Scott, this has to be the best strip you have done so far. By no means the funniest or the cleverest, but probably the most worryingly weird that you have done and that is the reason I read these anyway. I deliberately didn't have children just in case this sort of thing happened and now it looks like I was right.
Either you just put this up or im just...*deep breath* First!...i am now happy with life. Panel 4 had me in stitches..best part of my day over and done with...damn. back to work. keep it up Scott!!
Scott, it's time for you to buy Cypress Gardens and be the first person to make it over into a successful tourist destination. You'll just have to hand out clown noses to the squatters and you're good to go.
On an unrelated note, did anyone else catch White Collar last night? When they did the smoking jacket gag, all I could thing of was Scott in the fez hat and smoking jacket!
Too late. They already did this when I was a kid - It was called Joyland, and it was in Wichita, Kansas. Every time the roller coaster ran, you could see pieces of wood dropping off the framework. Last time I was there in high school, I went on the bumper boats, and some guy's boat sank in the middle of the pool. It was kind of interesting watching him swim back to shore and pull himself out to yell at the people taking tickets.

I would totally go to this hypothetical abandoned-theme-park-themed theme park. Just sayin'.
That is genius, you'd be a rich man.
I, for one, would pay good money never to be taken there.
Excellent! Panels 3 and 4 are both great. I wonder if such a park could really work......?
So, you've basically just invented the County Fair?
I'm not a fan of amusements parks, but this I would pay for. If there was cheap booze.
FWIW, I think it's an awesome idea.
Panel 4 is the essence of every idea I ever have.
I was just thinking of a hypothetical business earlier tonight!! My god, Omnipresent Man, you've done it again!
Man, I'd love to have been to "Abandoned Land" when I was a kid.
squatters and gang members,, I see you've met my family. What about food concessions? Dumpster diving?
I actually want this park to exist...
Woah! wait? Your car sparks? That is 10 times cooler than the Abandoned Land idea. You should Manufacture car-sparklers instead.

Haha, loved panel 3. Its always panel 3 that gets me
Oh man, I so want to go to this theme park. Someone make it happen!
i'd absolutely go to abandoned land! have you considered getting venture capital for the start-up?
Panel 3 is all kinds of awesome.

Yeah, I have to say... that's actually an awesome idea. I'd definitely be interested.
Oh, Lord no! I just laughed and laughed. You are in fact omnipresent man to my funny bone. Thank you for another great strip.

There's an amusement park near me that has an old wooden roller coaster specifically designed and maintained to look rickety. It's pretty awesome.
I want to go to Abandoned Land.
I'd go to Abandoned Land!! Particularly if you made it more post-apocalyptic, and added a Thunderdome!!
