Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for March 14, 2010

Kick him in the knee and RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Checkout the teeth on the kid with the powder blue shirt. He could eat a ear of corn right threw a Chain-link fence.

Even the thugs are high-tech. A baseball bat will still cure bullies.

Don’t mess with him, Spike, he knows how to infect your laptop with a virus.

Kick a little higher than the knee and WALK away.

The password is SPIKEISASISSY.

PayBully?

Use your backpack as a shield/weapon & fight back. Bullies don’t quit till you bloody their nose(s). Then RUN! The fat one won’t ever catch up & the other 2 are skinny wimps.

Then go to your nearest dojo & sign up for classes - Karate, Kung Fu, Aikido, etc. They won’t mess with you again!

Hard to imagine there was ever a time when old fossils like us had NO computers, calculators, internet - did our homework with paper, pencil and pen. Trouble with the TV? Check the tubes at the Tube Checker at your local grocery store…

Dang Ushindi, you are old!

Our drug store had the tube checker. When that didn’t work, the repairman had to come out ($$$$). And the doctor used to come to your house when you were sick. And I remember using a fountain pen in the first few years of grade school. (Ball point pens were too expensive for school kids to use until Bic started making them.) And Japanese transistor radios.

And I can’t even remember what I did yesterday.

i had to google tube checker, was surprised no youtube involved

I’ve had to test and replace a few tubes at the hardware store when they burned out in the TV.

When I was growing up I was lucky to get five channels, two of them clear, and I had to look in the TV Guide to see what was on and I had to be there when they aired or miss them. And I didn’t have this Internet thing! If I wanted to stay up at night and there was nothing to watch (and there often was nothing to watch), I had to read a book for hours at time!

Yes, of course, yes! Logic, that’s the ticket, logic! We all missed that logic stuff. Still another mystery that has stumped all others has been solved by the application of superhuman intelligence. All of America can now sleep soundly.

Yes, logic. Use logic always for cartoons.
