It’s being delivered by an alien in a flying saucer rather than a kid in a van. So?

This is Lio – I think that’s all there is.
It probably helps if you take it in the way Tatulli probably hoped you would – left to right. First you see the flying saucer, then the distressed trees, then the alien. If you’ve gotten that far and *then* see it’s just a delivery, you get enough cognitive dissonance for a joke.
Makes you wonder where the restaurant is.
I’ve used grub hub a couple of times without issues but you are still putting your food into the hands of an third party unaffiliated with the restaurant. I know, sounds paranoid but I really think at minimum a tamper seal of some sort would be prudent. Has anyone heard of a third party food delivery gone wrong?
Since I’ve never heard of either of the delivery operations mentioned so far, this would have been a permanent CIDU without the explanations above. It might have helped if the package looked more like a takeout order, and less like a jersey attachment for a sprinter (that’s the only thing I could make out of it before I read the comments).
Yeah, the basis of a typical Lio strip is a mundane situation with robots/monsters/aliens.

Seems to me the issue is just whether or not you can trust the driver. I don’t see it mattering that much whether he/she/(insert alien pronoun) works for the restaurant or a delivery service. Either could have hired a disgruntled weirdo.

JK, I hadn’t, but a quick search turns up this:
