Asher Perlman is a writer for Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show and a cartoonist for the New Yorker. His visual work very much fits within the oeuvre of the latter, with the iconic black and white forms and simple deliver of a single absurd line. In this case, it’s an airline pilot making the friendly skies even more friendly.

TikTok user @katylaser did her part as an Austinite to keep Austin weird by trying to hire a stewardess to recreate the Perlman cartoon while flying out of Atlanta. It turns out that Katy didn’t have to pay a penny to turn the cartoon into reality.
