A Round and a Roundy: The Longest Distance Between Two Points

12:01 AM EDT on June 2, 2021

Cartoon: Bill Roundy

This week's cartoon is more of a meme of something that's been bugging national treasure cartoonist Bill Roundy for a while.

In this town, car drivers can get from Point A to Point B simply by plugging the address into Google Maps and following the straight line. But the same isn't true for cyclists who want to be safe from those drivers, as Roundy illustrates.

All of Bill Roundy's cartoons are archived here.
