About This Book

A comic set of fictional advice-column exchanges purporting to be from a future Galactic newspaper, featuring responses to readers' concerns about interplanetary etiquette, alien guests and relationships, time-travel mishaps producing duplicate selves, and other absurd domestic dilemmas. The columnist offers deadpan, practical-sounding solutions—such as contacting wildlife authorities, adjusting seating for tentacled visitors, buying maternity wear, or reintegration after transporter accidents—while riffing on biological differences, cultural customs, and futuristic everyday inconveniences. The piece satirizes contemporary social anxieties by displacing them into imaginative alien scenarios and uses short question-and-answer vignettes for humor.
