Plot twist; they cancelled because their convention had to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances.
This is a psychological evaluation test. Please choose the answer you deem most likely to explain the event.
Question 1
A group of people scheduled to go to the same event all decide not to go, why?
A. The event is cancelled
B. The group rescheduled
C. They all, individually, have super powers
E. One of them has the super power, and contacted the others who all know that the superpower is real and/or pretend to also have the power so claim they also saw the same thing
F. Same as E but that one person is lying too
D. They all, individually, have superpowers and predicted a disaster would happen. However, their future vision is predicated on the fact that they’ll all be on the plane. Them all choosing not to go will have significantly altered the outcome of a potential future event.
In short; you’re probably safe.
Technically, their inability to predict a crash doesn’t prevent a crash – you might die all the same (it’s particularly grim that, according to the meme, even their supposed clairvoyance wouldn’t prevent a crash because they presumably would just quietly avoid going).
Imagine being the person who has that ability, it always comes true and letting your friends know, and the ones who believe you don’t go on it, but the person at Delta Airlines doesn’t believe you, so they won’t tell the pilot to not go. Gotta transport all that cargo…
Final Destination?
A and B sound about the same likelihood to me, I might get this wrong.
Idk probably A.
If rescheduling, it would have to be extremely last minute if the airline did not have time to rebook seats. That would be disruptive to everyone and basically just means second event at the same cost as the first which sort of unravels the benefit of rescheduling.
Also. If they are all psychic, why would they book flights then cancel them? 🤔
I’d still go. I’d find it macabre and funny, it wouldn’t make me anxious. Private plane!
Humans like to believe a lot of stupid stuff without evidence, and feel like it becomes more true the more other people believe in the same stupid stuff.
They could not do a prediction before they booked the flight nor when they scheduled the event? So their powers are limited to same-day predictions? Probably low-level NPCs.
That’s still pretty good. Waking up and knowing that the day is lost and you may as well go back to sleep would be wonderful.
Oh Ziggy, will you ever win?
“I’m going too. Why do you think I picked this seat?”

Brilliant. For anybody who doesn’t want to click through, according to that link, Ziggy picked one of the safest seats on the plane.
Charlatans sharing a collective delusion would not scare me in any way.
That’s like christian saying you’ll go to hell if you do anything but diddlig children. Okay i guess.
Plot twist the only reason the plane was going to crash was because of all the psychics. It’ll fly perfectly safely with one passenger.
You chang3d the future by acting on it. Fate probably nocks one of them in a road accident or a freek 9/11 2
Or the catastrophic event was going to occur at the convention so they all decided not to go, end of the day im enjoying that empty plane lol
I think true psychism in the universe does not allow for confirmation of what psychics predict. The universe reacts in a way beyond our ken. The plane will land just fine.
Because they were all fat.
I’d be off that plane so fast
Yeah, but then you gotta watch out for all those little Rube Goldberg death traps coming for you for like, forever. Is that really a life worth living?
It’s been a long long time since I saw a ziggy
How about a Zippy?
My first cross-country flight/flight of any kind was a red-eye in one of those planes with the middle rows (plus rows left and right). It was so empty that me, my friend, and my dad could all lie down across entire rows. It really did not set realistic expectations for what future air travel would be like. “Damn, it’s fuckin’ NICE back here in coach. Don’t. Mind. If. I. Do.”
Gift horse, mouth. I’m chillin in 1st class with free drinks. worst case I die happy.
The airline would probably cancel the flight if they sold only one seat, so that’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
Nah, airlines have their planes in a complex web of routes all dependent on each other, that plane would fly regardless because after it gets (if it got there heh) to the next airport it would also prob have a route from that airport to another
Exactly. I was on an empty flight red eye PDX to Boston. Didn’t get cancelled, but what sucked that they didn’t have first class, so I still had to be crammed into those tiny seats. Couldn’t sleep as always.
At least there wasn’t a screaming baby, a moron kicking your seat, or someone eating steamed broccoli sitting next to you.
What if there was only one other person on the plane, and it was a screaming baby that kicked the seat while eating broccoli?
At least you can change seats? 🤷
no, not the steamed broccoli!
Hahaha it seems anecdotal, because it is. On a plane it smells like someone opened a box of farts.
They might need the plane at the other airport anyway
Have been the only one on a flight before. It’s weird when the flight attendants outnumber you.
They need that plane to pickup the other passengers from the destination airport
I flew from Oman to Dubai with like 4 people on the flight aside from crew. Stretched out in the centre aisle.
That cartoon is copyrighted 2015? I thought Ziggy was a cartoon from the early 1980s 🤔
I thought the same thing.
I was like “there were Ziggy cartoons in 2015?!” But yep, Ziggy is apparently still ongoing.
The most recent one is also about airplanes. “We’ve upgraded you to early deplaning, here’s your parachute!”
Wow so the animation is really from 2015? It even looks ancient and aged, circa 1980s. And wouldn’t it be in poor taste for any syndicated humor comic to make 9/11 jokes?
Yep, it’s actually from 2015! The artist is the original Ziggy artist’s son (literally Tom Wilson and Tom Wilson II), so I’m sure he intentionally references the old art style.
I think this is more of a general plane crash joke than a 9/11 joke. It’s not specific about where the plane is going and lots of plane crashes happened between September 11, 2001 and November 27, 2015 (when the comic was published).
I’d be surprised if Ziggy didn’t make pretty much the same joke in the 1970s-1980s!
I’d ride it out and tell the stewardesses/stewards to keep the drinks coming.
they still cost money though
