Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for February 10, 2020

Ooh, that’s gonna be expensive.

Now he’ll have to go to Britain to observe a Tory.

I love it when I see a joke I’ve never seen before.

He should have listened!

I sure hope that it didn’t fall on anyone.

The first clue was it rattled when raised….clink clink

Same guy who helped design the original Hubble.

…mmm…let’s have a closer look at that…

He wasn’t very observant.

We didn’t have the right screwdriver, and no one here knows how to work one.

“Let’s go with plan ‘B’. Erase our names from the lab sheets and let’s go grab a beer!”

There aren’t that many strips that have me laughing the way this one did. Bravo, Mr. Coverly!

Dang, and she almost had her top off!

Insurance and an upgrade.. the plan is working.

Looks like he’s trying to scope out the problem.

“Can we get a replacement???”

The telescope is down.

Down how?

Down there.

Somehow, the intern or lab assistant ( whatever she is) will be fired over this.

I don’t get it. Something that fit that wide base fell through that narrow slit?

ASTRONOMER: “I’ll stay here. Just close the panels.”

ASSISTANT: “Oh, come now — it’s nothing to lose your head over.”
