The System 173
Pedestrian darwinism. Everyone has to move out of the way for someone. Except for the fat walkers, they own the pavement.

Love the biker's expression in last panel.

Well, I understand why the bikers avoid fat walkers, although that seems a bit un-pc, but if they walk enough, they will become the regular walkers or even the runners. And, who knows, maybe even the bikers.
Then into what category would they really belong: the ffw/rw/rr/b?

Hey, I saw that picture of Randall Monroe and Zach Weiner reading that slightly edited version of your comic, and I'm the person you gave that comic to. So thanks again, that was really cool of you!

Then we might call that Evolution.
Though I think it's unfair to suggest all fat walkers want to become regular. Perhaps the "fat" trait has surfaced so that walkers and runners no longer have to move for bikers. This is coevolution!
And are rollerbladers, skateboarders, and scooterers just variants of the biker species?

The wheeled beings in general, coming from the species homo sapiens rotatus as opposed to their cousins who tend to win out, homo sapiens rotundus.

Cheers! I'll be posting a writeup soon.

Love how the biker *has* an expression considering he has no face.

fat walkers avoid armor plated bulldozers (youtube + killdozer
)

Armor plated bulldozers avoid At-At Walkers.

what about dog walkers?
March 25th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
We don't talk about dog walkers.
March 25th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
so, you're saying they are the alien cattle-mutilators of sidewalk traffic evolutionary patterns?

This comic is incomplete. You forgot to include my species, the inept, clumsy walker. Even fat walkers avoid us, mwahahaha! Ph34r me!
BTW, awesome webcomic, I read all the archive in one sitting. Very fun =)

I love all the references in this comic to pedestrian commuters, as I am one of their ilk myself.

would a fat man on a bike be the top of the food chain
March 26th, 2009 at 3:37 am
little kid on a trike beats that. seen it happen before. the fat guy ended up in a bush.
March 26th, 2009 at 3:47 am
They have no fear.
March 26th, 2009 at 3:48 am
Depends on the size of the bike.
March 26th, 2009 at 5:14 am
I'd imagine such a combination would be top-heavy and unbalanced, would it not? That seems like it would be a vulnerability.

I'm a fat man who bikes, you just need to weigh the bike down with cinder blocks.
i am just checking my place in the chain
