1 Ishmael: How embarrassing.
2 Ishmael: I've been trying to ask her out for months. You guys come along and within five minutes she's sharing a table with your leader!
3 Ishmael: A human girl finds a Martian more attractive than me! What could be more humiliating?!
4 Man in Black: Knowing that there's no such thing as Martians.

Keen-eyed readers may have spotted the Man in Black lurking in the background of the bar in the last three strips.

Sometimes it really pays to pay attention to the little details in these comics. :-)
