Reconstruction (strip)

I remember a Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin was looking at a stegosaurus and wondering if it really looked like that. "What if my bones were in a museum/And aliens paid good money to see 'em?/And what if they put me together all wrong/Sticking bones onto bones where bones don't belong!/Imagine, phalanges, pelvis and spine/Welded to mandibles that once had been mine/With each mis-assemblage, the error compounded/The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded/And the museum would commission a model in plaster/Of ME, to be called 'Evolution's Disaster'!/And paleontologists there would debate/Dozens of theories to help postulate/How man survived for those thousands of years/With tooth-covered arms growing out of his ears/Oh, I hope that I'm never in such manner displayed/No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.

XD

Accurate lol. I love how you said so much while saying so little. I bet some paleontologists would get real bent out of shape about this one because they know it’s true! Lol

Hahaha! This one made me belly laugh out loud!!!

Looks exactly like me.

the human reconstruction looks like something that crawled out of my nightmares. thank you

They gave us no lips!!? Hahah

Science!

That alien arm makes me so uncomfortable 😀😅

The movies and especially the book both explained the lack of feathers, frog DNA filler and other mutations. The movie makers then later explained trying to match accurate depiction of dinosaurs even now would be a problem because scientists change their prediction of what dinosaurs look like every few years, the T Rex in particular changed many times during the 5 movies.

still can't find bigfoot.

I feel like I've seen some people that look pretty similar to that last panel...😂🤣

So many dinosaurs had feathers!

The dinosaurs 100% had feathers!!
