Putin exercises more than Trump, giving Trump a rather more shmoo-like outline.

John Larkin - like most Americans - has gotten used to looking at big-butted Americans and doesn't register "fat" as strongly as the rest of the world does.

Dunno, I've had my share of "Trouble with Tribbles".  I've also had
some ETs disappear tools from my bench.

Well, iirc Cthulhu is supposedly one of the "Old Gods" rather than an alien.

And Alan Dean Foster wrote some fun juvenile SF about the "humanx
commonwealth", where humans and a race of bugs (the Thranx) were the
greatest of friends and allies.

Lewis's Space Trilogy was the first iirc to break out of the "humans
good, aliens bad" paradigm.  In his solar system, the Fall had occurred
only on Earth--the aliens were unfallen, and so still in their paradisal
state.

Still ugly. And probably smelly.
