Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for January 18, 2020

Well, the constellations were different. Probably none of the ones we see would have existed.

Pterodactyls the dyspeptic pigeons of the Pliocene.

The stars have moved. Some have been born, some have died. The moon is farther away. The big rock that destroyed your version of the world is no longer in the sky..

Well George now you no longer have that problem !

all together now, on 3 1…2…3…. EWWWWWWWWWWW GROSS

That was about half way around the galaxy orbit, so the stars would have been very different.

Good thing they didn’t have windshields back then…pterodactyls would have wreaked havoc on them!

I remember at summer camp. I could always see a starry night.

So, they were like passenger pigeons, then?

More than 71 million years between the two species.

Pterasaurs and birds existed together with dinosaurs. But only the birds continued after the Chicxulub meteorite struck. Between the strike, shock wave, release of a huge amount of methane gas from the opposite side of the planet and massive climate changes.

Except the pterodactyls. They’d need sunscreen.

Judging from the strip, there is a hint of starling murmuration. Is George thinking of a pterodactyl murmuration?
