Description
Here is a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1: The scene shows a view of the Earth from space, with a planet resembling Earth and a large ringed planet, possibly Saturn, in the foreground. Above is a speech bubble from the ringed planet saying, "Bring to us the wisest species on Earth."
Panel 2: A character with dark skin, wearing a red blazer, responds with confusion, "But… but isn't us?" Another character, who has light brown hair and a beard, laughs and says, "Ha! You who make war? You pollute the skies?!"
Panel 3: The red blazer character asserts, "I knew it! They don’t want to meet us. They want to meet dolphins, blue whales, or perhaps the regimented yet enigmatic eusocial termite!"
Panel 4: A new character, sporting long hair and a green shirt, is addressing someone off panel, saying, "I’m here for the mega-brain that lives in the center of Earth. You there, mega-brain?"
Panel 5: The red blazer character adds, "Hey. I guess it’s time to go home, huh?" with a character looking slightly anxious responding, "Right."
Panel 6: The long-haired character continues, "But it’s so erotic having all these dumb carbon blobs scampering over my planet. It took me four billion years to make them, and it’s like a constant tickle inside my…"
Panel 7: A voice interrupts with a command: "Get in the ship!"
Panel 8: An alien craft appears above the characters, evoking surprise as they glance up.
Panel 9: The last panel shows a group of diverse characters looking up in astonishment and concern as they stare at the ship, with one character with long hair expressing disbelief.
This comic features humor about alien perspectives on humanity and the exploration of wisdom and intelligence in a light-hearted manner.
