Here are two more funny Speed Bump cartoons from Dave Coverly. These deal with dogs begging for food, but from two different perspectives—that of humans and of dogs. I liked these so much, Dave sent me copies of them for posting. This first one came out March 28, 2014. The second one, July 3, 2019, which I posted a month and a half ago.
When I first saw and posted the begging cartoon below, I asked Dave how it came about. He replied: “I don’t recall an exact moment that the idea hit me, as info tends to settle somewhere in my head and doesn’t percolate until later when I’m in my studio and I turn my work brain on. But at the time this was drawn, our pup was still with us, and she was very food oriented. Easy to train thanks to this, but also could get a bit obnoxious with the begging.”
Dave went on to say it was entirely possible that his wife had said, “can I get you anything” and that he “made a mental note to convert that into a dog’s world!” And he certainly did! He turned what must’ve felt like a human’s frustrated sarcastic remark into a sincere request from a dog’s perspective. I laugh every time I see this cartoon, it’s that funny.
