The Thrilling Adventures of Escape Guy

You all know Escape Guy, don’t you?

He’s in the header of this very website and we used the same image on the cover of the magazine for a while.

He’s an ISO Standard symbol for an emergency exit. I was doing some research into this today and it turns out there’s variations on the theme. Loads of them.

For instance, here’s Escape Guy clambering out of a window:

Escape Guy always helps others to freedom:

He’s equipped for any occasion. Even leaving Planet Earth:

But mind that hole!

Catch him if you can:

But disembark carefully:

Escape Guy frees his mind by picking some mushrooms:

“Can’t. Reach. Drainage. Button.”

Almost home, Escape Guy!

Escape Guy takes a shower after a long day of fleeing:

Goodnight, Escape Guy.

THE END

PS: Be like Escape Guy and buy my book.

    I confess that I was strangely moved to learn of Escape Guy’s exciting life once he’d made it outside of the exit door.
