Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some consistency in language?
Think about it. We call ourselves Earthlings, and we call living creatures on Mars Martians.
Shouldn’t we call the Martians Marslings? Or call ourselves Earthians? Or Eartians?
I guess Saturings would be logical, since there are all those rings around Saturn. But Saturlings? Maybe too tricky.
Whatever you would choose to use, may it be consistent, Angloid.
This Earthlings or Marslings cartoon was illustrated by Laughzilla for The Daily Dose web comic.
Once you’ve gotten your kicks here on the site, be sure to visit Laughzilla’s shop where you can find more merchandise and propaganda parodies to purchase. Enjoy!
I have an astronomy humor website and would love to put this on it.
May I have permission? In return, all I can offer is a free copy of my e-book ‘Your Galaxy Needs You – Astronomy, Astronaut and Alien humor e-book. It is in kindle format and a free sample is available from amazon.com.

Hi Cristina,
Thanks for asking. Yes, you can definitely use the cartoon on your site, as long as you link back from where you post it, to the page on our site, and we would love a copy of your ebook. Thanks!
Cheers!
