Here's strip 78 of Dude in Distress, and it seems Femme's recollections are taking a turn to the more personal. From the discussion on this page, it seems Drake's Equation likely vastly underestimates the number of intelligent civilizations in the galaxy. However, I suspect that many of these systems are inhabited by the same species that have gone interplanetary.
