Panel 1:
First person (one of two figures walking in a barren landscape): We need to identify this area as a toxic waste dump in a way that people who encounter it 10,000 years from now can understand.
Second person: Impossible.
Panel 2:
A person wearing a wide-brimmed hat (an archaeologist): I speak as an archaeologist: No matter what you do, when we find something weird in ancient history, we will decide it must've been part of a fertility rite.
Panel 3:
A bearded man (one of the original two figures): Oh yeah? Well after we cover the place in sculptures of crying skulls, we're gonna write "THIS WAS NOT A FERTILITY SHRINE!" in every language!
Panel 4:
Caption: IN THE DISTANT FUTURE...
Narration: They appear to have had an erotic ceremony having to do with skulls and dying.
(Several robed figures stand around scattered skulls.)
Votey:
A round-headed figure, sweating, speaks: SO. HOT.

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: Two figures walk across a barren landscape. One says they need to mark this area as a toxic waste dump in a way that people 10,000 years from now can understand; the other replies, "Impossible." Panel 2: A person in a wide-brimmed hat says, "I speak as an archaeologist: No matter what you do, when we find something weird in ancient history, we will decide it must've been part of a fertility rite." Panel 3: A bearded man retorts that after covering the place in sculptures of crying skulls, they're going to write "THIS WAS NOT A FERTILITY SHRINE!" in every language. Panel 4, captioned "IN THE DISTANT FUTURE...": robed figures stand among scattered skulls while narration reads, "They appear to have had an erotic ceremony having to do with skulls and dying." Votey: a sweating round-headed figure says, "SO. HOT."
