Main comic: At the edge of a grassy peat bog, a person with flame-like reddish hair (seen from behind) asks another person who is holding a black garbage bag, 'What's in the sack?' The dark-haired, bespectacled person answers, 'A platypus skeleton, 3 wheels of cheddar, a clay tablet with Euclid's axioms on it, and precisely 53 dildos.' Caption: 'Weekend Activity #98723: Putting weird stuff in peat bogs to confuse the future.' Votey (aftercomic), drawn in black and white and titled 'THE FUTURE': a future figure standing beside a large rounded excavated lump says, 'God these people made so much plastic waste.' The joke: instead of being mystified by the bizarre artifacts, future archaeologists just see plastic garbage.
