Description

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

Panel 1: An alien with a green skin tone and large, black eyes stands next to a human male. The alien is wearing a blue outfit and holding a drink with a straw. The human, who has short, light brown hair and is wearing a black jacket, looks puzzled. The alien says, "What do you mean, humans are a 'meat-race'?"

Panel 2: The alien continues speaking, saying, "You were designed to be a delicacy on Zorblax-7." The alien has a smirk, while the human looks slightly shocked.

Panel 3: The human responds passionately, "Then why do we have consciousness? Or poetry? Or art, religion, music, mathematics!"

Panel 4: The alien asks a question, "Why did you get taller in the 19th century, fatter in the 20th century, and organic feed in the 21st century?"

Panel 5: The human starts to respond, saying, "Be…ah, shit." He looks frustrated, turning slightly away from the alien.

Panel 6: The alien urges gently, "Please don't cry. It’ll ruin your salt ratio." The alien appears concerned, while the human looks conflicted.

The comic humorously addresses themes of existence and value while playing with the absurdity of how humans might be perceived by an alien culture.
