Fans of humorous and satirical comics will find a delightful gem in Wedeking's "We're Out of Cornflakes," a three-panel comic strip that has recently garnered attention on social media platforms like Reddit. This comic strip cleverly highlights the often unexpected outcomes of cross-cultural encounters, even when those cultures are from different planets.

In the first panel, the scene is set with a group of aliens, distinguishable by their purple skin, large heads, and big eyes. They stand up***ht on two legs, each with long arms ending in three fingers. A human, depicted as a man wearing a tie, extends a warm greeting to the extraterrestrial visitors, saying, "Welcome to Earth. We're grateful to have you here!" The flying saucer, partially visible on the right, adds to the classic alien encounter aesthetic.

The second panel takes a surprising turn. The perspective zooms in on the aliens, and suddenly, a burst of yellow and red flames erupts with a dramatic "SWOOSH" sound effect. The flames engulf the humans, who are shown only in silhouette, indicating the fiery chaos that ensues. Behind the blazing silhouettes, the aliens and their flying saucer are visible, their astonishment palpable.

In the third and final panel, the scene shifts to the interior of the spaceship. An alien, seated at a control console, looks perplexedly at a screen displaying the fiery incident from an external viewpoint. With arms raised in confusion, the alien laments, "Well, apparently the 'Blaze of Gratitude' greeting was actually deadly to these creatures..." The label "wereoutofcornflakes.com" in the bottom-right corner provides a subtle nod to Wedeking's creative platform.

User comments on Reddit reflect a mix of humor and curiosity. One user humorously referenced a historical trope with, "So we approached them with our gun ports open, which was the style at the time." Another added levity by sharing, "The alien grabbed my wife's t**, bob." Meanwhile, a comment noting, "YouTube is lousy with stories like this. The ones featuring aliens amazed that we DRINK WATER are some of the best," highlights the broader cultural fascination with alien encounters. The comment, "More stupidity at We're Out of Cornflakes," leads curious readers to explore more of Wedeking's work. The phrase "Blaze of Gratitude" even sparked discussion, with one user asking, "Is blaze of gratitude a phrase anyone's heard before?"

Wedeking's "We're Out of Cornflakes" is a brilliant example of how humor can be used to explore complex themes of miscommunication and cultural differences. The comic strip's unexpected twist and clever commentary ensure it remains a memorable piece for readers and a testament to the creative potential of comic art.
