Oh, no! Not Uncle Martin!

How old do you have to be to reference this joke? (60)

My Favorite Martian is a TV show from the ‘60s that I think could be successfully rebooted with today’s special effects.

If you’ll look in the lower right corner of the panel you’ll see that knowledge of 1960’s TV is not necessary to enjoy this strip.

Why did the Martian come to Earth? Because Curiosity killed his cat.

“I said that’s the biggest durn Iguana I ever saw, and then I shot him.”

Well, a man’s gotta eat.

And this is a repeat from years ago when people “caught” the reference on the first reading.

You really shouldn’t eat that, you don’t know where it’s been.

Oh no. I hope it isn’t THE favourite Martian.
