For the past 60 years, a space-traveling smart-ass named Paul has been locked up in a top-secret military base, advising world leaders about his kind. But when he worries he’s outlived his usefulness and the dissection table is drawing uncomfortably close, Paul escapes on the first RV that passes by his compound in Area 51. Fortunately, it contains the two earthlings who are most likely to rescue and harbor an alien on the run.

    They should work on their search. I was trying to find the movie "Paul" and typing "Paul" in the search had the exact match as the fourth or fifth result in the upper right corner of the screen. It took me a while to find it.

    Fellow Clowes afficionado here. That's exactly what I thought too when I looked at the art!

    Just a couple of days ago, I discovered Clowes work in the movie 'Paul'. I thought the art work looked very much like that of Clowes' and paused the screen to observe it closely and noticed that it was signed 'Pussey'(after Dan Pussey, the timid cartoonist character in Clowes' universe), which confirmed it for me :) https://imgur.com/a/HbCLB5c

    Clowes also drew one of Silicon Valley's promos https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C9V2XMLUIAA8oaC.jpg

    They featured the work of Clowes and Burns! Very cool.

    There's plenty of new stuff being produced.

    Here's a movie about a lovable alien visitor:
