So fun! I'm glad I rediscovered these at the library the other day.

Not much to say about this short comic book. I loved the comics back then on Twitter. They're cozy, sometimes funny but also a little thought-provoking as they depict everyday stuff and occurrences from an alien perspective. A nice palate cleanser.

An interesting, and funny series of comics involving blue aliens on another planet who behave like humans, only they use more convoluted language to refer to the same things, behaviours and actions that we would do: like "flying machine's side-portal responsibility zone" for a plane's exit row seat. They mean the same thing, only the aliens' words are, strangely, more correct and funnier.
An enjoyable book, just to see how aliens might refer to the same things and actions we do in a more, well, alien manner.

This was fun. It’s basically a pretty generic comic strip, but all the characters are bobble-headed aliens and speak in a delightfully constructed way that replaces the names of things with multi-word descriptions instead. So refrigerator becomes sustenance preserver, for instance. There are some profound moments, and some incredibly funny ones. Worth reading.
I love reading the individual comics on Instagram and this was also extremely enjoyable! 10 out of 10.
Nathan Pyle's comics are always hilarious when I stumble across them in random places of the internet.
It turns out they're still hilarious in dead tree form. Yay!
