A four-panel SMBC comic about dinosaurs. Panel 1: a dinosaur wearing a name badge rushes in shouting that an asteroid they were inspecting accidentally got deflected toward Earth, while other dinosaurs, including a horned triceratops-like one, look on. Panel 2: a long-necked dinosaur exclaims that all other life forms are going to be pissed. Panel 3: a dinosaur yells "Quick everyone! Evolve into birds!" and another adds "Nobody suspects birds!" Panel 4: in the present day, a woman sits on the edge of a bed and says to a red-haired person lying down, "So you're saying birds whistle because they're trying to look non-chalant"; a small corner cat-tag is labeled "Bat individual." The joke: birds are guilty dinosaurs trying to act casual after dooming everyone. Votey: an extreme close-up of a bird's face with a wide, panicked eye, with the sound "mwack."
