Alt TextA comic depicting the classic trolley problem in 2 panels

Panel 1: a trolley sits on the tracks with a switch off to an alternate track. On the main track, there is nothing to impede the trolley. On the switch off track stands The Roadrunner (see Warner Bros). At the track’s lever stands Wile E. Coyote who has thrown the lever switching the trolley’s path of travel.

Panel 2: The trolley drifts sideways off the track to run over Wile E. Coyote.

I'd prefer if the trolley fell over rather than moved laterally. The cartoon defies the laws of physics but in a fun cartoony way that makes internal sense.
