The Criminalizing Homelessness Cycle There's a blog post about this #PoliCartoon at www.patreon.com/posts/115113.... Doing cartoons like this takes a lot of time - and I can do it because of all the super cool people supporting the work at patreon.com/barry.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, arranged so that they can be read in a clockwise circle. Each panel shows the same character - a homeless man wearing jeans, a hoodie, and a knit cap. I'll call him "Knit."

TOP PANEL

Knit is lying on a park bench, looking like he just woke up, and with a confused expression on his face. A cop holding a billy club stands over him.

COP: Get up! Public sleeping is now a crime. You're going to jail.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

RIGHT HAND PANEL

Knit, looking confused and unhappy, is being kicked out of a building that has a sign over the door: "JAIL." Knit looks confused and unhappy. We don't see anything of the person kicking Knit out except for the shoe and leg that are doing the kicking.

KICKING GUY: You've served your time. Get out!

An arrow leads from that panel to:

BOTTOM PANEL

Knit, with a disappointed expression, is listening to a businessman-looking type wearing a necktie talk. The businessman has a stern expression.

BUSINESSMAN: You've been in jail! I'd never hire you, or rent to you.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

LEFT HAND PANEL

It's dark out; the only light is coming from a door which has been open a crack. Knit stands in front of the door. A sign above the door says "SHELTER." A woman inside is speaking to Knit through the crack.

WOMAN: Sorry, out of beds. Good luck.

An arrow leads from that panel back to the TOP PANEL.
