Yahoo! Maps has just added dirt roads to its navigation databases, or so it would seem from this cartoon, which recently ran in newspapers across the country. Special thanks to reader Brinke Guthrie for sending it in.

In case you’re wondering who the runner is, he’s Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves. “Brevity” co-creator Guy Endore-Kaiser explains, “As a die-hard Mets fan, it is my sworn duty to make fun of Chipper any chance I get.”

If you dig this kind of humor, get your hands on “Brevity: A Collection of Comics by Guy and Rodd” — it’s hot off the press.

my husband, Brinke Guthrie, is noted on this page as the person responsible for sending in this cartoon. but, in all fairness, i found it in the funny papers that he, by the way, wasn’t interested in reading, cut it out and put it on our refrigerator… which in turn ultimately gave him the idea to send it in to Yahoo! so thanks to me too! :) hahaha

We’re happy to ascribe credit where credit it due! In this case, one man’s trash was our treasure! Thanks to you both.

Could you put an ‘h’ in front of the last link in this post so that when I click it my browser takes me somewhere, thanks :)
