A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: two dinosaurs against a dark sky. One says "The asteroids are near." The other replies "We'd better evolve into birds." Panel 2: the two dinosaurs glow green and strain, shouting "Evolve-volve-volve!" Panel 3: they are now two pigeons. One says "Thus we shall remain until it is safe once more." The other cackles "And one will inspect the birds! Hahahaha!" Panel 4, captioned "66 million years later": a man waving papers tells a woman "You won't believe it! We just got major funding for an anti-asteroid defense system!" She replies "Yes! Let's go to the park to celebrate!" Panel 5: at the park, a grinning dinosaur lurks disguised among pigeons in the bushes, having infiltrated humanity to watch. Votey panel: a deadpan woman says "That's not how evolution works," and a bearded man retorts "You weren't there!"
