In the last panel it looks like the testy alien has a smile on the one ball and that makes me happy :)

We have much to learn about their species, it seems.

We should grab hold of them and have them cough.

I don't get the joke...

Is there a second part with the punch line?

I think it's a funny take on the whole "first alien encounter" trope

What happens if everything is great, but the aliens look... Peculiar

What happens if they're also self conscious about their looks

I think it might be a take, but the "funny" part is debatable.

Your standards are too high. I think this is a nice vehicle for a “heh… balls” chuckle

"funny" doesn't always mean humorous

I suppose it could mean that it stinks.
