RIP MICHAEL CRICHTON.

He dedicated the end of his life to preventing meaningful action on climate change, and in doing so is partially responsible for many, many future deaths.
I'll save my concern for those who truly deserve it.

Don't worry, he's going to be cloned in a theme park on an island off the coast of Costa Rica.

Amazing that you got to pull this comic out again. Will you wear your "No Velociraptor" t-shirt today in remembrance?
