Strange Brew by John Deering for August 28, 2020

They may see it if they are taking selfies.

Welcome to America.

That’s why there aren’t any good pictures.

So much for my hope that someone would be able to get a photo to document one once and for all.

“Spatial Distancing.”

Nobody looks up and enjoys the sky anymore…

I’m set on my 2020 bingo card. Alien invasion or super-volcano eruption would give me the win.

They came to give the people of Earth the solutions to every problem we have … but nobody noticed they were here.

I have a wonderful old photograph from the 1940s. A park with a path lined with benches. Every bench had people sitting on it, and every person had their head buried in a newspaper. People today had to learn it from somebody.

Would love to see that picture!

“I am the eye in the sky, looking at youuu…”

If the extraterrestrials in the flying saucer have any sense, they’ll turn around and go back home.

Yep! That’s about it!

Good thing they’re all occupied, otherwise the UFO might think they’re hostile if they noticed and all turned their phone towards it.

That’s my bet for October!

At least they are all wearing masks!

Wait – isn’t this how we won “The War of the Worlds”?

Just as well…we’re better off not having them meet our “leader” at the moment.

Unidentified viral object?

Then again, it could be this year nothing would really surprise anyone anymore.

GREEN LIVES MATTER

If they noticed it, they’d all be lining up to get in and get taken away.

In Antman and The Wasp, it’s crucial our hero be able to sneak down a street. No problem. Every person is staring at their phone and no one notices him.

SPACE FORCE!

This punchline has been done to death.

Many years ago when I was working in the Financial Dist. in San Francisco, I observed folks walking into other people, into electrical poles, into the news/magazines boxes, into potholes in the street AND into oncoming traffic. I pulled one lady back from getting hit and she shrugged it off and never thanked me. After that, I stopped trying to save idiots from themselves.

You don’t want to come to this planet right now, UFO,

If your here to invade you’re welcome to it all.
