It's like that friend who's like "everyone says I'm really negative & I smell bad but I think I'm great" and now he has no friends. hey some amtrak guy:

(also I won't even touch the motion sickness thing, the notion seems pretty ridiculous to me. ashley, have you ever been on an airplane that hit turbulence, or a ship out on the ocean? the rocking of the train going through the occasional curve or turnout doesn't hold a candle to the sickness potential on other transportation modes.) anyway, your comic is okay! if you wanted a bed and an outlet, you should have bought a sleeper. if you only buy it for the night portions of the trip, it isn’t that expensive. plus you get a free dinner that way!
