Providence Car Crash Consortium

Yo Consortium Friends! Over the next 8 months we are going to be creating a ton of characters and comics relating to seatbelts and car accidents! The Providence Community Library got some funding from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation to put out an avalanche of cautionary comics about Car Safety! So we've just started to dip our toes into this morbid subject with the hope of buckeling some more people up, in this, one of the worst driving cities in the world.
