Questionable Compensating
I had to truncate this comic on account of the size of it, but click it if you wanna see all the Questionable Content pixels! Jeph stayed so OC canon that he even used the most Xtreme lens flare Photoshop has to offer. Lens Flare Quattro, Education Version.
Snakes on a Plane. A ruthless movie with utter disdain for its most adorable characters. I believe there was a point where there was about 10 solid minutes of people screaming as they were tossed violently about the bucking fuselage with snakes dangling wildly from every available, protroding appendage. Samuel Jackson tasers snakes in the face like he's doing his taxes. It's disgusting and shallow and loud and corny. In other words, A++++++ WOULD BUY AGAIN.
I will post a full report on Monday. Don't cry, dry your eyes.

First comment? That's crazy.
I'm not sure your review was all that complementary. I will see it anyway, for novelty's sake.
Less of this! What about the premiere! You have seedy celebrity stories to tell!
I was pretty excited when Sam Jackson was wearing your shirt in that ridiculous music video! Maybe because I wish I owned that shirt, too!
I was not disapoointed by Snakes on a Plane, like, at all! So that was a pleasant surprise.
Snakes On A Plane equals kind of the best thing EVAR.
I can't see it until Labor Day weekend because my friends can't see it until then.
However, I will now use my psychic powers to predict that 2 hours of Sam Jackson killing reptiles in assorted ways is awesome and worth my time & money.
Your review has eased what little trepidation I had about the enjoyment of this movie. If you say it is so, sir, then it is indeed so.
As long as it's NOTHING like Freedomland it should be OK.
On another note, Baby looks like a hot bimbo when Jeph draws her. It's funny cause she's writing a doctoral thesis but looks like she should be lifting a "Girls Gone Wild" shirt for Joe Francis's cameras. Oh snap, I forgot, things aren't funny if they are explained, oops.
ALAMOOOO DRAAAAFTHOUUUUSE

good meeting ya at the premiere. have fun in LA. No matter what your impression of it, you can rest assured that you had way more fun at hollywood and highland than most people do, in that you were at least mildly entertained. --jon (the guy w/ brian w/ the awful purple snakeskin shirt)
I loved that movie like I love my son.
(my son is unborn and lives in my ovaries as an egg that is a girl fact)
I expect to see some red carpet photographs, J-Ro. What did you end up wearin'?
And I'm glad that SoaP did not disappoint! Because that would be tragic.
I went to see it today, I had fun.
don't cry, dry your eyes
handsome boy modeling school - magnetizing!
i was just listening to this track and recalled reading that lyric somewhere on the intarweb recently, without having had realized it as such. i checked penny arcade first, though.
Jeph I read QC every day but this strip just kicked into a new kind of awesome. Great job.
Snakes On A Plane is the best thing ever. Snakes, plane, Mister Jackson.
I can die happy now.
OC plus QC equals AWESOME-SEE.
That was the best movie experience I have had in a long time.
I also felt that I could die, I was able to witness Snakes on a Plane.
I didn't care, I was in a Post-SoaP world.
I want to see a Shirtless J-Ro drawn by Jeph. Then he can be making out with Raven until she turns into a dragon and then J-Ro slays her and is a hero, this getting all the babes.
I think I know where Jeff is.
When do we get to stop pretending to be excited about a sub-par B-movie starring an over-exposed has-been?
HOPEFULLY NEVAR! SNAKES IN A PLAME 4 EVAR!!!!
I went to SOAP at the Metreon in San Francisco, opening night. The theatre was sold out (I bought my tickets on Wednesday) and the corridors were packed with people of all genders, nationalities, and social scenes, many of whom were high fiving strangers and chanting "snakes on a plane! I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" Durning the movie, the clink of flasks full of hard alchohol was barely audible above the boos, hisses (lots of hisses), cheers of the entire audience. Everyone especially loved the gratuitous titties.
Incredible.
Man, our sneak preview (Thursday at 10) had three theatres, although none of them were full (Roanoke is not *that* internet-happy of a town) but the theatre they had me in was the one full of noisy geeks, so we were all cheering and booing and calling back as if it were a Rocky Horror showing.
It was gory, gratuitous, and surprisingly involving. I was really sad and happy about particular characters. So yeah. Excellent. I'm buying it fourteen times.

I got a rubber snake thrown at me when I saw it last night. That combined with my friend next to me screaming her face off every five minutes or so made it a good time.
i must truthfully say SoaP was one of the greatest cinematic experiences ever. This combined with Jeph coming over to do a raging guest comic has made the weekend a most entertaining one. Thanks much gentlemen.
The execellent Moti Zilberman has, at my request, created a Greasemonkey script to extract the embedded text (alternative image text) out of the panel and post them underneath the panel. His script also reverses the order of the archive scripts, so that the last date appears first. His script can be found here.
I encountered Moti's work reading Wondermark... which had a guest comic from Questionable Content which in turn led me to this excellent offering...
Confused? Perhaps, but just grab that script if you're re-reading Jeffrey's comic ;)
I like review I saw in the Guardian "...there comes a time in every critic’s life when they must accept that not every plane crisis film is a terrorism metaphor..."
Off topic, FTW.
You have listened to The Crane Wife, yes? It was leaked.
Jeff, man, you have given me the greatest gift of all. The gift of realizing, while sitting through the credits of a movie, that I am inadvertantly wearing the same t-shirt as a movie star is, up on the screen, and then telling my drunken friends all about it, as we watch in awe.
And no one can ever take that away from me. Unless, maybe, they wipe my memory with some kind of device.
I didn't check. I hope you got a special thanks in the credits.
SNAKES ON CRACK ON A PLANE!
