I guess “going” over the side is out?

“Look out below!”

Frank, you idiot… OPEN THE WINDOW!!!

That won’t just be hot air

Soon another odor will join that of burning propane.

Best move; jump.

Since there is no way out, make it memorable. Climb on the edge, make sure you splatter all the passengers and tell them it is an ancient ritual.

You’re kiddin’ me… there’s bathrooms on those things, right?

I think I they put ‘em just down the hall from the galley!

I think the other 4 will really regret it. BTW, which one is the pilot?

A new form of “crop dusting”?

Someone warn Bleeb!

Hang on tight, Bleeb!

Seriously : wasn’t this an Imodium AD commercial back in the day?

Smooth move Frank.

Everyone else regretted it too!

Soon, they would all regret it.

Proceed directly over to the comic THATABABY, and have a BLORK!

Feeling more blown up than the ballooon

Sorry, folks, Get outta the way…ooooooo too late☹️

Dilemma: prior to the explosion the more gas that Frank starts to produce the higher the balloon goes.

aim for a car

Who’s piloting that thing, Bleeb?

Cut a hole in the bottom and BOMBS AWAY!!!…

Several joke poems start with the line “Birdy birdy in the sky” and end with the line “boy, I’m glad that cows don’t fly.”

… with soy milk.

Must be some fast acting flakes.

Ah, so that’s why Bleeb’s hanging on the outside. But, he does have the TP. :)

Yeah. What do those balloon guys do about waste management? A bucket, maybe?

He has that “get up and go” feeling.

Fire at Will! We shall rename him $hithead.

Mud falcon

As did everyone else in the gondola…..

“This thing got a bathroom in it?” – “Does it?! Look around you, son! 360 degrees of bathroom, as far as the eye can see.”

Pigeons are big, today.

Oh! The humanity!

Don’t be modest, just hang it over the side. I’m sure the others will appreciate it. Probably need to dump some ballast anyway.

OMG. I laughed so hard.

Hi, Bleeb!

Bleeb is probably over in that corner because that is where the rain scupper is, which is what he is using as an observation port. Unfortunately, he could also be in the line of fire.

Bleep, be careful on the landing. You could get crushed!

THE HORROR!

McPherson’s lack of bathroom humor.
