That's an oldie: I found it in a copy of The New Yorker a few years back and posted it here. (I think someone else here found it at roughly the same time and also posted it.) A good laugh, especially since the artist is either (a) a fellow Vespista, and/or (b) has a helluva eye for detail.

Nice one . The artist must be a Vespa fan to draw recognisable PX and ET scooters.

One of my very favorite New Yorker articles ever, good stuff in there! Totally applies to us scooter owners, who is cooler than us?

I enjoyed the Jehova's Witness "No soliciting" one. I bet that exists somewhere in RL...
