check your diaper for a quarter!

Then your rocket might get towed.

No cop is gonna fine you for not putting money in a parking meter on the moon, but it would’ve made for a nice prank if the Apollo 11 astronauts would’ve put one there for when they were still doing lunar missions.

So we’re not going to Aldi’s then?

Is this actually a binocular-viewer …

… for observing at distant things – like the earth?

Bleeb seems fine with the pretty much non-existent atmosphere of the moon!

“Sorry buddy… all my change is in my pants pockets back on the lander. And these space suits… DON’T HAVE POCKETS!!

“Okay, okay… no need to get snippy! … so where’d you put the keys to the lander door?”

When politicians take control of the moon?

A ticket from a place you are not from can be torn up if there if no reciprocal agreement between where you live and where ticket is issued. If you go back there though you have to watch that you’re not caught.

Moon aliens are following American style! Money or nothing!

Had to ask four times?

Ask the little grey guy for some change

Ignore it. They will never be able to send you the ticket.

Standard advice: “Give him no quarter.”

No, that is not a parking meter.

A quarter? That must have left there from the last moon landing.

Which phase is the Moon in? He may have already used the last quarter.

Hiya Bleeb! The guy just wants to look in some windows on earth. I know you can relate. :)

Don’t hurt us, we come in peace…

Like the Ren & Stimpy episode “Black Hole Of Terror,” in which they locate all the missing left socks on a space mission. Unfortunately, the last bus home only accepts exact change, so they miss it. Then Stimpy says, “Silly me! I had a whole pocket full of change!” right before they implode.

Might just want to rethink the idea that the moon is not already occupied…..

More proof that the Moon Landings were all hoaxes!
