FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for June 25, 2010

I told you! Roger *is* in the Twilight Zone!

I’ve had to stop at Bangor for refueling more than once on overseas flights. It is a deserted crossroads in the middle of winter in the wilderness.

What is it with this airline? Did someone consider it too big to fail?

(No politics intended, friends, but even in Toontown there has to be some corollary of Cartoon Physics that makes the economic survival of this airborne disaster area plausible!)_

At this rate I would be looking for the Sydney Opera House sometime later. Hey Roger, a word of advice if you EVER get to Boston, “Stay off of the MTA”! (Remember the song of the “Man who never returned”)? Your luck is rancid!

As an American student studying in Germany, these comics are really making me dread my flight home.

I don’t remember the Foxs being from Chicago … or even Illinois.

I know, I know

Let the lambasting begin!

Most idiotic airline on the planet.

Did he ever return? No he never returned And his fate is still unlearned He may ride [he may ride] for ever neath the streets of Boston* He’s the man who never returned.

*(Over every point in the universe)

He’s flying ConServative Airlines. All their planes have two right wings so they can only go in circles and land in red states.

Oh, no. They re-scheduled again while in mid-flight?! Will Roger ever get to his business trip?! Or even home for that matter?

Well, at least they haven’t overflown their destination by a couple of hundred miles … yet.

He must be flying Northwest

comixavier - I think that the pilot is just lost or taking the LONG way around (via Hawaii, Asia and Europe).

Roger should’a walked!

I think I might have flown with this pilot in the late 60’s. I was in the Air Force stationed in Northern Michigan. I caught a hop on an Air Force plane to California via Texas. He came over the intercom and told us to look out the windows as we were flying over the Grand Canyon. Five minutes later he told us to look out as we were now flying over the Grand Canyon. Made me feel pretty safe about making it to California.

treBsdrawkcaB - can’t take a joke. Too much political indoctrination.

If you fly out to sea, hope for a smokeless island.

I’ve been on the Washington to Detroit via Chicago red-eye special. My friends drove and beat me home.

What about Progressive Airlines? You know, the ones with two left wings, yada yada yada…

Oh, but of course. No political party ever sees its own faults. That’s why I don’t get involved in politics.

Wait, would they even have the fuel to fly like that? lol
