ask your moon dog buddy!

And you call yourselves advanced. Don’t you guys have google ?

700 light years? More like 4.3

Whoa! Bleeb is so well hidden I almost missed him.

Why is he giving directions to the dog?

Bleeb’s Uber driver is off to his next customer.

You can’t get there from here…..

And the aliens thought they were from Uranius…

You forgot “When you get to the fork in the road, take it.”

Dang, no little bug.

Turn Left at Orion (google it)

“…and have a safe trip! Oh, and please accept this um, little blue bag from our dog as a token of our appreciation.”

Hell, I still don’t know the way to San Jose.

Just make sure to stop at Ned’s Bar to refill your growler cuz you got a long way to go.

Dude speaking from abduction experience?

With those directions, he won’t be able to do anything but miss it.

Should have used his galaxy positioning system.

And when you get to the Slauson Cutoff…….

I’m betting the old man and his dog just returned from a visit to Sirius.

But wait until exactly 1:34 PM. Straight up is a surprisingly fluid direction.

“Turn left where the old barn used to be”

By the way, could you return this probe when you get there?

I knew that Alpha Centauri is 4.25 light years from our solar system when I was six years old. Yeeesh!

And when you get there, tell them Groucho sent you.

You’re gonna overshoot it. By a lot. Lay in a new course, Mr Checkov.

Man…that old timer’s been around the block!!

Many, many cartoonists lack acceptable spelling, grammar and English skills. Some also apparently lack common astronomical knowledge as well
