Gnarleans: A driver’s guide

Transportation, am I right? Probably the second most universal topic of conversation with strangers, next to weather. This comic could’ve been a lot longer, but I decided to cut the jokes about construction, streetcars, ambiguous lanes (I’m looking at you, Uptown) and hurricane debris. On a side note, “hurricane debris” sounds like either an awesome or horrendous po-boy ingredient.

 

While the last panel might portray biking as an excellent solution to navigation woes, don’t be fooled. With sidewalks like an Indiana Jones set and streets more cratered than the surface of Mercury, riding a bicycle can be even more stressful than driving a car. Plus, on most days of the year you’ll probably reach your destination looking like John Goodman after a buffalo wing-eating contest. Not always a bad thing though, depending on the destination.

 

Stay afloat this weekend!
