Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 09, 2020

Likely a big social status thing in Athens at the time.

Are their names all Bruce?

That’s easy. Just spend about three weeks indoors.

I am forced to ask that ultimate philosophical question, “Why?”

An Ancient Greek ad for “Coppertone” sun tan lotion.

The start of the bronze age..

You can always dress left and even things up.

Greeks had no problem getting an overall tan. The original Olympic games we conducted with naked athletes. History records Archimedes running through the streets of Syracuse dripping wet and naked shouting “Eureka!” The local inhabitants looked at him not because he was naked but more like, “Well, there he goes again!”

His idea is half baked…

First known wearing of boxer shorts.

The question is: Is the torso half-tanned, or half-pale?

If you wear your toga over the right shoulder does that mean you bat from the other side of the plate?

Have you given a lot of thought to this?

Whitey-tighties limited edition.

No left-handed philosophers then?

Get dressed or go Homer.

How do you get rid of a tan by wearing less?

Hey Bruce, sing the philosophers song.

I guess to cure the eventual pandemic mask tan line would require masking up like the Princess Bride’s Dread Pirate Roberts.
