Summary

Abe and Cristian attempt to save all science fiction and the sanity of costume designers everywhere with an argument for why aliens may, in fact, be roughly human-shaped. Find out why that's even not the weird part; the weird part is how WE'RE shaped. We're freaky! Boobs shouldn't exist! Hate your body for whole new reasons along with us. Art by Michael Vincent Bramley. Music by Abe Epperson.
