Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for November 07, 2011

I once shared a public-speaking engagement with a guy who ran a vermiculture magazine. How do you follow a guy who’s been talking about worms and soil and icky slimy stuff? You stand up and say “Hola my lovelies! I’m Queen Carmen Slugana, and I’m here to talk to you about funding our new library!” Only thing slimier than a slug is a politician, and I was sort of both…

A roach yes,worm,not yet.

Yuk! Too early to be so grossed out!

I hope he left something for the early bird.

sorry, I haven’t

The early, early bird gets both the worm and the coffee.

He’s not the ‘bluebird being happy… He’s ’ Bobby Day’s Rockin Robin…

another strip this morning showed caffeinated breakfast cereal. there might be a product here. “energy” breakfast bars. : /

“This coffee tastes like mud!”(sees worm)“Oh. It is mud.”

It’s a tequila mockingbird.

That’s my reaction to coffee, with or without the worm.

If I saw something like that so early in the morning, I’d have to puke!

True story, found a spider in my coffee pot yesterday morning. Yuck.

That’s my alcoholic uncle. He has a thing for worms….he’s even got a few of his own…….
