Comic Description:

The comic is presented in a vertical format and features a mix of colorful, cartoonish illustrations with bold outlines.

  1. Panel 1: A large, green alien beast is depicted in the night sky. It has an exaggerated, cartoonish appearance, and several small figures (representing people) gaze up at it with wide eyes.

    • Text: "The great alien beast appeared in the night sky"
  2. Panel 2: A group of officials (heads of state) gather around a table, looking serious. One of them has a beard, while others are bald or have varying hairstyles.

    • Text: "The heads of state quickly reached a consensus"
    • Speech Bubble: "It looks evil. Ipso facto, it's evil."
  3. Panel 3: Different countries' military weapons are shown, including missiles and tanks. The scene indicates urgency and chaos.

    • Text: "Against the foreign foe, Earth united"
  4. Panel 4: A close-up shot of missiles launching, emphasizing the panic and action within the nations.

    • Text: "Our entire nuclear arsenal was exhausted in hours"
  5. Panel 5: Missiles are depicted flying, but they seem to have little effect on the alien, which is shown passing through them unscathed.

    • Text: "But somehow… the missiles passed through it"
  6. Panel 6: A masked man stands at a podium giving a press conference, looking confident.

    • Text: "At which point a masked man gave a press conference"
    • Speech Bubble: "There was no monster. It was an illusion. A deception. But now that we are rid of these horrible weapons, true peace may begin."
  7. Panel 7: Two figures are shown at a table, appearing confused. One of them looks at the masked man expectantly.

    • Text: "So… nations can attack each other with no risk of thermonuclear annihilation?"
  8. Panel 8: The masked man looks uncertain, with a slightly awkward expression.

    • Speech Bubble: "Uh…"
  9. Panel 9: A newspaper headline is visible with expansive text, showing a dramatic turn of events. The visual below the text seems to illustrate chaos.

    • Text: "ALL COUNTRIES INVADE EACH OTHER AT ONCE"
    • Speech Bubble from the newspaper illustration: "WHEEE!"

This comic blends humor with social commentary, exploring themes of conflict, perception, and the absurdity of war.
