Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for January 22, 2025

This could be a fatal standoff!!!

Is this what happens when you fall in love?

Reminds me of the pair of overly polite gophers from my childhood cartoons. No, after you. Oh no, I insist, after you.Ad infinitum.

Shy Diving!

A whole new definition to Lover’s Leap.

This cartoon is correctly named. There will be speed then bump.

These are their final opening statements.

SPLAT.

Together…forever

Their first and last argument.

I don’t think this is how you fall in love.

It’s all cutesy till someone get street-pizzaed.

You don’t need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute if you want to skydive twice.

Thus realizing too late that “falling” in love can prove fatal.

this will not end well

Well at least thems will goes from this world holding hands together.

This is the kind of thing that can end a relationship!

Someone make a decision! You’re fixing to go splat!

Basically equivalent to, “You say goodbye first. No, you say goodbye first.”

…plop…

Talk about taking the plunge!

They never should have closed their eyes but without eye protection I suppose keeping their eyes closed is ‘normal’.

( I realize this was originally a parachute joke.)

How about? “You pull mine and I’ll do you”..

It’s not the fall that’s dangerous. It’s that quick stop at the bottom.

when we first dated my wife decided to do that telephone thing “you hang up first” that all her friends were doing. So I called her and we had our conversation and she said her line of course expecting me to say “No you hang up first”—-however me being me—— I just said “okay” and hung up.

Where are the sport chutes? Those shown are archaic…but they do work.

Falling in love is dangerous.

Two things fall out of the sky…

Anyone one can Sky dive without a parachute, but only once.
