Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for December 08, 2024

Like writing.

Which is why so many turn work into a hobby and do it from home in their bathrobe.

Your perspective is wrong, Mr. Raccoon. You should think of it as getting paid to do something you love!

Well stop and eat some of it.

♫ You gotta stop, and smell the garbage ♪

♪ you gotta eat some stinky trash, every day ♪

…

Only if you let it.

I knew someone who loved playing video games and got a job testing them. Testing is very different than playing for fun. She didn’t like it nearly as much.

A hobby ceases to be a hobby once you build a P&L around it.

I used to make hand made wooden Xmas ornaments for friends/family for years.. Many said I should sell them at craft fairs. This strip says why I didn’t.

If only someone would offer me a hourly wage for my own household cleaning chores…. then I’d be much more pleasant when I was off-duty.

Put the racoons to work. Let them do something useful for a change.

and you look bad in blue

I’ll assume you’re not wasting time sniffing.

Rocket? What happened to you??? :)

There was video on Twitter some time ago of a raccoon clinging to a ladder of a trash truck from behind so it was facing out. The truck was driving down the street in a large city and was film by a woman in a car right behind it. The little trash picker found himself a new job.

if people did not waste so much food raccoons wouldnt dig thru the garbage

JOB <> FUN
