I don't know why I think this is super funny.

Can someone explain why this is funny. Am I missing something? Maybe I missed the lame sci-fi film it's emulating?

Yeah. I'm lost.

Me three. This is both pointless and creepy without a cultural reference.

So, what movie/show/book is this from?

This is probably the literal reference being made here, but it's also funny just as the antithesis of the typical Family Circus style of comic cheese. They always seemed like an alien cult to me anyway.

It also reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where Lisa eats the extra spicy food and exclaims "I can see thru time!"

So this post is all about nerd references.

And here I thought it was a reference to FSMism (flying spaghette monster)

I have no idea which is scarier, this post, or the actual Family Circus cartoon before the editing.

There's a story in the Stephen King book "Night Shift" that has a librarian who performs a maneuver similar to this one on her unsuspecting victims. Or at least that's immediately what this picture reminded me of, making it completely disturbing and scary instead of funny. (P.S. I read this story, like, a year ago and I still get the creeps when I walk by the library.)
