The eyebrows and the half-closed eyes. I too, would buy this shirt. It would have to be really, really large though. Like 6X or 7X. Really.
Yeah I know, ’tis sad but true.
You know that “my beautiful balloon” song? It was originally written as the theme song for a movie about hot air balloons. The movie never got made, though, probably because the producers realized it would be about as exciting as this.
In Germany, when you say you fly in a balloon, the balloonist will always correct you: A hot-air balloon is an airship, and ships don´t fly, they …ummm …the german word for drive but that sounds kinda wrong …travel maybe?
Well, I started typing it into google as my surrogate spell-checker and that’s what I came up with. According to them it is from an old ad campaign for Volkswagon meaning “driving pleasure”. I knew it didn’t fit, but thought it was funny anyway.
Well done Adam, not many people can make me hear voices, but I sure did hear the Movie Anouncer Guy loud and clear… though, I think his bolster of this movie would have gotten people to go see it… XD
You know, Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story about someone flying to the moon in a hot air balloon (but 90% of the story was just the pre-landing flight) and it was actually enjoyable to read, so maybe that would make a good movie…
Alternate ending: the balloon crashes into a building. “OHMYGODI’MGONNACRAAAAASH*bump*” *balloon just kinda sits there and gradually falls to the ground*
I would watch the hell out of that movie. Which makes it a good that it doesn’t seem to have a lot of hell in it, because it really doesn’t seem like a good movie.
I am happy to note that I pressed the Voice Search button on my cellphone, yelled “HOW TO LAND A HOT AIR BALLOON!” in a frantic voice, and it came up with http://www.ehow.com/how_2051461_land-hot-air-balloon.html (which is in the form of a checklist, on the mobile version).
You know this will be made eventually. Hollywood’s that desperate for new material, and if Hungry Hungry Hippos is happening…
I don’t think it’ll be this hilariously awful, though. They’re probably make it about the DRAMA of two guys going crazy and trying to not eat each other while they lazily drift over some mountains. Or the ocean. With explosions. And they pick up a chick eventually for pointless romance.
I think “Whatever. You know I’m a hero.” would make a good t-shirt.
Heh yeah i would want to wear a t-shirt like that..s pecially if it had the cute eyebrown bug on it 🙂
Any chance of a Bug webstore? (Maybe zazzle?) Because I would also buy this shirt.
I as well!
OK, I’ll admit… the eyebrows made this one.
Well put.

“Ride”?
Farfegnugen
nice try, but Fahrvergnügen is an adjective 😛
Err.. noun.
I’m gonna be over there hanging my head in shame if you need me

“cruise”
yea i had to look that up.
This still sounds more exciting than Speed 2.
It’s nice to see Bug return to some good ol’ random nonsense.
great job with this one, made me lol XD

Did you go to Balloon Fiesta this year, Adam?

Did anyone else want to do the crossword puzzle on the balloon?
Tried. couldn’t read the clues.
hahahahaha bugs expression in the last panel is great!
I love it!

Good work as always!
lol, this one was awesome! I would totally buy the shirt too, for… $12.99 :p

Would a hedge count as a ground crew?
This one made me think of Monty Python and the episode The Golden Age of Ballooning. Nice.
