It obstructs our view of Venus!

Looks like a space highway is under construction throughout this neighbourhood. Again.

Apparently they reached the character limit on their tweet.

We have got to do something about our interplanetary p.r.

There goes Krypton.

Um … haven’t the crew of the RU Sirius been dealing with extraterrestrial beings and civilizations for a good while now?

BTW: The more correct term for an inhabitant of Earth isn’t “Earthling” but “Terrestrial” or “Terran”.

It could also be “Exploiting”.

That last word could lead to much detritus in our system!

Stupid autocorrect.

Their speech to text isn’t any better than ours, apparently.

TO SERVE MAN…

These aliens appear to be big bang theorists.

K-9, Where’s the Earth Shattering Kaboom?… There was supposed to be an Earth Shattering Kaboom!

Wow. I expected to say “we have been trying to reach you about your cars warranty

Stupid autocorrect.

Er, we mean * EXPLOITING.

I can’t believe the fools actually sent a message on the Voyager and even put a space map to locate earth. Why would anyone in their right mind invite unnecessary extraterrestrial trouble? Any race more advanced than ourselves can just invade and wipe us outta existence. It’s a dangerous delusion to think that extraterrestrials can be benevolent instead of malevolent. It’s better that aliens don’t know about earth. I say, send a mission to retrieve the map on voyager and destroy it. We got enough trouble and invaders on this planet already. No need to invite extraterrestrial threats.

This bypass has got to be built and it’s going to be built!

After 2020, that might be a welcome change.

Their browser must be Internet Exploder!

Vogons in yellow, lumpy ships will soon be appearing.

At least they were cordial in their approach

Effin’ Autocorrect.

Dr Who saves the planet every Christmas.

…unless we do it first!

“Sorry. Stupid spell check.” ;-)

What do we need their help for?

Must be Marvin the Martian. Earth is obscuring his view of Venus.

I think Stephen Hawking could have been right, and we should not be advertising earth to our cosmic neighbors. After all they may not be as caring and peaceful as we are.

Friggin’ Intergalactic SpellCheck.

We will bring many new and interesting diseases.

The book is called “ How to Serve Man”….ah, the Twilight Zone…

It’s a code scrambled on purpose. Real message= Heed this Dirt Ming RE: schmook flower exploding your palace, Flash.or may it is the spell checker

Always double check that post before hitting the send buffoon.

The problem with SETI radio search is that it will probably only detect intended communication. Ordinary communication becomes compressed as technology improves to the point where it is virtually indistinguishable from noise. Since transmitting a direct signal deliberately is thousands or millions of times more expensive than building a receiver, my guess is that cheapskate civilizations are plentiful but just listening , like us.

Making space for a hyperspatial bypass, right?

This must be the text that the aliens were typing last Sunday —https://www.gocomics.com/brewsterrockit/2020/09/27

I am reminded of the Douglas Adams book where the aliens were explaining to earthlings that they had PLENTY of time to have filed a petition to stop the interstellar by way and if they couldn’t be bothered to travel the few light years – it really was their own fault.

An Autocorrect feature that doesn’t work.

Yet another Alien civilization running Windoze on their computers?
