Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 30, 1992
Transcript:
Calvin: The fearless Spaceman Spiff flies low over an uncharted planet! Suddenly, the alien-indicator light flashes! The bizarrotron shows a 3.7 weirdness level! Our hero hits the decelerator! Watching for the alien, Spiff reflects that weirdness is nature's way of adapting life to its environment. Species are endlessly inventive in their will to survive! Zounds!! There it is! What horrible circumstances of evolution would conspire to make a creature so profoundly ugly? Our hero moves in for further examination of its hideousness! Susie: What are you looking at?! Get away from me! According to Spiffs field guide, the creature is a gurl! Spiff makes a note that the bizarrotron has been reading a bit low lately. Monster: Weirdo!
Now, that’s an alien.
