I figured I was not the only one, it is best when car is moving, the only time you get to see yourself on the road!

Jerry, how come?
The front license plate is not reversed in the reflection ?

He also must reside in a state that does "NOT" require front and rear matching plates.

And if we were picky, shouldn't the car in the reflection also be pointing to the left?
I just love this thread and all the great cartoons!

Ruedi -
I love it too.
Jerry and I often communicate through PMs when I find "picky" differences, which I attribute to artistic license.
Jerry's ability to pick up posters personalities and his Alfa renditions are absolutely priceless. As he has 'picked on' me for several caricatures, I feel I get to 'pick on' him for 'picky' issues. Apparently I will need to add a bay to my "Alfa temple" in order to find wall space upon which to display his works.

Jerry -
You got me on that one.
Further I wonder why you would immortalize that @$$hole in the same manner you revere jackelope-dom.

Unofficial Cartoon Thread of the Chicago Convention
I'm not even going to post what our children or one of Pat's long-time friends would have to say.....very similar to Alfason plugging his ears. The recognized sound was gagging and the picture that goes with that sound was caused as a result of placing a finger down his throat.
As Gordy indicated Jerry has captured the essence of some of the well-known Alfa profiles and made it fun for all to enjoy and laugh at themselves in turn. I'm still waiting for one that has been missed, who is fairly new to Alfadom. But what I didn't realize until today, is that as you go back and look at some of the pictures there are other intentional errors that have not been mentioned. So not only has he captured in caricatures with humor some prominent Alfa personalities and thread content, entertained us, but also created a puzzle of sorts to solve, kind of like "Where's Waldo?"
Every artist, whether a painter, sculpture, writer, ceramicist, race car driver, surgeon, etc. is entitled to use literary license, and how they use it is an extension of themselves and lends great understanding and value to how they think and perceive what others would consider ordinary or mundane objects or occurrences. It's a lesson for all to view something through someone else's focus and appreciate the differences and similarities to our own perceptions.
