Final Line Story mark making

With a little help from my siblings I was able to round up a few cars that would make different tracks for my final piece. I am pretty proud of it. I though it might fail, but it turned out much better than I expected.

Metaphor proposal #3

Teen Pregnancies: "Put a sleeve on it, or else!"

I couldn't really show this in my sketch but I would make one BIG condom out of many small ones, and at the opening there would be babies falling out.

Metaphor proposal #2

"I'm as straight as a turnpike"

I do realize the quote is a simile, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a metaphor for straight people vs the LGBTQ community. Basically it's just a line that ends up being curvy and a rainbow explosion.

Metaphor proposal #1

National Obesity:  This is typical dialogue with an overweight customer at the movie theater I work at.

overweight customer: Hi can I get a small popcorn with lots and lots of butter, and a large drink?

me: sure!

customer: You know, just go on and DROWN the popcorn in butter! Give me a heart attack.

me: Um, ok. Sure. 

me (under my breath): you might as well have ordered a large cup of butter. O_O

Basically I will have a small unbuttered popcorn, and a large cup filled with butter instead of a drink. Because basically, that's what these types of customers are ordering.
