THAT’S NOT THE POINT.
POINT IS, THEY SHOULDN’T
BE ALLOWED TO FLY THEM
IN THE CITY. IF ONE OF
THEM CRASHES...
THEY DON’T
CRASH.
SAYS WHO?
THE MUNCHKINS?
I MEAN, WHAT THE
HELL DO YOU EXPECT
THEM TO SAY?
ACTUALLY,
THEY’RE DESIGNED
NOT TO CRASH. EVEN
IF YOU TRY TO SMASH INTO SOMETHING, THE SKIMMER WON’T LET YOU.

YOU’LL EXCUSE
ME, THIS IS
MY STOP.
