Safety sign ‘slo-boys’ achieve comic strip fame

Remember the traffic safety signs we told you about recently? The gaggle of them on NW 73rd St. just west of Greenwood Avenue got some drivers steamed, while others appreciated the heads-up to slow down.

Well, we just got a note from Etta, who tells us her husband, Marc, sent photos to Bill Griffith, creator of the comic strip Zippy the Pinhead. Seems he was so inspired, he created today’s comic strip about the “slo-boys,” as seen in today’s Seattle P.I.
