It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
Thanks for putting a new comic on the website.
Insensitive stereotyping!!!
Funny, that’s how Floridians felt about the yankee snowbirds in winter.
I’m no longer from Florida. I lives here now and have the pale lily white skin to prove it.

As a reformed Floridian, I have to note that it always seemed the cars from Ohio that were the biggest menace (I thought their license plate motto at one time said it all, “Seat Belts Fastened?”), but they were eclipsed by Michigan at some point. I do not recall ever hearing anyone rail against a “damn North Carolina driver.” I’ll add that as a Florida driver (I learned it there and drove there from 1971 till 2000), I am hopeless at driving in the snow. As a result, I just don’t do it. On the other hand, you lot aren’t so spiffy at driving in the rain — something you have to deal with in Florida if you’re ever going to do anything.
