Pot holes are places in our roadways where pots used to be, what we need to do is catch those who steal these pots and leave the holes … for heavens sakes people please take the hole AND the pot … my car has been damaged!

Cool graphic – very instructive. I like it. The guy in the car seems to have no expression though. He needs to have that “oh shit!” look on his face when his boxy car runs into that crater.

Some audio would also make it more captivating, like the sound of tires hitting the hole and the crunch of concrete crumbling away. Perhaps add some echo to show how big those holes really are. That, coupled with just the right expression on the driver’s face would make it a top-notch graphic worth sharing with friends and viewing over and over.

I’m still going to bookmark it.

The sky is pink. The person driving the car is purple. It makes no sense.

If the graphic pothole was one of the many along 6th St. in Minneapolis, that car would’ve hosed its suspension!

It's pretty cool. See this related graphic.

Sometimes the Strib posts their graphics on their website days before the article goes live.

Seeing this last week let me know that the interview i did on the e-cigies was about to show up in print.
