The “city” on the side of the car implies that it’s a vehicle of city cleaning. It could be some other city service, but then it would be oddly specific. Does the city cleaning service just run over piles of leaves where the artist comes from, instead of shoving them aside? The latter would still be painful but arguably not lethal.

That aside, where do you find leaf piles just out on the road? Don’t they tend to be the result of, you know, being shoved off the street by city cleaning?

That aside aside, if anything, that cartoon is an argument for banning cars instead of telling kids not to play in leaves.

Okay, rant over. (I accidentally typed “rent over” at first. If only.)
