Anatomy of an Alien - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of an Alien

DESCRIPTION: A thin grey-green humanoid with a large bulbous head and large black eyes raises a thin hand in a wave. He stands in an oval of bright yellow light rising up from the ground, reflecting on him.

JOKES:
- Says “Take me to your leader,” but IMMEDIATELY REGRETS IT.
- “What a strong chin!” …is not a phrase he hears a lot.
- When you’ve spent three decades traveling to Earth… only to realize you left the abduction list on the counter.
- INCREDIBLY POWERFUL BRAIN! (Paired with muscles that have the strength of a wet Q-tip.)
- THREE TIMES he said “Take me to your leader” before realizing he was talking to a fat bulldog named “Chalupa”
- Why is his ship saucer-shaped? All the better for 1970’s architectural conversation pits.
- Space is too big to explore in person! So advanced civilizations probably send out self-replicating “Neumann Probes,” which then 3-D print biological drones when they arrive. LIKE THIS GUY.
- (Points to a previous joke) Look, it explains why he’s Ken-doll smooth.
