Ideas for a comic strip (sketches to follow, for now use your imagination):
Opening scene: an airplane aisle; stewardess notices a group of idiotic passengers paying no attention while she explains safety regulations.
Progression of scenes: stewardess begins cracking a smile as she imagines these passengers in the emergency situations she's describing:
- as she says, "If an oxygen mask appears, secure your own mask before helping others," she imagines a child dying of asphyxiation as mother takes excessive time adjusting the mask to fit comfortably on her own face.
- as she says, "Please turn off your cellular telephones and other electronic devices during take off and landing," she imagines a man using some archaic S.O.S/walkie-talkie device.
- as she says, "Your seat can also be used as a floatation device," she pictures that group of passengers having a pillow fight with the seat cushions.
- as she says, "A life vest is located in a pouch underneath your seat; please inflate it after exiting the aircraft," she imagines the passengers bouncing off each other, having inflated the lifevests while still in the plane.
- finally she says, "the washrooms are equipped with smoke detectors; tampering with or destroying the smoke detectors is against the law."
By the end of her instructions she's having trouble containing her laughter. She goes to the washroom to recover. A man is stepping out of the washroom as she arrives. He smells of smoke and she notices a piece of saran wrap sealed over the smoke alarm. To be continued...

interesting, depending on how it was drawn it could be either kind of goofy and fun, or more dark and cynical?
I pictured the stewardess as the central character; the mood of the stewardess could vary. In this case, she's goofy, having trouble not cracking up. But her mood could change, for example when she encounters the smoker in the bathroom and has to enforce the rules.
