itt: pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving meteor

"Changing Nature" Tom Trbovich Kirk Thatcher July 20, 1994 D365
The family prepares to celebrate the return of the Bunch Beetles, who arrive back on Pangaea every May 14th to eat the rapidly growing Cider Poppies. This year, however, they fail to arrive and it soon emerges that WESAYSO built a wax fruit factory on top of their mating ground and killed the species. Without the Bunch Beetles to eat them, the Cider Poppies quickly begin to overrun the continent. More concerned with bad publicity than any threat to the ecosystem, B.P. Richfield chooses Earl to take care of the problem. Earl, eager to quickly get rid of the poppies instead of looking for a long-term solution, chooses to spray everywhere with defoliant. Although this succeeds in getting rid of the Cider Poppies, it also manages to destroy all plant life on the entire planet. Deciding that rain is needed to bring back the plants, Richfield decides to drop bombs in every volcano, reasoning that the clouds they produce will bring the rain. Instead the volcanoes produce thick black clouds, blocking out the sun and plunging the planet into an ice age. Earl finally realizes what a mistake he made by tampering with nature and taking it for granted, however it is too late. He apologizes to his family for ending the world, but promises that dinosaurs won't just disappear. The Sinclairs agree that they'll remain a family no matter what happens, as the house begins to be buried by snow.

i like that last one because imagine getting murdered, and then just by chance it happens to be the real End of the World at the same moment

― Karl Malone, Sunday, 18 November 2018 21:49 (six months ago) Permalink

or imagine being murderer (aka predator animal trying to survive) and it's the end of the world right after you kill the other dino friend. you'd be like "is god punishing the world for what i did? how important am i?"

I like the asshole mammals in the first one. Also I regret not arranging them in story order - brontos, then "millin", then death eternal.

That's pretty fucking insensitive IMO. Tone-deaf at best.

Imagine "This Painting of John Wilkes Booth is the perfect gift for Abraham Lincoln fans."

"Japanophiles adore our Mushroom Cloud Lithographs."

"Baby seal lovers are raving about our Bloody Club Replicas."
