I should relate to Gertie's pencil-neck husband, but all I feel for him is endless contempt
Gearhead Gertie, 10/3/24

Now, I might be an Ivy League-educated coastal elitist, but the Ivy League school I attended was in fact located in the Finger Lakes, and I know that they'll just let any schmo drive on at least one NASCAR track, so I assume this is probably true elsewhere? Not going to bother researching that, I'm just saying, this panel is predicated on the idea that Gertie is doing something crazy when in fact she's doing something very normal for a NASCAR obsessive such as herself. I don't usually take sides in comic strip marital spats but her husband needs to chill out!
