Description

Comic Description:

The comic depicts an airplane interior with several passengers seated. The text is presented in a yellow box overhead.

Text: "BEFORE WE GET UNDERWAY ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND THE CREW, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THERE IS A NON-ZERO CHANCE WE WILL ALL GO INTO THE DARKNESS TOGETHER, SCREAMING AND SOILING OURSELVES IN A FLAMING METAL HELLOX, SPEEDING INEXORABLY TOWARD OBLIVION. THE ODDS OF ALL THAT DIMINISH SLIGHTLY IF THE PASSENGER IN 14B WOULD COMPLY WITH OUR REQUEST TO TURN OFF HIS GODDAMN PHONE!"

Visual Elements:

• A frazzled flight attendant speaks into a microphone.
• A male passenger in a seat, looking worried, is holding his phone to his ear.
• Other passengers appear concerned or surprised.
• The color scheme is bright and humorous, but the text conveys a comically serious tone.
