Oh God, Tuesday!
Tuesday is even more deadly than Monday. And it's raining, and I need something to lift my spirits. Thank You Hal Jordan!
Now this particular scan, takes place right after Arisia has joined the Corps, and quite frankly, it freaks me out just a bit. There are ways of welcoming new members, and this ain't it. Would Hal go up to a MALE Alien and grab him in a bear hug? Call him "Little Brother"?
Probably...not.
It gets even skeevier when you remember what happens after all of this greeting stuff. Arisia develops a severe crush on Hal, who eventually notices her after she uses he powers to artificially age herself, and gets a lot hotter. Oh...Hal.
Now of course, it has been retconned that she was ALWAYS older, and that her planet revolves differently from Earth, so she is actually 200 years old or some such twaddle. Moosepoop. She's still young according to her species. Fortunately she IS grown up now, but has apparently gotten over her crush. Good thing!

Thing is, that panel when it appeared, in context, was OK, what with Arisia being such a fangirl.
You're right though, Sally, I can't see Hal welcoming Savaak like that. Or Kilowog.
Or Mogo.
Ch'p maybem he was a cutie.
Ch'p's little bowtie WAS quite dashing. But yes, if Hal tried this with anybody else, he'd have gotten a glowing green enema.
