"Won’t it be sad to have an Internet connection to Mars if there are no Martians to write to or e-mail us?" President Bill Clinton.

After discovery of a Martian meteorite, Allan Hills 84001 (ALH84001), in August 1996 Clinton helped announce to the world that the meteor showed signs of life. Cartoonist David Reddick, at the Herald Bulletin, was inspired to draw a cartoon thinking about what that life might look like.
