Drawing the ASL hand sign for Bridge was tricky. Each resource I went to would show a different position for the opposite arm and its hand. I finally went with my teacher’s instruction, and instead of drawing a fist, I placed the hand flat with the palm down. For the cartoon illustration, I looked for a character with an infamous moment on a bridge. I chose Clarence, the helpful angel from It’s a Wonderful Life who stopped George Bailey from his planned suicide attempt by jumping off the bridge first so George could rescue him, saving them both. Covering him in the snow of his first appearance, I also gave Clarence a ringing bell as a lapel to give him his wings.
