It's Never Aliens

"I've become addicted to media attention and am embracing increasingly fringe beliefs in order to maintain notoriety" - also Michio Kaku probably
I’m not sure about their experimental methodology, but their grasp of the sociology of science is disturbingly plausible.
I love these goobers.
Oh gods, I love these two together!
Look at these two goobers.
Marten's deadpan "I'm cutting your funding" line made me laugh hard in the middle of a train station xD
Wow. Liz really hit it on the head in that last panel.
I am loving these two as a pair more and more with every strip, they create such silly mess
Well, I hope it translates well, when not drunk though.
This is how you go from "public intellectual" to "contesting my social media ban on free speech grounds"
Oh the hangovers are gonna huuurrrttt tomorrow
I shall be wincing and moaning in sympathy with them.
Martin is too late. They have bonded.
Is THAT what happened to my Gorilla Glue?
It was Mr. Burns all along.
"What have we been drinking?" *sniffs *looks "It's green."
Mr. Scott to Dr. McCoy (from The Tholian Web) on an antidote: "One good slug of this, and you can hit a man with phaser stun, and he'd never feel it or even know it." "Does it make a good mix with Scotch?" "It should." "I'll let you know.
Ah yes Martin, being sober at the drunk party is never fun.... Unless you start doing the bar tending and get creative.... Muhahaha
A stranger is just a friend whom hasn't yet been rigorously tested in several rounds of clinical trials.
It’s completely normal to polygraph prospective friends, right?
which is the sidekick?
It's always the gremlin.
(mad British scientist voice) "She BLINDed me with SCIENCE!!"
"Good Heavens, Dr. Appleboom, you're boozi-ful!"
Ah, Martin joke's on you that bottle's been empty for a long while.
This is probably how most of the departments in Cubetown were formed.
drink more beer, we must undergo peer review!
Or would that be beer review?
I can confirm this is how research professors speak to each other when students aren’t around.
Emily and Liz will wake up tomorrow with massive hangovers, in bed, in each other's arms, not remembering how they got there, but OK with it.
Well, I can see that working for Liz, but it might be a little messy to detach Emily's arms.
I love them and hope they become good friends!!!
This is definitely adorable and I hope they eventually fall in love.
Look, the shape-shifting lizard aliens aren't here to invade. They're just on vacation. You can't really blame them for wanting to get away from their planet. It's full of lizards.
*Looks at our planet* They choose... poorly.
Is this a dig at Avi Loeb? Because... Yeah.
Sadly, the syndrome occurs quite frequently. I doubt that this is meant as a dig at any individual.
Liz gets drunk and starts yelling about imaginary research. Who could have seen it coming? https://web.archive.org/web/20260206124519/https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5313

This is why their first journal article will be dedicated to Marten: so he won’t be apart of the double blind pier review before the article is accepted for publication. As a form of petty revenge.
Wait! You can have a pier review without Ol' Boaty?
NO MY FUNDING!!!
"... Sinking in a gentle pool of wine."
Wait. Isn't Green Ghost actually Absinthe? Well, they do say absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. BFFs Forever!
Absithe is actually a great digestif, particularly for lactose intolerance. Thus, absinthe makes the fart go yonder.
Liz: I'd rather have that bottle in front of me than... A FRONTAL LOBOTOMY!
The full Tom Waits quote: "I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me, than a pre-frontal lobotomy."
This is "single malt", right? As in, it has a single grain of malt in it.
Hmm. I've heard of "single malt" scotch before, of course. But where is the double malt scotch? The TRIPLE MALT scotch? Or scotch malted milk balls? The candy that will get you drunk as a lord, even at work!!!
I love the SimCity 2000 reference
Came here to say this ^
heh. the tall one is enabling the short one
I heard that guy is a dick
But there IS a little green man on the bottle!
Did Liz find the Alien Scotch?
it hasn't been aliens yet...
Yet. My personal hypothesis: Aliens are here. They are giant cats dressed up in lizard suits, and only then wearing a human suit to complete the disguise.
