This is insane. I was just now looking up horseshoe crabs for totally unrelated reasons after not seeing them for years, and then I scroll on and see this comic. What. Are. The. Odds.

Sometimes I think that I’m a horseshoe crab.

They’re being harvested into (potential) nonexistence because their blood is useful for vaccine development.

So this might be the last edition of that shirt.

and he goes to Horsh U!

You can technically wear that shirt too, if you want. Or any currently living being. So called “living fossils” are just critters that look arbitrarily close enough to some of their ancient ancestors to us.

They’re just as “evolved” as any other living thing today. Their look has just been a lot more stable through the ages than what ended up as Homo sapiens.
