My comic strip is a play on what happens to Marcus in Little Brother, and how he almost gets arrested for having "suspicious" bus activity. In the book, the police confront Marcus about his usage of the BART system and concluded that he has been riding to "strange" places; implying that he might be a terrorist, Later his dad gets pulled over as well by cops and is questioned for his activity. The entire city is being treated like potential terrorists for having "abnormal" behavior. My comic shows a regular business man on his way to work, when a cop stops him on the street, telling him he is under arrest for having suspicious bus usage. The business man, Mr. Johnson, is then taken to jail for being a potential terrorist; just because of the way he rides the BART.
