Down and Derby Page #3

if you can't run with the big dogs,

you'd better stay on the porch.

What's that

supposed to mean?

Winning Pinewood Derby cars

are made by dads,

the "big dogs."

But, that's not fair!

Dads are only supposed to supervise.

That's what Mrs. Davis told us.

And she's right!

But, life isn't fair.

So, what I need to know is,

"little dog",

do you want to make your own car

and take last place?

Or do you want

a "big dog" to make it

and kick some butt?

I just thought

it would be more fun

to make my own car.

Okay.

Come on, baby.

I respect that.

But, if you need any help,

you just let me know, okay?

Okay.

Hey!

Thanks, Dad.

Anytime, pal.

Hey, Shaquille!

Your grandpa has a power saw

in his garage.

You can use that to cut it.

Well, do you think

he'd help me?

Of course he'd help you.

No, no, K-Kim!

Kim, no no no.

No, I-I-I-I do not

want your dad getting involved!

He doesn't have a clue

about how to...

build one of these things.

And I don't want Brady

around all that power machinery!

He needs supervision.

From his dad.

Like it says in the manual.

M-may I sit there,

please?

Mom?

Oh.

It's okay.

So... thank you.

I'll just...

Okay.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

No, we're, uh, we're fine.

Yeah, we've got this covered.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, just us guys.

Okay, okay, thank you.

All righty.

No, no, no, no.

Come on, Dad!

Let me, let me,

let me just, uh,

let me just look it over.

This is complicated.

Big Jimmy, what's going on?

Phil!

I'm leaving.

You... you have a good day.

I-I love you.

Love you, too.

Bye-bye.

Yeah...

it's him!

Okay...

Phil Davis.

Ah, that's, uh... hi.

Thank you.

That's...

Oh, it's a, potato masher,

slicer-dicer deal.

You've see it on channel 3.

Uh, Jimmy...

it's supposed to be Big Jimmy!

Sorry, Big Jimmy.

Angel joined a book club.

Oh.

Yeah.

I guess you must be, uh,

Blaine... Moons... man?

That's right, yep.

Shoe trees.

Okay.

Now, if I could get you guys

to, uh, sign right here...

Thanks.

Derby freaks!

Hi, Blaine, you...

doing a little project?

Picture frames.

Hey.

Hey, Big Jimmy.

Hey, howdy.

Looks like it's neighbor day.

I just saw Blaine.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Says he's working on his deck.

What are you here for?

Ah, Kim, you know, Kim...

she's, uh, she's been

just nagging me, you know...

I got to organize the... the

gar... I'm building some shelves.

Uh, what about you?

Uh, well, I got the week off,

so I thought I'd start working

on the fence, you know.

You know what they say.

"Good fences make good

neighbors", huh?

Yeah, okay, all right.

Listen, I gotta go

all right?

I got a lot to do.

Hey...

Good luck with those shelves.

Shelves... oh, yeah,
