Speed Bump hits the mark again!
From the cartoons I've posted in this blog one might gather that I prefer wry, off-beat humor. And they'd be right. I greatly miss The Far Side by Gary Larson, but Dave Coverly's Speed Bump makes an excellent follow-up with it's own quirky style. Like Larson's work, it uses one panel and a simple idea that turns reality a bit askew of normal or make the reader wonder what reality is in the first place.
Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes often did the same thing with a consistent cast of characters in a usually multi-panel treat that also found humor in human nature and the family. A few of the collections published over the years can be found in several rooms of my house.
