overhead
Explanation
This comic shows two people on a picnic blanket outdoors. One says "Hmm, plans overhead." The other responds with a lengthy, convoluted reassurance: "Well, the good thing is that if it considers us alive, we'll all die together so it won't be the case that either that group is terrorized or we are, so we'll be alternately clouded and besmeared by the ashes of saints and sinners so beautifully..."
The bottom panels show a wider view revealing they were simply looking up at aircraft, with one character pivoting to ask about more practical matters: "Horizontal thinking about this?" and the other responding: "More croissants?"
The comic plays on the word "plans" versus "planes." One character says "plans overhead," likely meaning "planes overhead" — simply noting aircraft flying above them during their picnic. But the other character interprets "plans" literally, launching into an overwrought philosophical meditation on mortality, shared fate, and the intermingling of human remains — as if some grand cosmic "plan" looms above them. The absurdly literary and morbid response to what was a casual observation about airplanes satirizes people who can't resist turning mundane moments into existential crises. The return to "more croissants?" grounds the scene back in pleasant normalcy.
