I don't know where this would be posted. But I am rather wondering what's with the little green man on top of Wrong Planet. Is this a trademark like Coca-Cola?

It represents an alien, which then represents how we feel day-to-day on Earth, hence the name Wrong Planet.

A common turn of phrase for Asperger Syndrome as a child is "feeling like an alien in the playground". Which is where I imagine the name of this forum comes from.

If we added glasses to the alien's picture, would that fit in very well?

But then he'd look like somebody completely different!

Haven't you learned anything from Superman?

I always thought the name Wrong Planet came from the Gena P. Barnhill book:

As for the little green man, I wonder if he walks on his heels like I do.

Yeah the "alien in the playground" thing influenced the book.
