Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: Alien 1: "Hahaha! Now, let us travel to Earth to consume the humans!" Alien 2: "What?"

Panel 2: Alien 1: "You do know the humans are 25 light years away, right? It’ll take at least 30 generations to get there." Alien 2: "Then our descendants will consume the humans."

Panel 3: Alien 1: "The humans evolved separately from us. They probably won’t be tasty or nutritious, and they might be poison." Alien 2: "But we’re low on meat here!"

Panel 4: Alien 1: "No, we aren’t. That’s media hype. Anyway, if we can afford to create a ship with food for 30 generations?"

Panel 5: Alien 2: "Then instead we will mate with the humans." Alien 1: "We don’t even share a common ancestor. Being able to mate with humans is less likely than 1,000 random keys fitting 1,000 random locks."

Panel 6: Alien 2: "Then… we will observe the humans for science!" Alien 1: "Okay, that might be interesting. How do you want to do that?"

Panel 7: Alien 2: "Find people who've recently had emotional experiences and appear to them while they're sleepy or intoxicated. Hahaha!" Alien 1: "I’m going back to my room."
