That wasn’t an alien mutilation. It was Laser Pony on a field trip, discovering a) he has hay fever, or, b) in the countryside, you are never more than 9 feet from a spider.
This is the crackpot conspiracy theorist in a world where aliens, and the supernatural are already widely proven facts. They invent ‘new’ crackpot conspiracies.
I always wondered, would conspiracy theorists die down in presence of Alien evidence or escalate? It only seems natural that we as a whole cannot at times accept the whole truth.
Conspiracy nuts will always come up with some new conspiracy. They’re not actually driven by a need to know or by any real reason for thinking anything that they think. The whole mindset is a search for something about which they can feel special and superior for knowing what the supposed sheep are ignorant of.
There’s always something for them to focus on. There’s a whole lot of overlap between moon-landing hoaxers, 9/11 conspiracy nuts, and anti-vaxxers, even if lots of them tend to focus on one particular bugaboo.
I don’t use the word skeptic or theorist, because they aren’t deserving of the terms. A true skeptic accepts the truth of a proposition when it’s demonstrated to be true by the preponderance of the evidence. A theorist has a coherent model that can be tested and is falsifiable, whereas conspiracy nuts accept people with dozens of mutually exclusive alternate claims for a subject and rarely try to reach anything approaching a consensus.
A conspiracy nut just maintains that a preponderance of evidence leading to a conclusion other than his preferred one indicates that the members of the conspiracy are just that good.
Oh, and apparently steel doesn’t melt at that temperature … never mind that it does lose structural integrity and buckle at that temperature.
Not to mention that, if you don’t agree with them, then you’re against them and probably an “agent” of “the powers that be” and ” encovering” the “truth”.
Those damn aliens sneaking onto our planet, taking our jobs. It’s a conspiracy, I tell you!
Let´s build a wall and let them pay for it.
Nobody has a problem with a handful of aliens, but when millions of them show up someone has to do something about it.
Alien is misspelled in the second panel
Ahah! You found the real Alien!
To be fair, Allens are disturbing creatures too. And we’ll never talk about the Franks
Franks? As in the medieval Germanic residents of the lands in the general vicinity of the Rhine? Do I detect a hint of Francophobia?
To be frank I have to interject here
Ball Park Franks? We gonna be grilling here?
Skeptical is also misspelled in first panel.
The proper term would be closer to speciest, not racist. *shakes head* We expect better of you Sinclair. :p
Maybe he’s fine with the pink aliens of any given species. It’s just the gray ones he has a problem with.
I guess that the right term is “Xenophobe”… just saying
Of course, you have Loki fucking around and suddenly every Asgard is an asshole, right?
Oh man, this is great. For a second, I forgot what comic I was reading so seeing the sudden mashup of the two genres hit me by surprise. Hilarious.
Of course there are aliens on Earth. They are waiting till the moment we destroy ourselves and then they say: Oh an empty planet. MINE!!!
But its radioactiv contaminated!
Now and? I´m vaccinated against radioactivity since i budded out of my mothers ellbow.
Yeah, Murdoch, stop typecasting! Not all aliens are little gray men!
Oh, except for Little Greyman. But he’s cool :)
Wait until he meet the aggressive, black aliens with lots of fangs (including ON their tongue!) and acid blood…
And like to ah… “hug” ahem… faces.

Well, it COULD have been Buckaress, ruminating on doing some barbecue-ing on her way back from her freind’s (can’t remember her name) sister’s place.
The poor cows never stood a chance.
I’m assuming the country in question is Australia

Sometimes. They’re more likely to call you a sheeple … unless you’re Jewish or something like that. Then you’re probably a lizard person in disguise.
“Conspiracy nuts will always come up with some new conspiracy. ”
The lack of conspiracy’s is in itself a conspiracy.
Well, clearly. If someone wasn’t covering it up, we’d know more about the conspiracy.
