Hey, if Dave Barry thinks Speed Bump is funny, who are we to argue? Syndicated to over 250 newspapers worldwide, including the Globe and Mail, Washington Post, New York Daily News, and Detroit Free Press, Coverly’s well-drawn, thoughtful cartoons have a large, loyal following of readers. Speed Bump: Cartoons for Idea People is a collection that you’re likely to read over and over, and share with others.

This compilation covers a wide variety of topics ranging from relationships to health and from work to kids — with a healthy dose of aliens and philosophy thrown in for good measure. Included are chapter introductions written by Coverly, dozens of full-page color pullouts, and oddball segues, such as drink recipes and caption contests.
