Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for April 27, 2018

A young George Hamilton makes his mark.

It’s not gold, but it’s not bad.

His second cousin has a horse named “Silver”.

All of that must make taking a leak a bit awkward.

This must have happened in the Bronze age.

And then there’s his distant relative in the fertilizer business.

There’s a lot to be said for alloys.

So he’s the one responsible for all those ugly babyshoes of the past!

King Midas’ third cousin finally settled down and “Then Came Bronzeson”

If everything Midas touched turned to gold, why did his clothes not change to gold?! Similarly, if the third cousin turns everything to bronze with his touch, his clothes should also be bronze. And while I am at it, how can they eat anything if everything turns to gold or bronze? Those are all the things I thought about when I first heard these stories. I know: I am weird.

Uh, isn’t that the Burger King?

Must be his “third cousin”…

Weird…is he feeling bouquet?

“Hey! That bust wasn’t yours to bronze!”
