There's culture shock galore in this page of the comic. Martians don't understand outsiders, and outsiders find Martians strange. I'll bet there's some kind of a lesson to be learned here, but I'm not the one to determine it.
I'm sure that my wife (who has a degree in English) would have some highfalutin' term for Benjamin's display of intolerance towards Mars.
I call it "being a bit of a jerk."

Well, you have to admit it is a little weird. Personally, I thought today's lesson was about gravity. Even on the Moon you can't just casually use your otherworldly powers to fling a fifteen-ton tanker truck full of burning oxygen into the air and then not worry about where it's going to come down.
I think there's a lesson here for all of us.
