Hey, Moondog, did you ever hear the story about how some fishermen caught a coelacanath? Coelacanath? Yeah. A coelacanath. Scientists once thought it was an extinct prehistoric fish. Then one day, back in 1938, some regular fishermen caught one off the coast of Africa! Whoa. Can you imagine that? How'd you like to catch a prehistoric fish? That would be awesome! You'd probably become a YouTube sensation! No doubt. You might become famous! You might get on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! Maybe. Hey! I gotta bite! A flounder. Not exactly a missing link, but it does kind of look prehistoric with both those freaky eyes on the same side of its head.

They have a coelacanth diorama at Chicago’s Field Museum. They’re enormous — about five feet long. They also have very small brains. I became somewhat of an expert on them as a child.

There’s a couple missing links in this strip, I think.
