A newspaper clipping that reads: Hello, MARS! by R.S. Richardson, Mr. Wilson Observatory Martian Pictured Superior to Man Hardy, Intelligent Beings Visualized in Theories of Lowell.

A newspaper headline reading "MORE BRAINS IN MARTIANS THAN IN PEOPLE OF EARTH."

A newspaper headline reading "HOPES SOON TO TALK WITH MARS: Professor Todd Says Martians Are Amazed at Our Stupidity."

A newspaper headline. It reads: "MARTIANS ARE OUR SUPERIORS: Have Abandoned War to Build Immense Canals for Preservation of Mankind."

Some might say it hasn't aged well, but I prefer to think Bevis is an innovative drag artist leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia, ignoring the haters, and living their best life. youtu.be/FshU58nI0Ts?...

Farewell to a great pod! I may have a tiny cameo in here purely to further a hyperspecific, decade-old agenda I can’t let go of

I’m sorry! It might be one of those urban legends!
