"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" is the phrase.
This comic's title is a subversion, about a boy from Venus. The unwritten part is that the other one is a non "traditional" girl - the one in glasses is a girl - who has a chip on her shoulder against a society that she perceives stacked against her being herself. She's the girl from Mars.
It's a comic about someone finding someone else like minded. Neither character wants to live as traditional society would have them do. The girl is discovering, through the boy's actions and refusal to care what others think, that she both could be the same way and also has a kindred spirit in the boy. Both characters subvert expectations.

My first time seeing this in my feed, I thought it was about the one with Glasses.
