Single-panel comic showing the inside of an airplane cabin with passengers seated in rows. A jagged speech bubble from an unseen speaker at the top says, "Of course, if he turns away first, we should experience only minor turbulence." A caption beneath reads, "Many of us were opposed to the game of airplane chicken" — implying the pilots are playing a staring-contest game of chicken mid-flight. Votey (aftercomic): a roughly sketched panel is filled with a huge explosion/starburst representing a crash, with a small speech bubble saying, "You flinched!"
