4.5X4.5 AUSTRALIAN ACANTHASTREA

An experiment! If I were to move forward with revisiting more comics, I think a simpler style would be better. I love using these colors, though. What do you think? [Comic transcript: Eight panels depict eight different epochs in natural history: Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Pleistocene, Anthropocene. Through each panel, a horseshoe crab gets closer and closer to the viewer while all sorts of prehistoric creatures come and go through the ages. In the final panel, the horseshoe crab says ‘keep on truckin lol’ [sic] and the millions of years it took for this crab to get here and say this only add to the gravitas of the situation. End transcript.]
