Note to budding superheros: Lycra melts and offers no protection. Wear bike leathers.

I have an idea for a vigilante-style superhero comic.

It's called "Driver Education Rider and his side-kick, Orbiting Hyper Death Space Ray".

It works something like this:

• Driver Education Rider is riding through traffic, minding his own business, when a large 4WD forces him to take evasive action by merging into him.
• DER pulls up next to the 4WD at the lights.
• DER: "Excuse me sir, but did you see me when you changed lanes back there?"
• Driver: "Huh?"
• DER: *PUNCH*

His sidekick, Orbiting Hyper-Death Space Ray, is in constant radio contact.

• DER: "DER to Orbiting Hyper-Death Space Ray. Did you see that blue vehicle pull out of that side-street?"
• OHDSR: "Sure did, skipper!"
• OHDSR: *VAPORISE*
• DER: "Good work, boy!"
• OHDSR: "Arf! Arf!"

Or, maybe not.

If I had any drawing talent at all I'd do a couple of episodes, for the hell of it.

P.S.: I toyed with the question of whether he should be "Driver Education Rider" or "Driver Re-Education Rider", but since most drivers in need of re-education don't appear to have been educated in the first place, I settled on DER.
