Cartoon 1

My first driving cartoon was inspired by Aaron Takahashi's self witnessing report. Aaron believes that drivers like you and I feel that we are never at fault in anything we do, at least when we are driving. So, what happens when we do have an accident, we blame everything else, it can't possibly be our fault, we are flawless drivers.

This cartoon shows a driver who has just hit a sign post. The officer who arrived on the scene seems to be a bit confused by the gentleman's explanation. Since, of course, the accident couldn't have possibly been his fault he is blaming the post.

Now because this is a picture you can see the confusion on the face of the police officer. You can also see that the driver is seriously trying to blame the sign post. He is pointing, trying to explain what happened. You can clearly see the post in the middle of his bumper. The essence of the moment can only be captured by a picture. It would have been difficult to capture the feeling with plain old words.
