Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

does a barrel roll
Last flight I went on the pilot announced, “We’re in for some slight turbulence for the next hour”. After 45 minutes of shaking he then dropped, “We should be out of the turbulence in the next hour.”
we need more train drivers who say you're about to have turbulence when they know there's shitty tracks ahead
“We’re coming up on some BNSF track up ahead, someone will be around with a complimentary barf bag shortly.”
Oof, I'd 100% puke. So far only happened once but it was only like 10 minutes of bad turbulence that got me. I always double check for a vom bag now and bring a toothbrush in my purse just in case
Ok this one's good
I've always wondered about this.
You can't really mistake plane steering vs actual turbulence though. But it's a funny idea, for sure.
Depends on the turbulence. That sick falling in a hole type of turbulence wouldn't be possible to simulate. That up and down and side to side stuff that keep you drink sloshing could possible be.
Reminds me of this skit: https://youtu.be/oOFlN_qTCf0
The real question here is which came first. The cartoon or the skit?
Comic is from 1986, and Sluipschutters debuted in 2013.
Sigh, its my own fault I did leave the /s off.
Lol my bad, there's people on every post in this goddamn community "ThIs CaMe OuT tOdAy?!" I thought you were another one of them lol.
Its okay, If you look at my other post I've had that exact same thought on a flight with turbulence. I'm sure its a fairly common idea.
