Comic about a sasquatch and an alien. The sasquatch is showing the alien a youtube video on his laptop. The alien takes his laptop and attempts to look up a different video, only to be distracted by how his recommended tab is full of something called "Functioning teen compilations". The sasquatch explains that these are compilations of teenagers being happy and socially normal, which he watches in order to intentionally make himself sick with jealousy. He describes this practice as "ASMR, except instead of making you feel tingly it makes you feel like there's a ball of black ice in your diaphragm". The last panel is a screenshot of a functioning teen video's comment section, which includes 1. A guy asking "who else is clenching their jaw really hard to this?" 2. A guy requesting the uploader put more videos of emotionally healthy mother/son relationships on his Patreon, 3. somebody named THE_BETRAYED ranting in all caps about how he's always being betrayed, and 4. somebody who says they took their own functioning teen videos "at the high school by their dad's house".
2 issues of Alan Moore’s 1963
An alien is lounging on the couch when she hears someone yelling "YES SIR, THANK YOU SIR" from far away. In the next panel, a smiling sasquatch enters carrying a cardboard box. "Check it out," he says, "My dad's moving and he dropped off a bunch of stuff from when I was a kid. Look, my old Christian alternative YA novels!". "Did your dad tell you where he was moving this time?" The alien asks. "Nope!" the sasquatch responds.
