Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 16, 2015
Transcript:
Clavin: As supreme earthling potentate, I'm afraid I can't let you just come in and take over the planet. Alien: You make this difficult. Alien: prepare for war. Calvin: Let's not be hasty. I'll trade you earth for 50 alien tree leaves. Alien: Pst! These primitive fools must use leaves as currency! Alien: it's a deal! Calvin: Hurry. Nebular! At light speed, We can just make it! Alien: Our leader will be most pleased.

I doubt this will end well. Whenever Calvin starts interacting with aliens, It’s not a good sign, although I love his time travelling experiences.
