"Strange Planet" is a webcomic series by cartoonist Nathan W. Pyle that features aliens hilariously and adorably describing everyday experiences in technical terms. The series has also been turned into a show on Apple TV+, as shown in the video above.
I stumbled upon Pyle's work randomly from others on social media sharing his content and found that several of my friends were already following him as well. And I haven't been disappointed since.
Below is a fun example of the comic series featuring a parent describing how the tooth fairy works to their child.
"You'll get what the market demands" in particular made me chuckle.
The "amusing alien outsider" aspect of the series has been compared to "3rd Rock from the Sun" and "Coneheads," and I as someone who's watched both, I agree that it fits in that same genre of comedy.
But beyond the comedy, the series can also be highly relatable. Take for example the below entry to the comic series that features aliens talking about being angry at fictional characters.
Pyle's "Strange Planet" comic series is always a delight to see, and I have no doubt that the TV series is a good time as well, though I unfortunately wouldn't know since Apple TV+ isn't in my roster of streaming services at the moment.
Regardless, I highly recommend giving both the comic and the show a try if you have the time and the means.
