A comic from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith (https://www.smbc-comics.com/) [Panel 1] A little green alien holding a ray gun and wearing a little helmet at the top of its comically tall head confidently strides off of a flying saucer across a green field toward the nearest human. ALIEN: "We have come to take your planet!" HUMAN, expressionless: "That's fine." [Panel 2] ALIEN: "But--" HUMAN, holding a rope, interrupting the alien: "I don't think we're fit to govern ourselves. Here, I'll tie myself up." [Panel 3] ALIEN: "I don't think..." HUMAN, partially tied up, interrupting again: "Could you help me with the ropes? I've failed because humans are failure." [Panel 4] ALIEN: "You sho--" HUMAN, now fully tied, interrupting once again: "I'd ask another human, but humans are no longer capable of taking coordinated action." [Panels 5 & 6] ALIEN, flabbergasted: "You're kind of sapping the joy out of this." HUMAN: "Can I work in your mines? Or perhaps you'd just like to eat me?" [Panel 7] ALIEN, looking confused and despondent: "You want to be eaten?" HUMAN, showing a tinge of hope for the first time: "It'd be nice to contribute to something valuable." [Panel 8] ALIEN, alone, mouth agape: [speechless] [Panel 9] TITLE: "Later..." ALIEN COWORKER: "How'd the conquest go?" ALIEN, no longer wearing helmet, with a thousand yard stare: "It was a disaster." ALIEN COWORKER: "What should we do?" ALIEN: "...Send them a fruit basket?"
