#3265 - Asteroid Threat

A black-and-white comic shows two globes. A small globe in the upper left shows the Americas, Europe, and Africa, with a dashed line passing behind it. A much larger globe below shows Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Indian Ocean, with a target mark in the ocean roughly opposite Central America. Caption: "Dire news: An asteroid is on course to hit the Earth exactly opposite the Yucatán Peninsula, bringing back the dinosaurs." Hidden text: "Paleontologists have long worried that the dinosaurs blasted into space 66 million years ago will one day complete their orbits and fall back down."
