Humans Through Alien Eyes/Quotes
"Sometimes we think we want to know what our dogs think. We don't, not really. Someone who watches us with unclouded eyes and sees us for who we really are is more frightening than a man with a gun."
—The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park After the Change, Kij Johnson

After the situation surrounding Ragesh 3 was settled, to the satisfaction of all save the Narn, Mr. Garibaldi invited me to join him in doing his second favorite thing in the universe. In an effort to understand more about Earthers, I agreed. I found it quite puzzling, however. We watched something called 'Duck Dodgers in the 24-1/2 Century'--which, since by Earth reckoning it is only the 23-1/2 century, I found confusing.Apparently, this is what was called a 'cartoon show', and Mr. Garibaldi appeared to find it quite amusing. It appears to have been a source of entertainment on Earth 2 centuries ago. He also introduced me to an Earth food called 'popcorn'. Apparently, one eats popcorn while watching these sources of entertainment, although I have yet to understand the purpose of this ritual. Mr. Garibaldi attempted to explain the humor in this 'cartoon' to me, but I must admit that I fail to understand it; although Commander Sinclair has mentioned that Mr. Garibaldi's sense of humor is somewhat unusual. Hopefully, with more study, I will be able to understand this aspect of Earth culture better.
