Oh pfft, I sleep while I’m driving all the time! I’ve only ever been in about thirteen accidents in my life, which I’m pretty sure is just below average at the most. Although I do sometimes find odd things stuck to the front, like bicycles and fences and the occasional limb, but that’s normal, right?
LOL. If I owned a Vespid that second panel would be me, unless I drove at night. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t actually own any wheeled conveyances. 😀
There’s a job I could do! I’m one of those insufferably cheerful morning people. *Awaits the boos and hisses to subside.* I don’t even NEED coffee to wake up and be happy. *Endures more groans and dirty looks.*
Yaaaay, sunrise! Good morning, chirping birds! Hello pink-tinged clouds… OW! Hey! If you night owls are going to throw tomatoes at me, don’t make it the green ones. They sting!
Meh. Been up for half an hour now. Doesn’t the day usually start at 4:30 AM?
Dave… I worry about you.
Pash…. Ha! Yah! What you need is a Vespa with a sidecar! … and a driver.
Pete… I won’t throw things at you… I admit that I am more cheerful after the first cup, I am mostly a cheerful morning person. I am certainly not a cheerful night owl.
Crow… yes, but you are a “needs less sleep” kinda guy…. and for that, I will throw things at you! Lucky you got wings.
A few years ago, I had a manager who was all perky, all the time, or so I thought (we’re talking scary levels of perkiness)… Then, one morning, I was there when she opened the store in the morning, and she was dragging like the rest of us. Just a few minutes later – not even long enough to brew a cup of coffee and drink it – she was back to her usual, supercharged self.
Hmm.
Astragali: “It’s SHOWtime!” (Line from “All That Jazz”) … seems suspect.
brig… Nice disclaimer…Kid’s do not attempt sleep driving on your own, professional stunt double used on a closed course, no pink Vespids were harmed in the making of this strip.
I am absolutely dumb-founded about anyone’s ability to wake up and arrive at work 15 minutes later, well, except for home-based telecommuters, and even they are doubtful.
I love the jumping alarm clock, the bluish night-time tint of R’s hair, the sunrise, the shoelaces, Spill’s swirls, the backwards tag and the sock. Simple pics yet detail rich. No headlight though.
Pete… The green ones fry (grill) up nice. Mmm.
Wow…Randie makes the ‘grunge look’ HOT again!
