Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 15, 2019

Somebody said “duck!” And should have said “WHALE!”

That’s one big barnacle…

The phrase “got beached” and its various relatives actually come from when a sailor lost his job for whatever reason.

could be just a tatoo..

Talk about getting lost at sea.

Oh, he was trying to sell me a story about a guy named Kirk and the future

That’s IN the belly of a whale, not ON the belly of a whale.

A whale watcher from Nineveh?

I’ll never forget the impression I got being beached….

The perils of sunbathing.

And you have a souvenir from the beach.

And now I hear this little voice saying something about “chasing me round perdition’s flames…”
