   1. Thanks, I’ve never seen that Larson cartoon. It’s great, right up there with the real reason the dinosaurs went extinct (with apologies, no link).

   2. If you had known about it you could have used the tinyurl link that Peter N. posted five days ago.

      1. Or more directly – just use the short flickr link embedded in it ” https://www.flickr.com/photos/8270919@N05/2785169040/ ” rather than a link to a google search result

         1. I will keep it in mind for the next time 😉

   3. The baseball must have been made of seahorsehide.

3. From Larry Gonick’s Cartoon History of the Universe:

   1. Excellent!

   2. First they came for the plants, and I did not speak out because I was not a plant.

      Then they came for the bugs …

      (With apologies to Pastor Niemöller)

   3. Yes plants first, then arthropods.

4. There must be hundreds of them by now …

   And yet some still claim there are no fossilized forms of transitional humor …

   1. +1

   2. We also call it ‘primitive humor’.

5. There’s that beautiful Zen poem by Basho, isn’t there–
   Ancient pond
   Fish walks out
   Splosh splosh splosh…

6. The one on the beach is most definitely my “inner fish.” It’s a rare treat to see a cartoon with such solid science behind it.

7. Well, there is this and there is this.

   1. those are both excellent.

8. Of course, there’s this one by Wiley:

   Actually it’s not the one I was looking for at first – can anyone find the middle east themed one? (“I don’t care who started it!”)

9. There’s also a large set of cartoons on the problems with free will, at least 3 in the strip “Dilbert”.

   Set your Google search to “images” and then type in “free will” and you will find a bunch.

10. This one is my all time favorite Larson.

11. My first real LOL of the day.

    I wonder how many millions of years of they put up with before that adaptation occurred…

    Probably not as long as it seemed 😉

12. Here in SW Florida, we have walking catfish. Maybe they want Darwin Fish decals.

    1. Walking catfish instead of the fish with legs and feet that isn’t real, never was. Lobe finned fish. We have lung fish too and mud puppies still around.

13. This is my all time favorite.

    I wanted to paste the image but couldn’t. I hope this works.

    1. Love that one.
