Keep On Truckin'

Route 2 appears to be a haven for interesting trucks. I saw a truck this morning adorned with the following logo:



Unfortunately, I couldn't grab my camera in time to take the picture. The back of the truck, though, was a work of art. There was a picture of a house on a hill, very cartoon-like, nearly busting at the seams. To the side of the house was this:



In other words, the sign painter chose to use pictorial narrative to get the point across. You know, that Sewerman 'saves the day.'

I really appreciate the red boots.



The color and style add a kind of whimsy to sewer cleaning. But make no mistake, Sewerman is all business. This is evident in the way he looks down - stern, determined.



Poor Sewerman has a deformity of the hand - I'm guessing from overexposure to toxic waste. Yet, still, he presses on. Nothing short of admirable. I think we ought to call the Fab Five for a makeover. The Arnold Horshack hair has got to go. I'll bet that he was modeled after the Greatest American Hero, and styled with a dash of R. Crumb.
