Several small panels of a bird in flight. It drops awkwardly, then recovers. A viewer responds, "I've never seen a bird 'trip' before!"

A figure says "My heart really wants to eat the edible plants growing in my neighborhood" while gesturing to mallow, dandelion, and wood sorrel growing out of a sidewalk "But my brain is too scared". A close up of a brain thinks: "We live in a city! Anything near apartments is covered in pesticides. Anything on the sidewalks is covered in dog waste (if you are lucky)" The figure gestures at their own head. "Just let me eat off the ground, ya bully!"

My favorite thing to do on a plane: watch 60% of a movie, silently, on someone else's screen. What can I say? I am a natural born creepazoid.
