Thank you for your thoughtful response.

I have to admit I had my doubts too. I could have just put these words over the Kombucha Girl meme, and called it a day. Then it would not be a comic.

But by the simple act of redrawing the meme, I get to claim it's a comic.

Words and images, paired together, in a way where each hopefully adds something to the other that it doesn't provide on its own...

Thank you for accepting my comic <3

    Thanks. I made this. I am the artist. All credit goes to me. Gaze upon my shitty art and know that it is I, the very poster of the art, who made the work that I myself have posted.

    I only watched one of his videos, but there was a whole verse about that.

    "Any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?" he sings, over footage of cops rummaging through the jackets hanging in his closet.

    Even if safety reflectors become widely adopted- let's suppose that workers leaving the office at 5pm put one on, clubbers at midnight have them, whatever - then won't motorists come to expect to see them? And if they hit someone, people might say, "Well, she wasn't wearing safety reflectors - what do you expect?"

    Yeah, the idea of policing pedestrian outfits irks me. You don't need a license to walk. You don't need training, or to pass a test. There are no regulations written about what equipment a person must wear out in public to avoid collisions.

    Operating a motor vehicle does come with those rules and responsibilities. Including headlights!

    Besides, a lot of winter coats are mostly available in dark colours. They are fashionable, practical, and show stains less. Is someone supposed to buy an expensive second coat for walking around at night in? Stash a high-vis vest in their purse for when night falls at 5pm, and they are still out, on their way home from work?

    When I have these discussions in-person, sometimes they say, "Oh but when they dash out across the middle of a highway and they're wearing all black, even headlights don't help!" Well, of course if they are suddenly darting across the road, crossing mid-block, of course that's dangerous! It wouldn't be okay if they were wearing a suit of glowsticks! There are rules against "jaywalking," but not against wearing navy blue!

    This is the best compliment ever. I hope your day job involves inspiring youth to reach their potential and believe in themselves, and to transform their cynical self-image into optimism. Thank you.
