Alice, 11/3/25

Today's Alice will I think be particularly inscrutable to non-Alice regulars, but in my late blog era I have myself become an Alice regular and am here to read Alice so you don't have to! [scans through comic again] OK, fine, actually, this one is inscrutable to me too. I guess the little scene in the inset panel is supposed to be taking place simultaneous to the main action, but it's not clear to me why it looks like a painting or maybe a window in the room where Alice and her boyfriend are sitting, why the alien guy is being debriefed by a human, or whether it's supposed to be ironic somehow that the alien says humans are "too emotional" when Alice and her boyfriend are just staring off blankly into the middle distance together. At least one thing's settled, though: Spock was a fictional half human/half Vulcan character from the Star Trek series in the 1960s.
