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

Is that equivalent of popping the tires on landing gear

Also where are the passengers in case

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Passengers fly on the inside, of course. There are two exits, one at the front and one at the rear. If you need assistance with boarding, one of our supposistewards will be happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Qantass Airlines!

I think deep down I knew that answer I just don’t want to accept it

On case of a emergency landing you may exit through the umbilicus and wait for the slide to drop

In case of water landing... never mind
