“Almost Human” Sci-Fi Cartoon by Chris Madden #1770813 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white cartoon by Chris Madden features two characters: a contemporary man and a figure in Elizabethan attire, both standing under the ironic caption, “There are planets where the inhabitants are almost human.” The visual juxtaposition highlights the absurdity of assuming alien life would resemble humans-or even historical humans-despite vast cosmic diversity. The piece blends science fiction tropes with satirical commentary on anthropocentrism.

Used in blogs, forums, or educational content about exobiology, sci-fi tropes, or cognitive bias; appeals to readers seeking humorous takes on speculative science and philosophy of alien life.
