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.
