Panel 1: A spacecraft tows a large asteroid in space.
Voice (from spacecraft): Okay, we've brought a ten kilometer wide asteroid into lunar orbit.
Panel 2: The asteroid floats near the spacecraft.
Voice (from spacecraft): Now to nudge a little piece toward a soft landing on Earth.
Panel 3: A small chunk of the asteroid breaks off and drifts away.
Voice (from spacecraft): Aw dammit! Dammit! Stupid piece of cma stuck under the stupid gas pedal!
Panel 4: The Earth (a small blue dot) and the asteroid piece seen against the blackness of space.
Voice (from spacecraft): Oh boy.
Panel 5: A green dinosaur-like creature stands inside, looking out a window.
Caption: I hope it goes okay.
Votey: A close-up of the green dinosaur-like creature's head with a worried expression.
Dinosaur (thought bubble): It didn't go okay.

A five-panel comic. In space, a spacecraft has towed a giant ten-kilometer-wide asteroid into lunar orbit. The pilot says they'll now nudge a little piece toward a soft landing on Earth. A chunk breaks off and drifts away as the pilot curses that a stupid piece is stuck under the gas pedal. We see Earth as a tiny blue dot with the asteroid fragment heading toward it; the pilot says 'Oh boy.' A green dinosaur stands looking out a window thinking 'I hope it goes okay.' Votey: a close-up of the worried green dinosaur's head, thought bubble reading 'It didn't go okay,' implying the asteroid impact is what wiped out the dinosaurs.
