The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 27, 2019

This one, if you will pardon the pun, is quite a stretch.

They’re really cutting back on creature comforts.

And you now he’s not the one other passengers fear most on the flight.

The airlines used to have some high standards for their stewardesses, too.

Maybe a little bit of “swamp gas” would free up a few adjacent seats…..

I sympathise with the creature on this one. Now don’t get me started on the food.

More truth than you might think!

Julia Adams has let herself go.

They do “scale down” on legroom and seat width these days!

What’s a creature like you doing on a crowed plane like this?

This all started with the old defunct airline, Pan Jam. I’m ducking now.

Yes, truly monstrous.

Meanwhile, buses have gotten much more comfortable, plenty of room. I wouldn’t want to go coast to coast with them, but for intermediate length trips, where you don’t want to drive yourself but don’t mind taking a few hours, they’re a good alternative. And cheaper, of course.

You’re pardoned

They were swamped with complaints.

I saw a news feature recently about sports stadiums shoving the seats in tighter so they can fit more fans in. Just what fans need. A loud drunk throwing up in their laps.

Something fishy about this, I’ll even say monstrously fishy.

Very true. Spent 7 hours standing on a trip to Europe because the seat pitch was too narrow for me to put my feet on the floor, much less my knees between the rows.After that flight I felt like the creature.

I don’t know, the aisle looks roomier then most.

Is he too large for the sky kennel?

I get the joke. It’s a typo.

Economies of scale.

I particularly like the glamorous attendant.

Is this the same Creature who lost the red balloon" ? Or found the black mushroom? Or the Creature who plays the hack bassoon??? I’d need to see him in 3-D to know for sure!

So he’s leaving the Brazilian Amazon for Lake Sarasota Florida?

Americans get bigger but seating space in airplanes gets smaller – go figure!
