Think of a City - Hang On

It's interesting to me that so far into Think of a City Joe Decie's 018 is the first instance of public transit.  I mean, there's been lots of different modes of transportation (with a delightful emphasis on hoverbikes), but actual shared transportation hasn't come up before now.  I don't know that there's much to it beyond the fact that taking the bus, while helpful to many, does not always set the imagination on fire, but I can say that in the hands of Mr. Decie, it does.

Also, I totally love Joe's comics.  You should read them, for they are hilarious.

1 - Close on a man's hand holding onto a subway pole (the vertical type).

2 - On the same man still holding the pole, but at a distance where we can actually see him.  He's a hipster-type, maybe trying a little too hard to be cool / disinterested.  Case in point, a bubblegum punk woman stands nearby, looking at her cellphone.  The man notices her.  Behind them, the subway doors are closing (maybe have a little visual effect to connote the sound or movement).

3 - As the subway starts forward (maybe have people leaning into the movement / change the view through the windows), the woman, not paying attention, loses her balance and is falling backwards.  The man opens his eyes wide, surprised and concerned.

4 - The man has let go of the pole and manages to catch the woman, saving her from that nasty fall.

5 - The man has helped the woman back up and they are both being kind of awkward / shy towards each other.  The man tries to downplay his helpfulness.  The woman tries to downplay her embarrassment.  Both blush to one degree or another.  The subway pole is nearby (if not already being held by the man).
