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.

@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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

‘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).
