no crop! levels and curves. drew in an alien with oval selection tool and paintbrush tool. Hopefully someone will get the joke.
post-challenge: yes, I made up this joke. I think it depends on a certain idiomatic understanding of Engligh (maybe even just American English). For example, you have to know the connotations of "made" and "accidents" (snicker)

Totally got the joke dude! I can't remember if it's a classic Larson, but if it isn't, and it's your original idea, you've got Larson blood flowing in your veins.
To be honest, I don´t really "get" this joke, what is he supposedly ´fraid of? Would appreciate a PM after the voting is over for you to explain it if you have the time, I hate jokes I don´t get, hehe :P
Im actually not sure whether or not this is a Gary Larson cartoon. Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt (even though I love well made remakes too) and say you came up with this rather clever strip on your own. Good luck on the challenge.
