I always prefer flying instead of sailing. Typical view from the cheap seats, right before the bald guy in front of me leans back and spills my drink in my lap and onto my computer bag, with a wailing baby and 2 drunk passengers providing the soundtrack.Maybe I should take up sailing?
You may remember this post: things I notice on the airplane ride.
Today is 8/8/08. :-)
Sailing through the blue skies... I like it!
ReplyDeleteeffing fantastic lines. i mean, do you ever have self doubt when you draw????
ReplyDeleteAs always, you give us a terrific illo. And we can all relate!
ReplyDeleteVery effective drawing, great lines... pick up sailing that would be interesting...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sail! You always make me laugh...
ain't that the truth! love it!
ReplyDeleteeBeth
well, sailing's not gonna get you from New York to LA very fast!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Quite an accurate depiction!
ReplyDeleteKeep flying, my friend. But, please, you deserve a first class seat!
ReplyDelete;-)
Have a few drinks and you won't notice the other things. Flying sober is for wimps.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have yet to recline my chair. Why move back an inch to what seems like a mile to the person behind you?
Did you notice that you weren't FIRST this week at IF? Ha! Losing your mojo? But great illo as always.
oh I love your take on the theme this week...great work!!! and I much rather fly too...
ReplyDeleteThose quick and faultless lines!
ReplyDeleteLove this, as I did the other.
Wow, sounds like Heaven...where do I sign up? I always tend to sketch in the airport and on the plane, too. Makes it bearable. Hey thanks for popping by for a visit. Good to hear from you. :-)
ReplyDeleteCould this be Willie's Wager: "i sketch therefore i exist."?
ReplyDeleteSorry about your penis.
ReplyDeletehaha, sweet drawing Willie. i've been enjoying the Boltbus lately myself-kind of like a plane on wheels, and far cheaper. Still, I flew for the first time in years not so long ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even as a passenger in the crappy seats.
ReplyDeletesorry about that, next time just tell us to shut-up, we won't get belligerent, promise.
ReplyDeleteyou can come sailing with us anytime, drinks are on us.
I'll take a plane over a boat any day... I throw up in boats, it's not fun.
ReplyDeleteI really like the plane drawing.
Wille you are as funny as can be! You've got me laughing spiting orange all over my mac. This is funny as hell. Great illustration. I can tell your a hoot!
ReplyDeletegreat perspective...it could be worse though...have you seen the trains in India???
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant drawing.
ReplyDeleteI really love how you've captured what it is like to be in cheap seats.
Awesome!
your pen has taken noticed of all the world that was flying around you! a magic pen!

ReplyDeleteHah! This looks great to me since the last time I was on a plane, I was next to the toilet...! Ugh! lol! Dude you always get me to laugh!

I like the backs of the heads, you've captured the situation, I'm even getting irritated with them just looking at the drawing. I'd love to smack them with my rolled up newspaper.
ReplyDeleteIf you fly, you don't have to worry about swabbing the decks or getting scurvy. If you are sailing and stuck with spitting up babies and drunk passengers, you can always retreat to your hammock down in the hold.
I think it's six of one and half a dozen of the other, one just involves a bit more rum.
GREAT stuff! Love that style, but have to agree I hate flying "cattle class" too.
