A caveman with a gray beard and a missing eye holds a small gray rock, facing a woman with long brown hair. He says, "This is rock. Is called 'rock' because last week, Pag called it 'rock.'" She replies, "Is SO interesting!" Caption below: "In the early days, etymology was much easier." Votey (rough sketch aftercomic): one caveman asks "Why called rock?" and another, holding a rock, answers "Look like rock." The joke: word origins in prehistoric times were arbitrary and circular.
