I fumetti possono essere degli straordinari compagni di viaggio, soprattutto nelle trasferte quotidiane in treno per andare al lavoro. Ne è convinto in modo particolare October Jones, illustratore e artista (qui il suo ultimo libro), che ha realizzato un singolare progetto fotografico, basato sulla sovrapposizione di alcuni suoi schizzi di celebri personaggi di comics e cartoni con i passeggeri che, come lui, ogni mattina prendono il treno per andare al lavoro.
Il risultato, diffuso su Twitter nel corso di questi anni (e ripreso oggi da svariate testate), è estremamente divertente. Date un’occhiata qui sotto:
