Toby’s right. Grasping that a planet is effectively under the control of a single species, that that planet is ours and we are that species, then lining that up against how poorly the planet is being run, is a startling revelation.
Today’s cartoon is a big ol’ hark back to that famous old Weekly World News headline “World Weather- OUT OF CONTROL!!!” I remember standing in the grocery store checkout line thinking “Who was in control of it before?”
Don’t Panic “The life forms that Humans refer to as Mice are, unbeknownst to mankind, the most intelligent species on Earth, and not actually native to the planet. They are in fact hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional creatures whose rodent aspect represents merely a three-dimensional projection of their actual form.”
Bit of a stretch to say “people” are in charge of the planet. In the big picture.. “we” are just going along for the ride.. and a short one at that. Like many species that came before us.. eventually, we too will disappear and be replaced by some other life form.

It has occurred to me that there really are space aliens among us, guiding our evolutionary progress they sure have been doing a crappy job.

I’d put Eddie and his friends in charge.

I think the squirrels and rats would be fighting it out.

Going by total mass I suspect fungi are in charge. Maybe ants.

That’s like saying the fleas own and are in charge of the dog…..

Yes, people are “in charge” of the planet. The same way the bull is “in charge of” the china shop.

No, Toby, they aren’t. Proverbs 16:9.

Sometimes Toby has one of his bright moments – then he sounds like Eddie.
