The strip's title brings to mind the classic "Starman," when he insists he's observed enough to be able to drive: "Red means stop; green means go; yellow means go very fast"!
I like how Lamont's peripheral vision suddenly notes the cops sitting there.
Heh, excellent.
I love the way the story is told without lots of words. Let the images do the talking!
@Don: I agree with BOTH of your posts. 🙂
Awesome cop.
IS landing in the crosswalk "safe?"
I'd call it a tazeable offense…
Apparently the copy thinks it's "safe" because he's stopped in the crosswalk, too. I see a lot of people who have no idea where they are supposed to stop at an intersection–it's one of my pet peeves.
And another pet peeve is software that "helps" me type, turning "cop" into "copy" in the previous post 🙂
@Don: Agree, but this one, w/ BOTH cops' faces, is of my all-time favorites! In retrospect, now, the "umpire cop," in looks & gag, reminds me of Bradley Whitford's great new character, Dan Stark, in The Good Guys. You'll be happy to know that, at least in one tiny, speed trap-dependent muni in my area, I was once ticketed for stopping (full stop, no roll) too far into an intersection of side streets (w/ no painted crosswalks, btw), even tho I was hewing painstakingly to just BELOW the painful, posted speed limit of 20 mph, w/ nary another car, nor bike, scooter nor a pedestrian in sight!
All in my family have had considerable experience as carless pedestrians at various times thru the yrs, so we share your pet peeve (along w/ walk light systems that force us to share the micro-second green light w/ the other street's turn arrow.) My brothers harbor a longtime fantasy of walking THROUGH the back seat of drivers who stop IN our crosswalk!
