    “In miles or lightyears ?”
    Genius last panel. Jeffrey looks like a little Einstein.

    Try light minutes there kiddo.

    I thought Lars was green? And he must be wearing a personal anti-gravity unit to be functioning in Earth’s gravity… and then there is the air pressure, and the temperature and …
    ( I’m reading Kage Baker’s “The Empress of Mars”, so these things come to mind…)

    I hope Lars didn’t bring the Martian “Danae”!

    No, Lars wasn’t green. It was his card that was green. All aliens are ‘sposed to have one of those.

    Jeffrey should have said that Lars is from Los Angeles. (Lars is an L.A. -an (sounds like alien) someone from L.A.)

    Danae seems to be taking this pretty well…

    Where’s that border security fence?

    Just because Lars is living on Mars now doesn’t mean that he’s originally from Mars.

    wndrwrthg and gmartin997–how do you know that Lars is from Mars? (excuse the coincidental rhyme)

    Remember Star Trek’s “Assignment Earth” episode (the one with Robert Lansing playing Gary Seven–the one human whom Spock could not subdue with neck-pinch )

    NebulousRikulau, where does it even state that Lars is current-resident on Mars?

    Measuring by ruler is a good way to go. At least you won’t spill anything.

    Danae looks bored by the “alien”

    Mr. Miller - please end this Mars nonsense. It is wrong on so many levels.

    Jeffrey is obviously supposed to represent the voice of science through reason and evidence, yet in this Mars thing he has apparently bought into the hoax that has been pervading the internet recently. He is acting more like Danae’s character than his own.

    Mars is NOT going to have a close encounter with Earth in August. Indeed, Mars will be 60% closer to Earth in January than in August.

    Mars will never (hopefully) appear as large as the full moon in our skies. If it does, both planets and their moons will be destroyed by the enormous gravitational and tidal forces that would result.

    Astronomers do NOT measure distances to Mars from Earth in light years - to the Oort cloud maybe, or to the nearest star - but not Mars.

    And on and on it goes. Please abandon this scientific fiasco and do some actual research before you damage the credibility of real scientists further.

    This is so unlike all of the rest of your work, which is a cut above the mundane. Please go back to what you do so well.

    Thank you.

    Be patient. It will be explained later this week. And there will be more revelations in two weeks.

    Another thing to keep in mind… IT’S A CARTOON!

    I will patiently await your promised rationalization with bated breath.

    rsb24:
    Were Mr. Wiley a SCIENTIST, then you could fault him on scientific matters. But as he is a CARTOONIST (and a bleeep good one too), he may do whatever he wishes. We, the readers have already suspended our beief in the rational world and have accepted
    A) A talking horse and dog
    B) Giant lobsters invading Maine
    C) A teleportation device built by a child
    D) And a myriad of other things that have occurred within the strip
    Mr. Wiley has never presented himself as a scientist, so lighten up. After all it is just a comic.
    Oh come on! I can’t say d a r n?

    Doctor ToonGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    wndrwrthg - Very good points.
    The only thing I can add to that is -
    I’m really looking forward to how this turns out.

  18. aerwalt

    aerwaltGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Yes, Mr. Wiley is a very good and amusing cartoonist.

    cleokayaGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    I can’t believe how many people like to over analyze a cartoon. It isn’t like we are in a science class here. Appreciate what is before your eyes and accept as funny, or not. But leave it as it is. Sheesh!! Oh, an with a name like Lars, he most likely is an odd looking Swede.

    TO: rsb24
    RE: Your Scientific Treatise

    Are you suggesting these fictional comic kids don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to scientific facts??

    Wow, if that’s true, I’m outta here!
    Like you, I read comics to LEARN!—not laugh.

    I think Wiley should be publicly flogged for cracking me up.

    Yes, but for most of us these points are within our realm of experience. This comic’s subject however…

    rsb……sigh i signed up to diss ppl like you but other ppl obviously have taken care of that, but it can be measured in light seconds which is a fraction of lightyears, and is meant as a joke…..

    Hey, Jeffry, when you get to Mars,look up some old friends of mine, John Carter and his beautiful wife, Deja Thorus.
    They can show you around. Take a sword with you, and don’t wander too far from Helium, unless you take somebody like Tars Tarkus with you…

    Lars is not from Mars. Proxima Centuri office of AAA.

    Hey RSB24. Chill. This is just a comic…intended to entertain and provide us with chuckles, not facts in science. Even Star Trek wasn’t scientifically accurate, but it was entertaining and occasionally funny.

    I wonder what the world would be like if all the people who get overly antsy about comic strips decided instead to channel their energy into something profitable for the human race and/or the environment. I suppose we’ll never know, because it’s easier to be lazy and rant about comics and people generally are lazy lumps of biomass.

    if you were a “genius” (see upgrade) you could go back more than 7 days and see Lars at his computer, on Mars (i think/assume)!

    Yep, treered. May 30.
    When Lars’ friend says, “So you’re saying Earthlings are going to come here and harvest us for food?”
