A perfectly absurd send-up of sci-fi tropes and individual rebellion. As aliens prepare for another invasion, one refuses on purely stylistic grounds—delivering a joke that’s equal parts cosmic and petty. Clean, clever, and visually striking, this cartoon is ideal for sci-fi fans and anyone who’s ever pushed back against enforced conformity.
Original cartoon art by Tom Toro, published in the New Yorker magazine on April 4, 2016. Archival ink pen and ink wash, with some white-out, on 11" x 14" Bristol vellum paper. Very good condition, slight creasing on side that doesn't affect artwork.
