Painterly black tire partly buried where rough soil meets broken grey pavement.

Original artwork, not a still

Dane Cook

How did Mary die? A tire hit her in the face! What was she doing putting her face near tires? No no no no, this tire hunted Mary down. This tire murdered Mary. This tire wasn't fucking around.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Dane Cook takes a freak accident and blames the tire. It wasn't Mary's fault, he insists; the tire hunted her down like a murderer. The comic energy comes from treating rubber as a deliberate, ruthless villain.
