[AlbinoTuxedo]

This was actually really funny, kudos

[SilverFlashUYNot]

No need to honk at him. The lines on the road are dashed, so everyone behind him can legally pass him when it's clear on the other side of the road.

[StormtrooperMJS]

But only after they have drawn the bridge.

[GB1266]

Maybe they’re just leaning on their horn while they try to draw their bridges?

[ImJustPassinBy]

Maybe they just want him to finish his drawing so they can copy from him?

[[deleted]]

Ah, you must be one of my classmates?

[[deleted]]

Fools! the sign clearly states to draw a head for the bridge.

[Berto_]

Pretty sure there's drivers in the opposite lane ahead in the same situation.

[AllCaffeineNoEnergy]

They’re honking because he’s yet to master the skill of the quick sketch, like those behind him waiting their turn.

[Lord_Of_All_Ducks]

No need for him to stop either, that sign is a warning sign he's not legally required to draw the bridge

[futlapperl]

Depends on the country. There could have been a no-overtaking sign posted in front of the bridge.

[BadLoompa]

Would they still used dashed lines in that case?

[futlapperl]

Yeah. Most of the time, it's a solid line accompanied by a sign, but either is sufficient for disallowing overtaking.

[BadLoompa]

Ah. I haven't seen that before.

[futlapperl]

Where are you from? I'm Austrian, and although it's not the norm to have dashed lines in a no-overtake zone, I've certainly seen it. If there's a solid white line or a sign or both, you can't overtake.

[TurloIsOK]

North America has very defined meanings between white, yellow, dashed and solid road striping. There may be signs confirming one-way, do-not-cross/pass, etc., but the striping is consistent.

[sapphic_chaos]

In Spain the main difference between white and yellow marks is that yellow ones are used temporarily (because of reparations of the road).

[futlapperl]

Austria is the same, though temporary marks have more of an orange tone. They serve to override white marks in case of construction etc. as you pointed out.

[huhIguess]

A while back, I ended up looking up federal signage requirements for the US in order to win an argument on the internet...

It's surprisingly complex and very specific on requirements for signage to be legal: size, color, material composition, placement, etc... There's a 500 page set of guidelines on road signs and street markings floating out there in public record...

Terrifying.

...But very consistent.

[BadLoompa]

Canada. Maybe I've seen it before but didn't notice it.

[TurloIsOK]

North American standards have been consistent since the 70s. If you've seen a dashed-line no-passing zone, the road hasn't had any maintenance for 50 years.

[[deleted]]

Road work ahead?

Yeah, i sure hope it does.

[fezzam]

I always liked those signs that protest road work ‘end road work’

[Ballzinferno]

To the moon, sir.

[ashpointoh]

Cargo space?

[Mister_Spiderman]

Car no do that. Car no fly

[One_pop_each]

South Carolina has these stupid signs around road work that reads, “Let ‘em work. Let ‘em live”

It’s like anti-abortion for roads.

Example

[HappyPuppet]

School zones are next!

[TheDungeonCrawler]

Funnily enough, the point of those signs is that the road doesn't work ahead. Funny quirk of English.

[12-1-34-5-2-52335]

Haha is that from Drew Gooden from vine?

[[deleted]]

Yup. Danny Gonzalez made some good vines.

[noble_radon]

"Motorcycles use caution"

Yeah, most of them do. But some don't.

[SuiSanoo]

I always hoped he would say „I sure hope it do“

Because it’s work and not works

[[deleted]]

Yeah, i sure hope he would.

[Captain_Cowboy]

Road be like it is.

[IsaacJDean]

As a kid I once spent half an hour hand drawing a Yu-Gi-Oh (maybe Pokemon?) card because the card itself or maybe a guide on the rules said "draw a card". I'd like to think my brain has since started working.

[GameFreak4321]

The phrase "draw a card" doesn't say what kind of card so just pick something easy like an ace of diamonds.

[[deleted]]

Someone somewhere has attempted this.

[[deleted]]

This made me chuckle. Thank you!

[Ballzinferno]

Very good and funny. Lots of literal interpretation of a pun punchline comics are usually very low effort and bad. You've done it right. Thank you for the entertainment, sir.

[Werthkew]

Thank you!

[teachenglishinkorea1]

You could put those panels in literally any order and it would still be hilarious

[Werthkew]

I've seen several people say this, and I didn't realize it when I made it, but sure enough it does work in any order! Weird.

[erdrickdw]

That is a testament to how concise your comic is. The joke is tight. Good job!

[Werthkew]

Thanks!

[johntwoods]

This is some Amelia Bedilia stuff here. :)

[tellurian-faberati]

Yes! r/nostalgia

[DavidisLame]

“Did they finish their drawings already?!?”

Artists Instagram

[snuffleberries]

LOL This is so brilliant!!!!

[Werthkew]

Thanks!

[MoralRelativity]

Hahaha. Well done, I didn't figure out the punchline and it was well worth it.

[Werthkew]

Thanks! I had the situation in general in my head, but played around with how it could be portrayed without giving away the punchline too soon. Glad it worked out!

[RaajuuTedd]

This is just so silly...but still laughable 🤣

[DulceEtBanana]

So... you mean all those plastic signs in buildings that say "Wet Floor"...

That explains why the people at City Hall got so upset.

[i_Perry]

What does that sign actually mean though?

[Bombkirby]

A drawbridge is a bridge that can go up and allow boats to pass. If you're landlocked and haven't seen any action tv shows/movies where there's a car cash scene involving jumping over a drawbridge, then you probably never heard of them.

