Every single-panel comic strip is a pleasure to view because of one image with a clever punchline, and Dave Coverly is the one who is an expert in it. He is a cartoonist well known for his Speed Bump comic strip. It is a one-panel cartoon with smart and hilarious comments on many different kinds of real-life topics, including animal and human behavior differences.
Speed Bump Cartoons
Dave Coverly possessed artistic skills from a young age. He drew cartoons and comics throughout his school years. Dave Coverly is an award-winning artist. He says that the path to becoming a syndicated cartoonist is never easy. Before finding success with Speed Bump, it required him improving his skills, sending his work to different publications, and getting rejected.
Before the internet, the only way for him to get a viewership for his single-panel drawings was to make them distributed, which was his dream. He continued to receive rejection letters for an eighth year. In 1994, Creators Syndicate extended an offer to hire him. Newspapers all over the nation began publishing my work when he came up with the title Speed Bump. Since he was young, it has been his greatest dream.
