A single-panel SMBC comic. In a grassy landscape, a worried man in a brown coat protests to a hunter wearing a pith helmet who is aiming a shotgun: "NO, DON'T! THAT'S POACHING!" and "BUT-". The hunter replies "NOPE. I CHECKED. IT'S NOT ENDANGERED." as the gun fires with a yellow "BANG!" A caption underneath reads: "Specifically, Dodo Birds are extinct." The joke: the animal isn't endangered because it's already entirely extinct, so the hunter has gone back in time. In the black-and-white votey aftercomic, the man asks the now-seated, eating hunter "ENJOYING YOUR DODO?!" and the hunter sighs, "I MISS THE DINOSAUR MEAT OF MY BOYHOOD...", implying he's a time traveler old enough to remember dinosaurs.
