China Comic -- Crossing the Street

[sushusketches]

This one was a long time in coming. One of the first things that I wanted to talk about was navigating the streets of China, but it took me a while to get the "right angle" on it in my head. There's 74 people and many vehicles. But I'm not that great at drawing the vehicles. Please pretend that everyone is in the right perspective and scale.

When I showed this to my friend in China, she thought that I was saying that Chinese people aren't civilized law-abiding citizens. It was only when I showed her the scarcity of people and activities on the US streets via Google Street view that she had a better appreciation of the more general differences.

See if you can spot --
- Me
- Jono
- Umbrella
- Two girls holding hands (because that's what girls do in China)
- A whole family (Mom, dad, baby) on a moped
- People with their shirt tucked under their armpits
