    You need owl guano to make hoo-siery drawers.

    Robin guano to make Chirp-pendales,

    Pigeon guano to make Dove-ans …

    The aliens might want to check the guano for coronavirus. The bats they come from are a soup ingredient in China. Not even Swedish Chef attempted that entree.

    Poor Pastis, he probably thought of "close encounters of the turf kind” in the shower then laughed out loud and spent 3 months thinking of the strip

    Looks like Pastis had drawn upon all his comic art powers to come up with an authentic looking alien. Too bad he failed so miserably.

    I think they’re confusing a counter with a dresser or a chest of drawers. Nevertheless the alien was probably correct to use his ray gun.
