Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for December 31, 2020

And don’t telegraph your punch.

That looks fun to watch.

3rd rule: Only invisible boxing allowed.

That should be a sign and not a word balloon unless it is made of cardboard.

Actually, he should be miming it, but we need to give the cartoonist a break on this one.

…and by saying that, you just broke the first rule of mime club. Plus, by talking at all, you broke the first rule of miming in general.

No one would care!

Dave Speed Bump Coverly is the first person ever to talk about Mime Club. Boy, is he in [SSSshhhhhh!]

Ah, an invisible boxing match.

Ahhhhh! You’re talking about mime club!

At the Mime Club, “Mums” the unspoken word.

" !"

No, it should be “you don’t talk AT mime club.”

Can you mime about mime club?

Hahahaha!

The gestures from the excited crowd were deafening!

There’s a hush, all over the town…

Marcel Marceau was a hero in the French Resistance, helping Jews escape to safety. So he has plenty of good karmic capital. On the other hand, he popularized mime.

If you understand, nod your head.

Pass this cartoon around on the ‘Net and it’ll be a mime meme.

LEARN THE WORDS.

Of course you don’t!

I even get agitated at mimes in cartoons!

I’ve heard that real fistfights are eerily quiet.

Clearly no rule against shirts and shoes.

That goes without saying.

Can’t actually hit each other when they’re all stuck inside invisible boxes…

I’m not talking!

That goes without saying, doesn’t it? Dang, now I’m really confused.

I thought Mimes didn’t talk?

The best new rule tide will be splitting MIME into Michigan vs. Maine in zip code trials.
