    I love the simultaneously sad and surprised look on the dinosaurs. They didn’t see that one coming.

  2. Rox says

    Now we will have to start an expedition to find the lost dino ark! Start making donations, people!

  3. Thebear says

    Duh! Obiously the explotion was severe enough to scatter the bones and the dino ark all over the world.

    And since it was the will of the sky doggie the bones spread to make it look like they died on the spot.

    So trying to find the dino ark is pure folly and defies the will of dog.

  4. Xenithrys says

    Hey! What are those dumb birds doing on our ark? That makes our ark polyphyletic and the other one paraphyletic!

  5. Thebear says

    Xenithrys:
    Again it’s the will of Dog:

    He needed chickenbones for the other dogs to choke on so he can be the only Dog!

    I am quite certain that doubters and scoffers will mock the heavy artillery on Noah’s ark as inconsistent with the technology of the era. They forget that Noah’s Flood is a great miracle. In the midst of such a great miracle, what is to stop God from equipping Noah with weaponry otherwise not seen before the 20th century? Nothing!

    That’s pretty rock-solid argumentation, I tell you.

    Tsk, tsk. Sauria is an outdated name for the lizards-except-snakes. That doesn’t include the dinosaurs, even though Owen seems to have thought so in 1842.

  8. Ströh says

    Wonder why there’s dynamite in the water too. In case they miss? Not to mention the piece-of-cake-with-horns under Noah’s ark.

  9. Shadow says

    Doesn’t the shot look long? With that arc, and how close the two ships appear, the shell should miss.

    Greek fire would have been a better choice.

  10. tomarctomet says

    David @#10,

    Except, of course, some authors (e.g., Gauthier) use Sauria for Archosauria + Lepidosauria, so it is still a legitimate term and would contain Dinosauria.

    Initially I was looking for the reptiles space ships and high powered energy beam weapons but realized I was thinking of the Silurians who would have taken care of that fool Yahweh and the boat.

    *Ursa remembers to bow in direction of Morris, Chants the name of PZ (mhbef)and partakes of Beer and Bacon in Remembrance of Him.

    (mhbef) = (may he be eaten first)

  12. Ian says

    @Shadow #13: The dino-ark is farther away than it looks…it’s all a trick of perspective, based on your brain assuming that the ships are about the same size, when, given the size of dinosaurs, theirs would have to be much bigger. Hence the rather flat arc.

    What are those dumb birds doing on our ark?

    Well obviously, the birds saw which way the wind was blowing, and moved. I mean, they got wings and all, and Noah doesn’t appear to have had to foresight to include anti-aircraft guns on the Ark.

  14. mothra says

    Sure blows Ken Ham’s ‘theory’ of Dinos living with man (after the flood) out of the water.

  15. DesertHedgehog says

    @14—

    Exactly! A German 88mm gun on the mammal ark? Using a Nazi gun to shoot at reptiles? Surely the political overtones are…disquieting… But then— David Irving and David Icke…all the same, right?

    Why is there a slice of blueberry pie and a stick of dynamite floating in the ocean?

    Those are Bizarro trademarks – they appear regularly, and for no apparent reason.

  17. Ströh says

    #14: Come on, you can never go wrong with an 88! How could the good ol’ nazi ever be wrong?

    But the projectiles profile looks a bit dodgy. Guess it could be a YahwehTech® CJI-5000 GENOCIDE round retrofitted to the 88’s barrel with a sabot. Yeah, I’m a sucker for divine weaponry.

    If you turn it onto Sci-Fi (I refuse to use their new name.) right now, you can watch the lizards get their revenge. V is on. I was just talking to my sister about it. We are both suppressing the memory of rampant big hair.

  19. yaussid says

    Bah! Not enough orgies on the dino-ark. I mean it should be obvious that those heathens clearly provoked Noah, nay, GOD HIMSELF.

    And lo, the howitzer of the lord shone upon them…

  20. Desert Son, OM says

    Of course, upon further reflection, it is incontrovertible fact that mammals, after all, did develop the 88.

    Maybe that’s even more reason to be concerned.

  22. Paul Burnett says

    Desert Son (#28) wrote: “…Noah…spake these words: fire for effect!”

    And we also know that at least one of the dinosaurs must have been named “Will”…because Noah also spake “Fire at Will!”

    @ #14 Desert Son, OM,

    Low bid always wins the contract. Even back then.

    Athena,

    Hmmm…Wonder if there are any special verses engraved on the barrel of that gun?

    Nice. No doubt present day Arktillerists think the words engraved would have been in English, too.

    plumberbob,

    Good point.

    #11/#22 – notice the “4” above “Dan”, the cartoonists name. He put four easter eggs in this comic. Sometimes they are a bit more hidden. Slice of pie, K2 (K squared – his children), Dynamite (first appeared after 9-11-01) and the fish tail.

    Other notable eggs: Rabbit, upside down bird, eyeball, alien, shoe, arrow.

    Wikipedia article on it explains a bit more and has a great 7 symbol comic.

    If this is truly “mammals vs. saurians,” the presence of birds on the mammals’ ark suggests complexities not yet explored.
