Dave Granlund's cartoon nails the frustration of high gasoline prices derailing summer road trips for families on limited budgets. Instead of hitting the highway in their autos, this crew opts for a stay home vacation, splashing in a backyard kiddie pool with the dog.

Tags like gasoline prices, high cost, and stay home highlight the economic squeeze, making this a relatable jab at everyday belt-tightening.
