Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for January 20, 2022

A well-rested superhero is a good thing.

No, bedbugs sleep for 16 hours and are awake for only 8 hours – the opposite of people.

Me too. But I’m retired.

Where can I find that bedbug?

I could use a solid night’s sleep, any day!!!

The real superpower is sleeping through the night without having to get up to use the loo.

Holy hibernation.

I would like either of their powers; the ability to sleep well or the ability to be in perfect physical shape without having to workout.

A whole lot less destructive then the other superheros.

And he doesn’t suck blood?

Yeah, lucky

Then I bite people all over…

If he had actually been bitten by a bedbug, he would have been scratching his welts all night long. And I don’t want to even think about radioactive welts.
