Comic #42 : "Road Safety"
Monday 27th May 2013
When I go out cycling wearing my hat and high vis clothing I do feel like a dork, but I take comfort in the fact that if I was hit by a bus travelling at 60mph I would come out of it unscathed.
I originally intended to do the first frame without the think bubble, but testing it on friends they said it wasn't necessarily that obvious that the guy was insulting him because of his safety clothing. Unfortunately, it means the comic comes across like the sort of road safety adverts the government promote, but then a lot of the ones we get in the UK have a very dark sense of humour behind them, like this one.
