    That’s what happens when they stop teaching Geography and US History in school.

    This is what ‘Lost’ would’ve been if Capt’n Sully Sullenberger was the pilot.

    I get the “lost” reference but what the hell is the joke? is it supposed to be funny because any normal person would recognize where they are but HA HA THEY ARE LOST?

    I think RyanE has it.

    Oceanic Airlines Flight 815, the fictional airline from the show Lost was a
    scheduled flight from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California.

    … and mixing in some”Planet of the Apes” stuff by way of the Statue of Liberty almost covered. No matter that it’s water rather than earth.

    Uhhh, I guess I was misreading the picture.

    Here in northern Europe, charter tourists travel to a vast country on the Mediterranean called “The South” to get some sunshine and lots of cheap licquor. The only thing they seem clear on is which flight to board and when to start ordering drinks, not which country the plane lands in. Amazingly, with some people, not even the language on the street signs or menus seem to clue them in.

    I guess Captain Sully was their pilot?

    so the Lost crew were stranded in New Jersey all the time ?

    In “Cloverfield,” LOST creator JJ Abram’s other production? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield?

    “The Island” is Manhattan?

  12. Powers Apr 29th 2010 at 06:50 am 12

    I can’t help but notice that the person who is saying “Where are we?” is looking toward New Jersey, or out to sea (depending on the exact orientation). He certainly can’t see the Statue or the Manhattan skyline from there.

    I was about to post what Powers just said. That makes somewhat more sense to me.

  14. Dan W Apr 29th 2010 at 08:13 am 14

    @ skinny, I suppose that’s no more absurd than some of the other stuff they have on that show.

    ‘Uhhh, I guess I was misreading the picture.”

    No, your idea would have been funnier (i.e. they land on the Planet of the Apes).

  16. Jeff S. Apr 29th 2010 at 09:48 am 16

    Unless you are talking about the PotA remake with Mark Wahlberg. That’s just as bad/confusing as Lost.
    Anyway, the comic has to do with Captain Sully piloting the Lost aircraft. They wouldn’t really have gotten lost in the first place.

    Lost is set on a strange Island full of mystery and wierd people. The island has a giant statue, and a smaller island nearby. Just like Manhatten. Very funny. Not.

  18. Judge Mental Apr 29th 2010 at 11:59 am 18

    I read it as Mike suggested in that any person of normal intelligence would recognize where they are. I think the fact that the person talking can’t necessarily see the New York skyline is just a unfortunate result of drawing the picture such that *we* can recognize where they are.

  19. Scott Apr 29th 2010 at 12:28 pm 19

    If you are at the Statue of Liberty, you see the Southern tip of Manhattan, not mid town. So, I can only guess that the person saying “Where are we” might be looking towards Brooklyn or something - and Brooklyn is always funny.

    This is just like the bit in the movie “Quick Change”, where Bill Murray is lost in New York, and complaining that “if he could only find a landmark!” As he says this, something moves behind him, and the audience can briefly see the Statue of Liberty (as much of a landmark as one could wish for), but the characters never see it.

    The person asking “Where are we?” is probably Charlie, since he’s carrying a guitar. Charlie was in the bathroom of the plane getting a heroin fix during part of the flight, so the disorientation is understandable. Plus he’s not American. Of course, being non-American means he probably has a better grasp of geography than most Americans.
    Also, it’s unlikely that a flight from Sydney to LA would pass over New York anyway.

    At least it would make sense why Hurley would still be fat after landing on THIS island.

  23. Andrew McGrae Apr 29th 2010 at 08:25 pm 23

    @jglor: Also, Charlie was the guy who asked “where are we?” shortly after the crash on the actual show. From left to right they seem to be Jack, Charlie, Hurley, possibly Sawyer, and someone else who is too small to make out.

  24. mitch4 Apr 29th 2010 at 11:27 pm 24

    jglor, Andrew, et al. — You’re right, the guitar and “Where are we?” do sell it that that guy is Charlie, and thus that the rest should be from the cast. I could see the first guy as Jack, as you suggest, or maybe Desmond — often paired with Charlie and to my eye a little more resembling the appearance in the drawing (not much to go by of course). I’m aware Desmond wasn’t on 815 [originally], but maybe the artist doesn’t know or doesn’t care.
