Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for June 21, 2023

Politics can be polarizing.

I vetted my potential spouse’s politics while we were dating. People do change, but fortunately, we have both moved along similar paths politics-wise.

Penguins are all rock thieves.

I house sat for a couple who had moved to Canada from the Us. He was a Republican, she a Democrat. They more or less stayed off the topic.

Macaroni Penguins for sure! I’ll tempered!

i began politics as a member of the collegiate Young Democrats. during Reagan i even joined the CPA. 2020: told the wife i’d voted for Trump simply because i felt Biden was lying to us democrats. turns out trump kept some of his promises, biden hasn’t kept a single one yet, and is draining the US Treasury. tax & spend. gawd help us. bring back Ike.

They both have Trump haircuts!

My wife and I are loving, compassionate human beings. It makes sense we didn’t wind up in the party of hate.

In politics, it is ALWAYS the other party’s fault.

We’ve made it clear…at family functions, Politics are off limits!

They tend to see everything in black & white.

And yes, there are same-sex penguin couples who’ve mated for life. And they have been observed adopting orphan penguins. So sorry, haters, but you can’t base your hate on "God created male and female.”

The scientists didn’t think their relationship would ever get off the ground.

PENGUIN!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Crafty!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Dave must be on vacation (or was during the week that this week’s comics would have been drawn and submitted). Note the 2019 copyright.

In some matters, my husband and I differ quite a bit politically. We respect one another’s right to have our own opinions, even if we don’t agree.

There’s no compromising. Everything is either black or white, no gray.
