Dave Coverly (born 1964) is the creator of the single-panel comic Speed Bump.
Coverly took a year off from graduate school, and during that time he was an art director for a public relations firm and an editorial cartoonist for the Battle Creek Enquirer.
His work appeared in Esquire, The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times and USA Today.
After Creators Syndicate picked up his untitled cartoon panel in 1994, it was given the title Speed Bump and, a year later, it was running in more than 90 papers.
Dave and Chris Coverly live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with their children, Alayna and Simone.
