A comic captioned "30 million years from now:" with a narration box reading "Scientists now believe the humans were not in fact covered with feathers." On the left, a naked, featherless human woman stands facing three brightly colored bird-like descendant creatures (blue, pink, and orange-yellow) perched on a wooden floor. The blue bird says "Ewwwwwww" and the orange-yellow bird says "They look so stupid!" The joke flips paleontology's feathered-dinosaur revelations onto humans, with future birds disgusted at the idea of featherless ancestors. Votey: a single black-and-white panel showing one of the bird creatures with a wing raised, mockingly imitating a human by saying "Blah blah blah. I'm a human. Blah blah blah blah blah!"
