Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 09, 2024

Unless you are reading something while walking or driving then you will bump into a few things.

How?

This was long before people started slamming into lamp posts etc because they’re reading stuff off their phone.

Reading is Fundermental, of course.

There are plenty of people so engrossed in reading their cellphones that they continually bump into things!

Well she’s not wrong on that one.

I don’t get this one. Next.

I think you’re about to learn about reading the room, Sally.

I write banned books

If she did bump into things, she wouldn’t get hurt very much because she’s no a speed reader.

With cell phones today, knowing how to read causes people to bump into things.

Low Bridge….she didn’t specify you had to be walking, when you bumped into things.

The TV ads indicate that some new cars now have collision avoidance systems — Perhaps cell phones could add an app to repurpose the front facing camera to flash a warning over the screen if something is approaching ahead.

2nd panel, yes, otherwise you wouldn’t know what the comic strip characters are saying.

They put the Pull or Push sign on doors ….. just to see how many people “WILL” try ……. just the opposite ……. to see if it’s true …. ;)

As Mandrake the Magician would say… “?!?”

And so it turns out that all the warning signs and labels which litter our world today are not a sign of society’s decay?

Unless you’re reading your smart phone while walking down the street.

I.e.: Objects in the mirror are nearer than they appear

Sally tends to squirm and spasm when her concentration is not held on script while passing a big one on the Charlie Brown throne…

What does bumping into things have to do with reading

You can’t read a sign that says “DETOUR” and sail over a cliff…..
