The news from Daryl Cagle's toon round-up is mostly gloomy, I'm afraid, although there's good news on the evolutionary front: Dinosaurs are disappearing and humans have rediscovered science.
p3 Picks of the Week: Daryl Cagle, Mike Keefe, Jeff Parker, Monty Wolverton, Jimmy Margulies, Dana Summers and Michael Ramirez.
p3 Observance of the End of the Dark Ages as depicted by Pat Bagley and Bob Englehart.

Part 2:
(Some of you may remember the 1977 animated feature "Allegro non Troppo," directed by Bruno Bozzetto, a parody of--some say answer to--"Fantasia" which featured a somewhat different account of the procession of life on the planet, set to Ravel's "Bolero.")
p3 Bonus Toon: And turning to the "too big to fail" meme one last time for the week, Jesse Springer's latest toon is a good reminder that the dinosaurs might have eventually lost the evolutionary race because they got out-adapted (click to enlarge).
