Caricature illustration of a crowded subway train with passengers standing and one person reading a book.

A humorous caricature scene set inside a German subway train. The seats are arranged like in an airplane—two seats next to each other in rows. One passenger is sitting alone, calmly reading a book, with their large backpack placed on the seat beside them. All other seats are taken in the same way - people sit alone with teir backpack on the seat beside them. The subway is noticeably crowded, with several passengers standing tightly packed in the aisle, holding onto the overhead rails. Everyone standing looks politely uncomfortable but no one asks the seated person to move their bag. Add a super calm, expressionless face on the person sitting with the bag. Emphasize the sense of quiet respect for personal space. Include small humorous details like someone standing right next to the empty seat but clearly avoiding eye contact. Maybe add a tiny sign on the wall in German saying “Bitte nicht stören” (Please do not disturb). Make the overall tone light and ironic, capturing the cultural moment without being mean-spirited.
