What, there are now run-by thefts on New York subways? There wasn’t an announcement when we were saying, “Oooh, Discman! I want one!” Muggers are really lowering their standards.
My favorite subway experience: I was sitting minding my own business, holding onto all my school stuff (and yes, I admit it, listening to my iPod), when I noticed this guy staring kind of….. Fixatedly at me. He would stare, and then scribble something in the notebook he was holding. At first I thought he creepy, but when he got off at his stop I got a glance at his book and saw a rough sketch on the page….. Of me!! It gave me this funny, warm feeling. :3 I inspired somebody.
Yep! On the newer trains, the ones with the signs telling you what the next stop is. It’s a recording of a man’s voice, the same guy who tells you to “Stand clear of the closing doors please.”
Single panel. A subway car during the morning commute. The loud speaker makes an announcement: Protect your belongings. Do not display electronic devices while riding the subway.
Everyone on the train is using some kind of electronic device.

The book readers are safe because they automatically have something to beat the muggers with…
The O.E.D. – giving a whole new definition to self defense.

To be honest I like seeing people immersed in their devices because they are more prone to mumbles, stumbles and physical comedy in general
Anyone not staring into their iWhatzit is probably getting ready to steal yours!

Is that a cat logo in place of an iconic fruit?
You know I honestly don’t remember hearing that one on the train.
Is this in New York? I’m headed there this weekend for the Brooklyn Comics Show. I hope I hear this on the Subway.
