Sapient life (human like as in intelligence). Sentient just means it can feel. A rabbit and a lamb can feel but they’re not particularly intelligent. Sorry. Pet peeve of mine.
Prior to reading this episode, I thougt, I hope its a Spaceman Spiff strip. WOW, how lucky can i get, eh? I’m gonna go buy a lottery ticket with my lucky numbers on it!
Much of Calvin’s Spaceman Spiff adventures appear to take place on really desolate looking planets. Was Watterson making a point about space exploration?

I wonder what were planets Ahnooie 1, 2, and 3 like.

Calvin should know that survival of the fittest would guarantee that blob had more to it than meets the eye!

It just stares straight ahead, complete unaware of anything around it??
Is he staring into a mirror?

I shudder to think about the kind of adult Calvin will turn into.

“Compassionately,…Spiff sets his blaster on liquefy”?!? Has Spiff forgotten the Prime Directive?!?

Careful, Calvin. Euthanasia might not be legal on Ahnooie-4!

Reminds of an old Outer Limits episode, don’t hurt the little alien, it’s already send out a distress call.

Sadly, now that would be assault with a deadly weapon.

That’s Spiff for you. Always shooting aliens just for being aliens, even when they pose no obvious threat.
