I would credit that as an oddly detailed picture of a ‘66 Charger, but I’m pretty sure he traced it or photoshopped it.

This is how I feel about my BMW. It’ll probably become Jonah’s someday. Then he’ll be the stereotypical teenager in a 190,000 miles BMW.I think giving him my wife’s Fit is a better plan, especially since it racks up a lot less miles.

He includes detailed car drawings in some of his cartoons. Has he said he traced in the past?

I don’t have the foggiest idea, but I was noting that the car is at an angle one might expect to see in a photo and appears to not have any proportions off. It’s easy enough to draw even a stylized Charger with some degree of accuracy, but it comes across as *too* accurate. The staging of the characters behind it is also a little weird in terms of perspective, which might correspond to them being drawn first, and the car positioned in front of them at a big enough size to make for good composition (but not necessarily good perspective).

Just a point of idle curiosity about his creative process, as some artists do extensive tracing (seem to recall a superhero comic a while back that was busted for just tracing stock photo models), and some artists work primarily in inks and then do post-process cleanup in Photoshop while others work with a tablet and sometimes ink over a screen or printout.

Others still take an ink drawing and work over it on a tablet, even. Everybody’s a little different.

Mostly, if he had drawn almost that level of detail of a Charger off the cuff or without a reference, with some tell that it was freehand , I would have been blown away. I don’t, however, think that’s the case here.

In teresting. I didn't know there was so much tracing in comics and whatnot. I always assumed that was equivalent to plagiarism. I suppose it is very possible he traced the car. It does seem somewhat out of place

He’s a pretty good draftsman (I say, based on this one picture). The house in the back right may be drawn freehand or may be an “interpretive” trace, as it’s clear and in perspective but a couple of lines aren’t 100% parallel, as on the gable window. That’s the kind of thing that can come from tracing something’s edges by the shadows, or just drawing freehand, which is my bet . He’s getting a lot of mileage overall from good use of ink shading. Long story short, though, the car looks to be inserted. Look at the right front fender, where it passes near the two - there’s a little bit of an aliasing line of sorts.
