Explain this, humankind

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now accepting public comments on designating the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Please support this important step by leaving a comment at regulations.gov/commenton/FWS-. The industrial agriculture and argichemical lobbies will be fighting against this tooth and nail. Please boost!

@tessa_murray at first I thought they had run into each other which, while hilarious, is less impressive than the truth!
