Although generally there really isn't any coherent continuity to be found in any weekly sequence of Lockhorn panels, you can sort of draw up a loose one for this week thus far. The Lockhorns took a flight on an insane airline to see/ruin a hypnotist show and now they've returned to find all their luggage is missing. All and all, it really was really a perfect Lockhorns vacation. On the brightside, their usual invasive search by airline security will now only be limited to full cavity searches. It's another push.

I do love it when the Lockhorns take their occasional harrowing journeys into the totally absurd. The supposed joke is that the Lockhorns' budget flight is so excessively bare bones that their passengers have to buy products from a vending machine. However, all I really get from this scene are just a number of increasingly confusing questions. Don't most airlines sell the same kind of snacks you would find in a vending machine? Don't many airlines charge you for snacks on a flight anyway? Why would this airline torture this poor stewardess by forcing her to push a heavy vending machine all around the plane? How budget can an airline be when it flies their customers in gigantic cathedral ceiling aircrafts, with copious legroom, and aisles that can accommodate vending machines being pushed through them? You better believe this is a push.
