Panel 1: A man and a woman stand on a hilltop at night, the man at a telescope, silhouetted against a dark sky.
Man: Movies where aliens want to have sex with humans are totally implausible.
Panel 2: The bald, bearded man in glasses speaks.
Man: Why would they want to have sex with us? We're biologically incompatible. Not even from the same tree of life.
Panel 3: The woman, with brown hair, faces him.
Woman: Imagine the reverse of that movie. Humans show up at an alien planet to have sex with everyone.
Panel 4: The woman continues.
Woman: You might say that's a goofy premise. You might say the characters are acting immorally. But does any part of you consider it "implausible"?
Panel 5: Close-up on the bald, bearded man, eyes wide, looking stunned.
Panel 6: The woman speaks while both stand silhouetted on the hilltop again.
Man (off-panel): Baffled by my logical reasoning?
Woman: No, realizing you just described the original Star Trek.
Votey:
A loose, sketchy line-drawing of a face.
Voice: I wonder how many cloacas Captain Kirk got with.

A six-panel SMBC comic. A man and a woman stand on a hilltop at night, the man at a telescope. He says movies where aliens want to have sex with humans are totally implausible, arguing they would be biologically incompatible and not even from the same tree of life. The woman counters: imagine the reverse, where humans show up at an alien planet to have sex with everyone. You might call it goofy or immoral, she says, but would any part of you call it implausible? A close-up shows the bald, bearded man wide-eyed and stunned. He asks if she's baffled by his logical reasoning. She replies: no, realizing you just described the original Star Trek. Votey: a loose sketch of a face says, "I wonder how many cloacas Captain Kirk got with."
