Id

I was looking through the Los Angeles Times comics and found one that explained the id. The comic was a little character that made fake wings and had on a helmet. It shows him trying to fly and obviously he crashes. When he started to fly he says "I do what I want" then he says "if it works..." "it works." As he makes each comment he is getting closer and closer to the ground. He continues falling and says "If not," "I will blame others." Then he crashes to the ground and says "It's a risk I'm willing to take.."

In this comic id is the main thing controlling the characters behavior. I say this because he says I do what I want. He is not rationally thinking about anything. The character is showing child like behavior which is what the id does as well. Espciallay when he says I will blame others if it does not work. If the character's super ego had kicked in he would have realized he can not fly and he would never have crashed.
