Walcott’s Quarry #120: The Roll-out

Filed Under Walcott's Quarry

So, again I’m sorry for the long lack of comics. I haven’t forgotten about it, and I’m not abandoning it, I just haven’t had much time to make comics. On the plus side, the result of my hard work is that je peux parler un petit peu de français quelquefois, si j’en ai besoin.

Anyway, I think that this is actually one of my best comics. We’ve all seen flashy unveilings of new “game-changing” fossil discoveries. They’re usually pretty heavy on media coverage, and pretty light on science.

    Great parody! Essentially what happened with Darwinius, I’ll say.

    Darwinius was definitely the main one I had in mind. There was also an interesting Hadrosaur specimen a while back, where I seem to remember a similar thing happening.
