Panel 1: Inside a spaceship cockpit, a green alien with large eyes addresses a human leader (a balding man in a dark shirt, seen from behind, standing by a red curtained window).
Green alien: "HUMAN LEADER! 50 YEARS AGO, WE NOTICED SIGNALS FROM YOUR 'TELEVISION' BEGAN TO INTERFERE WITH OUR OWN COMMUNICATION."
Human leader: "FASCINATING! YOU KNOW, SEVERAL OF OUR ASTRONOMERS PREDICTED THAT-"
Panel 2: A view of space. A fleet of yellow flying saucers fires green beams at the Earth, which is exploding in a burst of red. (The human's sentence is cut short by the planet's destruction.)
Votey:
A close-up of the green alien holding up a small device or card. The text on it reads: "SEINFELD AGAIN." Below that is a scribbled signature/marking.

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: Inside a spaceship, a big-eyed green alien tells a human leader (a balding man seen from behind), 'Human leader! 50 years ago, we noticed signals from your "television" began to interfere with our own communication.' The human replies, 'Fascinating! You know, several of our astronomers predicted that-'. Panel 2: A fleet of yellow flying saucers in space fires green beams at Earth, blowing the planet up in a burst of red, cutting the human off mid-sentence. The joke: the aliens are annihilating humanity over TV signal interference. Votey: a close-up of the green alien holding up a card that reads 'SEINFELD AGAIN' with a scribbled mark below, implying a particular show is the worst offender.
