Reposting because I've added a kicker panel. Thanks to @schraubd.bsky.social for the suggestion!

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. Each panel shows two men: A not-wealthy looking man with shaggy hair and some stubble, and a bald man in glasses, wearing a business suit and tie. Each panel shows them at a sidewalk with grass growing in the background. PANEL 1 Shaggy is wearing a wrinkled collared shirt and jeans. Necktie is wearing a gray suit with a tie with a dot pattern. It’s bright daytime. Shaggy, with his back turned to Necktie, is looking at and poking a smartphone, and, in the helpful way people so often do in the first panel of my cartoons, talking aloud to himself. Necktie is turning to look at, and yell at, Shaggy. SHAGGY: I can’t find a job and I’m out of money… Time to google “food stamps.” NECKTIE: Food stamps are for people who are genuinely poor. If you were poor, you wouldn’t own a smartphone, would you? PANEL 2 A caption says “one week later.” From the light, it appears to be early evening. Shaggy is wearing a plaid shirt and Black pants, and has a backpack; Necktie is wearing a pinstripe suit and a tie with horizontal stripes. Shaggy is looking worried and has a hand on his chest; Necktie is sternly talking to, and pointing at, Shaggy. SHAGGY: I sold my phone, but now I’m out of money again. NECKTIE: So sell your car. No one who owns a car is poor. PANEL 3 A caption says “one month later.” The same two men, on a similar patch of sidewalk. Shaggy is sitting on the curb, slumping. Necktie looks very cheerful. SHAGGY: Now I’ve got no money for food, no phone for job hunting, and no car to get to a job! NECKTIE: Excellent! Now you’re genuinely poor! PANEL 4 The same scene, a moment later. Shaggy, looking hopeful. Necktie grins. SHAGGY: So now you’re okay with me getting food stamps? NECKTIE: Nope! TINY KICKER PANEL UNDER THE CARTOON Shaggy is talking to Barry the Cartoonist. SHAGGY: So how do I get food stamps, anyway? BARRY: Call them for an appointment, then drive to their office to apply.

I was being good! I ignored the trolls and the smug dudes who "simply don't walk mindlessly into traffic, and know where every car is when they bike, so they don't get hurt"! I saved it for the person I have a relationship with, who supports cycling but had a framing I find unhelpful as advocacy! 🙃

I wish I didn't feel like finding the right words and presenting the most compelling argument will save us.

...I may have spent 90 minutes on one Facebook comment about bicycling in cities instead of meal planning or doing the art-admin tasks I had planned 🤦

Weirdly enough, I think this works. No one is more insecure than a new ICE agent. They want to be the blonde guy in DHS’s AI Nazi posting so badly. Instead, they’ll be guarding indistinguishable suburban warehouse #16361 while inflated frogs and dinosaurs thrust in their face all day every day.

“Bicyclists should have their own paths and never cause a car to go slow.” I’m all for separated bike paths, but be real: if the bike paths are going to be used in daily life, they will eventually connect to streets that have cars on them, because you can currently drive a car to most destinations!

This cartoon got the usual bike-hate on Facebook. But even the supportive commenters seemed to assume that bicyclists have a right to ride only as long as none of them annoy or inconvenience any drivers, which is really disheartening.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. PANEL 1 A car and a pickup truck are pulled over on the side of an overpass. There’s an exit ramp with white and green stripes going across it, which in some cities indicates pedestrian and bicyclist crossings. The driver of the car, a woman in an orange top, is walking towards the driver of the pickup, who has gotten out of the truck. He's wearing a blue cap and a red tshirt. WOMAN: Hey there. I see you're pulled over. You need me to call for help?MAN: Thanks. I'm having the worst day ever! PANEL 2 A closer shot of the truck driver as he rants. His face is framed by two yellow caution signs with bicycle icons and arrows pointing to the green and white crosswalk lines. The concerned woman is behind him. MAN: I was just driving along and bam! A bike came out of nowhere! No chance for me to see it coming! Stupid bike riders think they own the road! PANEL 3 Looking worried, the man points to a dent on his truck's front grill.  MAN: I got a big truck so I'd be safe on the road — and see what happens? Just look at this ding on my truck! PANEL 4 From the ground in front of the truck, a hand comes up, forefinger raised to get attention. The woman is shocked; the man is annoyed. BIKER (weak shaky voice): Sorry to interrupt but could you call me an ambulance?MAN: Hey! It's not all about you! CHICKEN FAT WATCH Chicken fat is obsolete cartoonists' lingo for unimportant but amusing details in the art. PANEL 2: A highway sign says "Highway to Heck." The font is called "Highway Gothic."(“Highway to heck” is a reference to a Foxtrot comic. “Some songs just weren’t made for Muzak.” “Some ears weren’t, either.”) PANEL 3: The logo on the front of the truck says "Dodge SLAM."
