I enjoy both cartoons about schooling and photos of urban life. Periodically, I publish cartoons poking at schooling in America. And from time to time, photos capture my attention and get me to smile or laugh out loud. This month I offer photos of those urbanites who use big city subways. Enjoy!
Creative bed, I’d say
Kitten carrier
Multi-tasking while commuting
Time for a snack
Anyone for some cheese?
Different pets for different folks
No, I do not know how this commuter got his “smart” car onto the subway
Halloween travelers on subway
The perfect book for the bachelor who commutes
Another commuter going to a Halloween party
And yet another party goer!
At first glance, I missed how this commuter was holding on as the train swayed back and forth. Creative rider, I’d say.
Another creative commuter coping with a crowded car
And when you crave 40-winks, try this
For some riders, an alternative reality is available on the commute
I have no idea what the woman is doing but a photographer caught her like this in a subway car*

These are great! I know what the last woman is doing. It’s a halloween costume. She is a caterpillar turning into a butterfly (note the face paint). Thanks for keeping us laughing at the end of the school year!
Ah, thanks for solving what mystified me,, Beth.
