I don't know why but I just got it into my head that I wanted to draw someone with an umbrella stuck through them. It was my daily bike ride to work which often takes place in the rain that inspired the setting/character, because I see so many Japanese businessmen in rain suits. When I see them I think "man it sucks to be trudging to work in the rain, how could it get any worse?"

The answer is that you could get an umbrella blown through your chest, pictured above. Title inspiration from the play "Death of a Salesman", although my version is a little more obvious. Poor guy.
