@warandpeas "The stick *hurts*, Glenda. It hurts. I don't want to walk bow-legged for two days."
@warandpeas The image caption/alt text mentions a third witch flying on a hoverboard? Where did that come from?
@trilader
Also mentioning one on a "scooter/moped" which actually is a vacuum cleaner (the canister style).
@warandpeas
@nrdblkn @trilader @warandpeas ... and the disapproving witch is presumably not "young", at least not compared to the "kids these days" she's complaining about.
@warandpeas i actually want to be roomba witch that looks so fun

A black and white cartoon. A witch is standing on the ground, looking disappointedly at two other witches who fly on different kinds of vacuum cleaners (a modern robot vacuum cleaner, and an old-fashioned tubal one), in the night under crescent moon. The caption reads "Kids these days... Don't even know how to drive the stick anymore."

@warandpeas "A black and white cartoon showing witches with different modes of transportation under a crescent moon. One presumably older witch stands on the ground looking up disapprovingly, two witches fly through the sky. One witch is sitting on a tow-behind vacuum, riding it like a scooter/moped. The witch is standing on a robot vacuum. The caption reads: 'Kids these days... Don't even know how to drive the stick anymore.' The cartoon is signed "War & Peas"."
@warandpeas
Why is the alt text not quite right? Is that an AI written alt text?

@swope Sounds like it, it enumerates three flying witches.

@warandpeas

@warandpeas I grew up in the β€˜70s and my older sibs had a collection of books, one of which had a drawing on the cover of a witch riding a canister vac like your drawing. It broke my 5 year old brain and I’ve never recovered.
@warandpeas I imagine a witch riding a Roomba with her arms down at her sides like those wild electric unicycles you occasionally see people zooming on.

@warandpeas
I was waiting for

@warandpeas This is one of your best! 😁 🧹

@warandpeas

2 things spring to mind here...

A stick would be a millenial antitheft device.

Secondly, Roomba is going broke and the devices may get bricked. Which would make it a bit uncomfortable if that happens mid flight 😎
