Comedic Commuter Cartoons

This Bored Artist Drew Cartoon Faces on His Fellow Commuters

— February 13, 2014 — Pop Culture
Artist Joe Butcher spent his train commute drawing cartoon faces on sticky notes and taking pictures of them held up against his fellow commuters.

Among the designs includes one black-clad rider being turned into Batman, while another is turned into Spiderman. One gentleman in a striped shirt becomes Waldo from the Where's Waldo series of books, while an overhead light is turned into Yoda's lightsaber from Star Wars. These cartoon faces are humorous and a great way to pass the time on a long commute, whether it by train, bus or subway.

These cartoon faces are very well matched to their commuter. One rather humorous photo butcher took includes a commuter with face of the cat Tom seemingly glaring at a sticky of the mouse Jerry tacked onto Butcher's chair.
