Sigh. I can’t help but sometimes get the feeling that mankind is simply not deserving of womankind. Like, they make all the best attempts to be friendly and social with us, but our relationships with them end up being limited by our own transactional world-views when it comes to those of the opposite sex. Too many guys, when the meet a new gal who’s pretty, their first thought is usually “OK, she’s nice, but how far can I actually get with her?” And how he answers that question more or less ends up deciding the depth of all their future interactions. Whereas women, by way of response, end up thinking “OK, maybe this guy is alright, but is he being nice to me in a purely platonic way, or does he expect something more out of it?” Many, afraid of being misinterpreted by the wrong sort, choose to just be aloof or withdrawn, and of course end up being labeled as “cold” or “bitchy.”
We’re like two foreign tribes met at a river, each trying to get something out of the other through gifts or barter, and neither of us quite knows the other’s intentions, and any moment a wrong gesture or misunderstanding can lead to open warfare. And of course, you got the troublemakers like Jordan, who want to skip all the diplomacy and just grab what they want and drag it back to their tent. Guys like that pretty much spoil the game for everyone else.
I’m not sure how good an astronaut Jordan would be. We see in Panel 2 that he hasn’t yet mastered the operation of that high-tech device known as a “fork”.

They would need elastic technology from the future to still function at all after Jordon’s modeled them.

This is the best comic in the world, and probably the whole galaxy.
I just hadn’t said that for at least a day, so it was time.
