Robert Day: After the Car is Washed

We've all heard that if you wash your car it is surely going to rain. Perhaps fewer of us knew this piece of folk irony was current as early as 1931 when cartoonist Robert Day used it as the basis for a sight gag in Judge. As seen in the original, his meteorological take on this saying is rather extreme. Doggone! 

"Dawgawn, I knew something like this would happen if I washed the car."
