Leader: I want to see some outside-the-box ideas here, okay? Target: Western devils. Brainstorm. Mahmoud: Go.

Mahmoud: We could, like, ram the space shuttle with a blimp.
Leader: (off) Not bad, but bigger.
Mahmoud: Bigger. Um. Two blimps. Three.
Excited Terrorist: (off) No, no, NO! C’mon, you guys! You’re not seeing the big picture!

Excited Terrorist: It’s not about how many dozens of imperialists we can kill… It’s about how many millions we can inconvenience at airports for decades to come.

Excited Terrorist: Now stay with me here guys. What’s the dumbest bomb ingredients you can think of?
Bearded Guy: Uh… Hair gel and an iPod.
Excited Terrorist: You laughed at the shoe thing too, remember?

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
