Main comic: A single panel showing a scientist in a white lab coat, with brown hair and glasses, standing with arms spread wide, their back to the viewer. They stand in a green tundra landscape pocked with small blue pools of meltwater. A large speech bubble reads: "Ah, dammit! This took decades of science and engineering and now the tundra is melting! Sorry, guys." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Moments after woolly mammoths are reintroduced." The joke: efforts to bring back mammoths are undone immediately by climate change melting their habitat.

Votey: A loose black-and-white sketch of a woolly mammoth with a small speech bubble saying, "Must. Kill. Humans." The revived mammoth's first thought is vengeance against the humans who melted its world.
