Aliens Are Our Brothers declared the Pope

Back in the spring of this year, the Pope, through the Vatican's chief astronomer, announced that aliens would be considered our brothers. "Alien life does not contradict a faith in God," Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes said in an interview. The incident, which made headlines in May, reminded me of the speech given by the character, George, played by Jack Nicholson, in Easy Rider. The speech, about the Venusians, was memorized by my friend Rob Matson(1). He would recite it anytime someone asked him to. The combination of these events inspired me to think of creating a postcard with the sentiment of, "Aliens Are Our Brothers." Instead, I created the graphic titled "Aliens Are Our Brothers" and had it printed on a t-shirt. See it with this link.
