When Doctor Haas realized Martians can travel faster than light he immediately started laughing madly, as is his wont.
By referring to Caprice as "Prester's Martian," Haas is depersonalizing her. This is a typical villainous turn of phrase. It also implies that Haas considers Prester to be his true adversary, and he thinks of Caprice as a secondary threat. c.f. hubris. |

Okay, so contest results. Although there were several entries, no one had the correct response. This is largely my fault, though, because I vaguely referred to the comic's "tagline" and didn't actually say which line it was. So clearly the only fair way to resolve this situation is that everybody wins! I'll quote everyone who sent in links they wanted to plug:
