Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for March 18, 2023

Dark roast humor.

Strong enough to wake the dead.

It brings him back to life every morning.

Maybe every body that comes in should be “tested” in this way before proceeding with the embalming process.

Nuclear coffee?

java mortis

PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON AND COVERUP MR. HOWDY!!!

Zombies aren’t really looking for brains. They’re looking for coffee.

No hair in his chest tho.

So this is how Dr. Frankenstein really did it?

Must have learned to make it in the Navy.

Excellent, Dave! More than a handful of us can relate.

That is some mighty fine coffee. ;-)

COWBOY COFFEE – been on the fire for better part of a week – just add some new grounds and a little bit more water to the pot

I don’t even drink coffee and that woke me up.

Coffee made in our shop at work could easily pass for embalming fluid.

Just needed a little pick me up.

So much for Riger Mortis!!

It may be caffeinated, but to him it’s decoffinated.

Jesus gave coffee to Lazarus?

Yes, I’ve had that coffee which would wake the dead.

But the expression “wake the dead” doesn’t mean bring them to be awake, but to hold a wake in their memory.

Still, the coffee, the coffee.

Thanks Dave, got a real good laugh on this one, the expression on his face is priceless…

It’s a real ‘perker upper’.

At least it wasn’t Worcestershire…

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read on this strip.

It was an honest mistake since they taste so much alike.

Ahh, the good stuff….

“Hello, my honey!

Hello, my baby!

Hello, my rag-time gal…”

He’ll be up all night.

This isn’t american. I’d like to have some of that coffee, too.

Alternate title: Night Of The Wide Awake Dead.

So…who had embalming fluid for breakfast?
