View Original Comic

Description

Here is the transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1:
"I'm sick of hunting and gathering."

Panel 2:
"What if instead we found a single high-protein grain, then planted it over and over on a large piece of land that we'd have to defend with violence?"

Panel 3:
"We'd spend most of the year taking care of the crop and fighting off vermin!"

Panel 4:
"Then, after a 'harvest,' we could live mostly on grain-based foods that are designed to be robust to weather and climate conditions."

Panel 5:
"DO YOU REALLY THINK WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM, THOUGH?"

Panel 6:
"Imagine a world with people like him in charge?"