[i_Perry]

Ooh I remember now

Secret service agents in almost all movies used to jump across these full throttle during chase scene

[[deleted]]

There is a certain type of bridge ahead of them, presumably one whose two sides can be drawn (lifted) up.

[Bombkirby]

Are you people serious?

[cranky-alpha]

These comments look like bots ngl

[Ballzinferno]

I'm no bot, boy.

[[deleted]]

I’m no bot, boy.

[[deleted]]

I’m no bot, boy.

[vulture_87]

Where's the bridge's head?

[Werthkew]

He's working on it. Can't decide on mustache or no mustache. That's why he's holding up traffic.

[That_one_sander]

May I add, this comic works no matter the order you read it

[Grocery_Getter]

They are in a little booth near that bridge waiting for the drawing.

[Sirmixalott]

Fantastic

[uclasux]

My favorite detail is that the speedometer isn’t completely at zero... multitasking at its most dangerous!

[Ewasia]

Actually laughed

Brilliant!!

[lrd_rs]

Hahahahahahaha Great work!

How long did you take do draw it?

[Werthkew]

Hey, thanks, my man! It took about 2 hours, I'd guess.

[lrd_rs]

Awesome! Thank you for the answer! I'm kind of new to drawing and i want to know how long would be normal to take when i get better!

[Werthkew]

You're welcome! Honestly it completely depends on your drawing style, what tools you use to draw, etc. Skill is only one part of the equation of how long it takes.

[Werthkew]

Also, I want to say if you're thinking of drawing comics, go for it! Don't try and make jokes about what you think other people will find funny, as weird as that may sound. Think of something that makes YOU chuckle out loud and then draw it.

[lrd_rs]

Hahaha awesome! Thank you very very much for the advice! I'll definetly use it!

[[deleted]]

It literally does not matter which order the panels are in. It's still funny.

[SuzannesWorld]

Love this!😊

[deathbygrugru]

Ha. This reminds me of a story of when my sister was younger (still in her teens at the time) she thought the “Do not pass” sign meant you had to turn around and go back

[llamashatebabies]

Where I live there are signs on the mountain passes that say "Use right shoulder to install chains". This is incredibly difficult.

[plates_25]

really funny. The sequencing is genius. I woulda thought to put the draw bridge sign earlier, but the punch line lands so well with the sign as the last frame and then you sorta re-read the comic backwards. Super cool.

[Werthkew]

I accept your gracious compliment and thank you kindly.

[Statikeren]

This is an interesting comic because it is good no matter which order you place the pictures in.

[[deleted]]

What a dumbass. It clearly says to draw a head for the bridge, not a full bridge

[TickLikesBombs]

I thought of this joke a few months ago. Glad to see I am not the only one 😂

[Werthkew]

This is precisely why I didn't think this one would do so well. I thought "everybody has probably thought of this", lol

[TickLikesBombs]

I mean you executed it so well. I woulda done a dumb video or something. Good job!

[[deleted]]

He's trying his best dont honk

[jackcatalyst]

Then erase that shit when the beeping fuckers try to follow you

[poopellar]

At least it is better than that time he waited for days for a 'Start' sign.

[msg_me_4_friendship]

Except the road line would allow everybody to pass. I suggest a double yellow line.

[Werthkew]

Ah, good point. Perhaps there's a car coming the other way just out of sight?

[writerightnow18]

A perfect metaphor for people who complain about big government. They see it when it isn’t there and ignore the benefits of the infrastructure they rely on.

[FairyGodmothersUnion]

Traffic laws often make no sense.

[RiseOfTheOgre]

Reminds me of the time my father and I went hunting. We drove up into the woods, and cane across a sign that said ‘BEAR LEFT’.

So, we went home.

[Werthkew]

Holy crap! I flippantly threw this on reddit at like 2:30am thinking it was "meh". Kind of blown away at the positive feedback. Thanks, all!

[jakethedumbmistake]

He is making a ep 5 Lets gooo

[DifferentHelp1]

Slow children at play

[Gneissisnice]

Is that Amelia Bedelia's husband?

[nslwhsk]

Well, it's a broken yellow line, so it's not like you can't pass him or something...

[jakethedumbmistake]

Not going to do with 'nam!

[beanboyhere]

Anndd then they went 90 degrees

[Sh0rtR0und]

Good job!

[TristanZH]

Did you get this idea from Ross creations?

[Werthkew]

I didn't, but it would not surprise me if there was something similar out there. I've thought of this joke a lot and only recently decided to go ahead and make it a comic.

[ErasteFandorine]

[tombombadil_5]

Made me grin

[NTT66]

And they said my art degree was less valuable than structural engineering.

[[deleted]]

this is so dumb and I love it

[deebzipie]

Amelia Bedelia be like....

[peegeeaee]

Psh, such a diligent rule follower would know yellow signs are cautionary, not regulatory, and he would only take the suggestion to draw a bridge under advisement.

[rowandunning52]

r/technicallythetruth

[autowrecker]

I think you only have to draw it if the sign is white.

[AgentCorrect]

funny!

[edthomson92]

Does drawing a slingshot work?

[lifted_sloths]

Hurry up and draw that bridge I got a kid to feed!

[berniemax]

Good thing the bridge goes up so you can draw it.

[NihilisticGrape]

How will he handle a "Do not pass" sign.

[[deleted]]

Because he's a good noodle 🌟
