[dc]I[/dc] can’t believe it took me this long to make a telepathic reptoid joke. The last panel wasn’t in my original script, but I became inspired to do something different at the last minute. Besides, I don’t draw enough prehistoric telepathic lizard people.
Observant readers (but not raptors) might recognize the shirt in the first panel, it is from the Words That Sound Like Other Words comic. I originally had something else, but I changed my mind during clean up in Photoshop. I also modeled the guy in panel three after Xerxes in the Whale Fail comic. Hooray for history jokes, especially history jokes about carrier pigeons and the telegraph.
If you think I am off-base with my telepathic reptoid gag, well, guess again. This historically accurate wall decal clearly shows a reptoid using telepathy–TO CONTROL DINOSAURS.
All I’m saying is, ALIENS. Image via Amazon.
So there. Now, time to continue letting my smartphone poison my conscience like a glass and plastic Stormbringer, apparently.

[[A prehistoric reptoid man wearing a robe, standing near a volcano and a step pyramid yells]

Reptoid 1: [thought balloon] Shut up
Reptoid 2: [thought balloon] You thought it, bro.
