T-rex: "SAVE YOURSELF MAMMAL! WE WILL FEND OFF THE ASTEROIDS!"
Caption (below panel):
Paleontology texts have changed a lot since dinosaurs took over the school board.

Main comic: A single colored panel. A green Tyrannosaurus rex stands in an orange room as two flaming gray asteroids plunge from the upper left. The T-rex roars heroically, declaring "Save yourself mammal! We will fend off the asteroids!" while a small brown dog-like mammal scampers away across the ground. The caption beneath reads: "Paleontology texts have changed a lot since dinosaurs took over the school board." Votey: A black-and-white panel showing a grinning, big-toothed T-rex looming over a small nervous-looking man at a school board meeting, one arm raised as it asks, "Anyone else voting 'nay'?" — implying it intimidated the board into rewriting history so dinosaurs are remembered as heroes who fought off the asteroids.
