Alien Salesmen is a Comedy and Sci-fi Canvas Webtoon created by It's Possibly Finn. Two full seasons were released starting from August 14th, 2019. Its third and final season was left unfinished, with the last episode releasing on December 24th, 2021. The series is known for its simplistic black and white art style, along with its frequent pop-culture references and film parodies. It is unknown why the series was left unfinished.

Synopsis[]

Follows an alien leader, his assistant, and their two salesmen, as they do anything as long as it doesn't involve selling things, while frequently getting themselves into misunderstandings often times relating to the investigation of Earth.

Development[]

The series began as a short comic strip, before later turning into a serialized narrative beginning with its seventh episode. The initial premise of the series was completely ditched by the start of the second season. The third season episodes were much longer and would be scripted before the artwork was done, creating a much more difficult and time consuming process.

Episodes[]

Season One[]

The first season began on August 14th, 2019 and concluded on December 20th, 2020, the longest amount of time spent on any season. Most of the episodes are focused on the aliens actually selling things, a premise that was eventually ditched by the beginning of next season. Mr. Leader, one of the series' main characters, was not introduced until the third episode, with his assistant Mark only making an appearance in the seventh episode before his eventual introduction in season two. It's renowned for being the only season of a Webtoon series to feature not one, but three Christmas episodes in the span of one season.
