Here’s this month’s “Pen Avenue,” my cartoon for Print, Pittsburgh’s East End newspaper:
I assume Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey got a great deal on speed humps, because it seems like they’re on every street in the East End now. Does Ollie’s sell speed humps?
Also, calling them “speed humps” rather than “speed bumps” makes me laugh. Because “hump.” Mentally, my age is Beavis and Butt-Head. Hump. Huh huh huh.
Did you know? In England, they call them “Sleeping Policemen.” Which is pretty damn morbid, when you think about it.
Print is not available online; you can only read it in (what else?) print. It’s available at Giant Eagle and other stores in Pittsburgh’s East End, or subscribe on the website.
