fyi, people on campus have been complaining how our new mall (big open walkway thing) doesn't have a bike lane and how incredibly dangerous bicycles are for everyone. This cartoon is in response to that.
I also have a few names from other sources for consideration:
Ally (if short for Alexandria) or Jane are approved names for the girl
Ted (Theodore), Zach, or Joel are all possible names for the dude. With Ally and Ted, they both have names shortened from much longer pretentious names, so they go together. Joel just strikes me as a name I could eventually build a sympathetic character out of (believe it or not, I would like to make these characters somewhat deep and interesting.... eventually)
EDIT: I thought up thiscartoon before reading Jeph's strip, I swear! Nevertheless, it's cool how the two synced up. Two-wheeled vehicular assaults are reaching epidemic proportions, apparently
