, so that's neat

I did not expect to see Lowly the worm on Lemmy today. Nice.
Lowly's brown and that guy's green. What, you're saying all worms look alike??
Oh shit. Sorry for my inadvertent wormism. I haven’t seen the guy in like 40 years!
All my homies love lowly the worm 🥰
Wow that's a blast from the past.
This... is not how I imagined the Apple car to look like...
The lawsuit is still pending.
BEHOLD! THE FUTURE IS NOW!!
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.

Then the car turned itself into a pickle! Funniest shit I've ever seen!
I had a giant Richard Scarry book when I was little, that was the shit
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.

Cars with electric motors can be any shape. I am appalled that there is not a pattywagon for sale

I wanted Lowly's apple car so badly when I was a kid.
I have nipples, Greg... Can you make me into a car?
You can drive anything with nipples.
I mean I guess, but I find it easier to drive with my hands.
I know I've seen this book in primary school but I can't remember the title
“The Busy World of Richard Scarry”
If Richard Scary released these today, would it be called "Bussy Town?" 🤔
