Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 27, 2024

Kids are kids everywhere

Then to McDonalds so they can get the Happy Meals with the toys in them.

But even before THAT, restrooms!!!

Is that why there are so many Gift Shops?

One that sells toy probes.

That would be Disney World, right?

Sorry. The exit is through the gift shop. If you do that first, you’ll have to pay again to get back in.

The kids want “I Visited Earth And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt” souvenirs.

I figured they’d want the little zzojjx’s room first, after that long trip.

Oh rats I was so hoping for a great leap forward

You’ll love it, it’s called Wal-Mart.

That’s very poor discipline from the parent. They should make the little ones take over the earth before any rewards.

You took me to Earth and all I got was this lousy t shirt!

Even celestial aliens know the economy here is very good.

“ Are you taking me with you?”

“ Probe-ably.”

Do they take AstroCard and Andromedan Express?

I wonder how many light years the kids were asking “Are we there yet?”

make sure it’s duty-free!

My wife loves to stop at the gift shops/stores during our travels.

I can just see- they’re in the middle of the Orion nebula and the little on pipes up, “Mommy, I have to pee.”

You got the money, we got the stuff……

You wouldn’t want to meet Biden anyway.

Apparently they’ve been to Disney…

That alien is a good parent.

“We went to Earth and all I got was this stupid Moon rock.”

There’s one about 15 minutes by foot down that road in my back. You might find the technology primitive, but there’s even 3 different brands car dealerships on that lot.

I hope it’s better than the gift store on Mars. Shelves full of Mars bars and Milky Way bars.

It was all the Wall Drug signs in interstellar space that lured them to the Earth. You can’t travel for even one parsec without seeing dozens of them (for any aliens reading this, one Earth dozen = 12 units of something).

Where your Buc- ee’s , yippee! ;-)
