Description

Here’s the transcribed dialogue from the comic:

Panel 1:
Alien 1: "Your world and ours share a special bond: a constellation."
Alien 2: "Our planets are equidistant and on opposite sides of what you call Ursa Major - the Great Bear - even though it actually looks more like a horse."

Panel 2:
Alien 1: "We come in peace."
Alien 2: "It does too look like a bear! See, there’s the head and there’s the tail."
Alien 3: "Have you even seen a bear, Todd?"

Panel 3:
Alien 1: "Not in person, but I’ve-"
Alien 2: "Maybe read a fucking book, then."

Panel 4:
Alien 3: "Bears have big poofy tails, not long thin ones."
Alien 1: "Don’t you tell me about bears, you alien prick! Use a little imagination."

Panel 5:
Alien 2: "You know what takes imagination?! Figuring out why we talk to humans instead of blowing them up!"
Alien 3: "Because if you kill us, apparently there'll be nobody left who can tell a horse from a bear."

Panel 6:
Text: "ELSEWHERE…"
Child: "Mama, why did the aliens blow up our home planet?"
Mother: "That remains a mystery."
