Last Kiss by John Lustig for August 19, 2009

She’s hopelessly passed out, however…

…this is what happened when they let President Bush fly Air Force One…

I would hopelessly need to change my briefs

Afternoon folks! This is your captain speaking. If you look out the right and left sides of the plane you can see fractures at the wing roots from all that stress I just put on them.

We need air bags for sickness. The air captain that landed on the hudson did better then this.

I understand the premise of this one, but how does it fit the love & romance themes that Mr. Lustig so cleverly portrays?

Perhaps what we don’t see/know is that the attractive and sultry young co-pilot is sitting on his (the pilot’s lap) while all this astute maneuvering of the plane is happening…

I suspect every once in a while, Mr. Lustig just likes to poke fun at how bleeep the artwork was in those old strips sometimes. Like today’s fine example of a firm grasp of aerodynamics.

So…..the pilot is “hopefully” drunk?

I like the optimistic view on that near death experience, john, you could have looked at it from a pessimist view and gave the drunk pilot credit for ‘almost killing us’ rather than ‘i saved us’

Yikes! I have to fly in three weeks…Hope I forget this one by then!

Where does some of the ideas come for the strips?

Apparently 3hourtour doesn’t remember that both former Presidents Bush were pilots in the military. Or maybe he does, lol.
