Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 08, 2024

Chill…

Maybe a blank sign would be good too.

Look! It’s AIPAC!

AKA “The Silent Majority”.

The militant apathy party.

Anyone remember the prayer to St. Jude?

I wonder who they found to draw their signs…

A true inactivist would still be in bed!

The lazy majority. They wouldn’t bother to make signs!

I’m with you.

Stop that!

I think they should all have their signs on the ground, just leaning against their legs — while they stare and scroll phones and sip their Starbucks.

There are some (perhaps many) activists who would do well to heed that “Settle Down” sign – or at least the rest of us (the rest of the world) would be better off if they just would settle down.

The same people who later ask, “Why didn’t someone do something?”

Or as Aaron Rodgers says….RELAX!

In the 1960s, Jules Feiffer did some strips portraying activists for the Radical Middle. Their philosophy: “Bold times call for bold answers. Within reason. In a manner of speaking. More or less.”

They were kicked out of Ukraine.

We need a lot more of these.

Depending on what you are talking about the worst that can happen can be very bad.

Keep calm and carry on.

That was the demographic that put tRump in office in 2016.

Yep, the modern generation of kids these days.

They’ve taken too many chill pills.

Like these people could be motivated to create signs.

Yup that’s me, take a breath and stop acting like 2 petty political parties talking points are the only points of view available. No misery for me thank you, that’s why I love the funny papers, you remember those right ? Happy Thursday !

What happened to the “Whatever—” guy?

Mas Que Nada. It’s a classic samba, and a philosophy, all in one…

During the Iraq war I would join in peace protests with a sign I made that read, “Fight Apathy Not Wars”. A couple of young people asked me, what’s apathy? There’s your problem!

A former boss of mine would say It is what it is to bring an end to discussing a topic I’d brought up to improve something that the higher ups would deem a dealbreaker.
