Dead Horses on a Plane



Truth be told, I wasn't really going to go to Comic-Con until this happened. People keep saying that I started the whole Snakes on a Plane internet thing. Always willing to accept responsibility for things I didn't actually do, I take full responsibility for it.



As far as Comic-Con goes, Dumbrella (AKA Team Force Alpha) is having a meeting this weekend to discuss these things.

No muthafuckin' WAY is Samuel L. fuckin-Jackson wearing your Snakes on a Plane T-Shirt! That is beyond coolness! Has your head exploded with pride? Because mine would have.

He's a plane. Those are jet engines. It's a dream sequence.

Jeffrey, have you been at the emergency tequila again.

Some people might call it hypocrisy that Jeff claims to be sick of a movie that he largely helped to hype, and profited greatly from said hype.

But don't worry. It's not hypocrisy at all. Have a look at this passage from the Overcompensating store on the snakes flying planes shirts ($18.45 for a t-shirt, $36 for a sweatshirt):

"Does this have anything to do with that movie Snakes on a Plane? Absolutely not. Anyway that movie doesn't even come out until August 2006."

See? Absolutely nothing at all to do with the movie. Jeff said it himself. He certainly didn't create the snakes on a plane internet thing.

When Samuel L. Jackson shows up in my dreams, his shirt always changes into a snake, too! What's up with that?

Actually, J-Ro, I think you pushed the "Snakes on a MF Plane" thing up to critical mass; without you it would have leveled off to just another internet meme. Unless I'm wrong.
If I'm wrong, then stay tuned for "ORLY: the movie."

Funny, I have a comic that deals largely in pop culture, and making a SOAP strip never occured to me.

I always like your comics, but this one's especially funny. That's what Sam Jackson would do if he showed up in a dream, wouldn't he? He'd yell at the dreamer.

Perfect.

Also, you might wanna stock up on bandwidth, 'cause that shirt's gonna land you in Entertainment Weekly one of these days.

Damn, for a moment there I thought that one of the people with Samuel L. Jackson was Jeff. He has my first name and initials, I am terrified that he is my evil twin and haven't ever seen a picture of him. Damn it, show your face to allay my fears!

Wow. Not only are you now a celebrity by proxy, but you've actually changed the shape of America's pop culture scene forever. I mean, think about it: Someday, a bunch of talking heads on VH1 will be yammering on about how you turned the summer of '06 into "Plane-Snake-Epidemic-Fiesta-Tron Two Thousand Sex". And it will possibly be your doing. Not many webcomics creators get that privilege.

However, I do understand you feeling like the SOAP thing is getting old. I'd agree. If ever it gets to you too much, just put it behind you: tuck your SOAP jokes into your archives, discontinue the shirts, and let your unwanted overblown fame and prentense wash off of you as if you were cleansed by a cool summer rain while standing bare-ass naked in the middle of a grassy meadow. Then take a deep breath and start on something new.

See? That's better.

We can only hope that the next progression in the Snakes on a MF Plane trend as it were won't be in YM/Seventeen/utterly useless and stupid consumer and media-inspired teenage girl magazines.

That said, the fact that Samuel L. Jackson is both wearing your T-Shirt design and is appearing as a half-man-half-snake in a dream near us all is nothing short of freaking amazingly awesome and cool. I want a Jedi Knight BAMF who orders Royales with Cheese to wear my T-Shirt design. Ah, aspirations.

Oh SHIT, I meant Jedi Master. How dare I condescend Mr. Jackson to that level. My arms will probably get hacked off now... but maybe not since it's late and I spent the last 2 1/2 hours putting together one of those damned prefab computer desks.
