Holy paleontologists, Batman!!  I was digging in my backyard the other day, trying to unearth the corrugated roofing that Farmer Fred buried eons ago, when I found a prehistoric bone (see above).  It was about three layers down, and if I recall my high school biology correctly, that’s somewhere between the monkey layer and the lizard layer.

So anyway, I showed it to my friends Tim and Mick when we went mountain biking last weekend, and together we decided to recreate the creature like they do in museums.  Mick watches Discovery all the time and Tim is totally good at building stuff (he made these adjustable sun blocks for his deck), so we figured we had it pretty well covered.  But just to be sure, I went and got Lawrence from across the street who is the maintenance foreman at his factory and was in Nam.

It took several hours of painstaking work, but we were finally able to give life to this species which hasn’t seen the light of day in 400 billion years.  The other guys are working on a life-size replica, which is about 400 feet tall and constantly aflame with liquid gold pouring from it’s grotesque maw, but I decided I’d do a sketch while we wait for the final product, and here it is.
