Gary Larson busts our whole species
By Ed Itor | January 1, 2007
A Larson cartoon twists our egos just so: Two ETs, the ones with the eyes on stalks, are hiding behind a tree in a park. One has a clipboard tucked under his arm. They are near but out of sight of a paved walk. Propped against a tree opposite them on the other side of the walk is a full-size dressing room mirror. Generic dumpy human male, out for a stroll, approaches on the walk. One ET says to the other, “And now we’ll see if it attacks its own reflection.”
