Dave Coverly admits there is no overriding theme, no tidy little philosophy that precisely describes what Speed Bump is about. "Basically," he says, "if life were a movie, these would be the outtakes."

These "outtakes" now appear in over 400 newspapers and websites, including the Washington Post, Toronto Globe & Mail, Detroit Free Press, Chicago Tribune, Indianapolis Star, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Cincinnati Enquirer, New Orleans Times-Picayune, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Vancouver Sun, Baltimore Sun, and Arizona Republic. In 2000, the first Speed Bump book was published, "Speed Bump: A Collection of Cartoon Skidmarks" (Andrews McMeel). More recent books include "Speed Bump: Cartoons for Idea People" (2004, ECW Press), which was named Humor Book of the Year in independent publishing by Foreword Magazine, and "Just One %$#@ Speed Bump After Another" (2005, ECW Press), which was an Honorable Mention in the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
