In honor of Bike to Work Week in Los Angeles, I thought I would bring back "Cartoon Tuesday" with a favorite bicycling comic.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a comic that amused as much as this drawing on the wall of Gavin Newsom’s communications office, so I was at a loss.

Cartoon Tuesday: Bear Sprawl

By Damien Newton |
Earlier this year, I saw this comic at Salon about what would happen if other species embraced sprawl development, especially into other animals’ habitat, in the same way that humans do.  This comic came back to mind after the SCAG Board decided to choose sprawl development over a chance to make history and clean our […]
