On working days, the General helps an alien organization plan the conquest of Earth. On his days off, he has much more important business: visiting pandas, finding good food and enjoying a little peace. Even a feared villain needs a break, though the heroes he fights do not always stay out of his way. Earth becomes harder to reduce to a target when it contains so many small pleasures. The comedy follows the gap between the General's fearsome professional role and his surprisingly careful leisure habits, finding warmth in routines usually left outside an action story.

A cat loves a mouse, the mouse throws a brick, and the cat reads the brick as a token of love. Thirty years of the same joke, told in a shifting desert landscape that changes between panels. The misunderstanding survives every apparent correction, allowing language, landscape and timing to become part of the joke. Affection follows its own impossible logic in a world whose scenery is as changeable as its characters' interpretations.
