Cockroaches will take over

The planet will be happier, that is for sure.

Another problem was just identified. It’s name starts with L—-

All the horses and pets will starve to death. Killing the humans solves nothing.

Well who is then going to look after the clever horse?

There used to be show called Life After People. It was interesting. Most of the animals will adapt.

Really? Are the horses and the hens going to deal with any extinct-level asteroids heading for Earth in the future after humans are gone? Or are they just all doomed dinosaurs V2.0?

Several documentaries on the recovery going on in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl have found the area teeming with wildlife that is thriving and multiplying without humans around. Also, back in 2009 the History channel had a series of documentaries called “Life After People” where they speculated what would happen if humans just vanished. The consensus was that most domesticated animals would turn feral (assuming they were not trapped inside buildings), and wildlife would rebound from near extinction. The programs featured segments showing where this is occurring now in abandoned places, such as the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

‘Problem Child’ not even Jr Healy was as devious as Danae

Cockroaches will only last for a short time then they will run out of food, most will die.

According to some, cockroaches will likely survive where humans won’t, but then they’ll eventually turn on themselves and self-exterminate due to lack of other food sources.

Humans are the problem. They are the only species the world is better off without.

If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem.

Panel 2 = real sense!

Okay. Let me know when she comes up with something. I got nothin’

@nicka93 and sandpiper – Sorry, cockroaches have been here for millions of years, are you saying they are dependent on humanity’s messy kitchens to survive now?

Apparently it’s almost impossible to extinguish life completely once it forms on a planet. Earth has had five major extinctions and numerous minor ones that can be tracked over it’s four plus billion year history. Those life forms that have been wiped out are always replaced by the evolution of others which are better suited to the new conditions.

Most, if not all, previous extinction events were the result of an external cataclysmic event. Homo sapiens is the only species that seems bent on extinguishing itself. Perhaps Mark Twain was correct when he mused that he often thought God created man only because He was disappointed in the monkey.

My immediate reaction was to agree with Lucy but there is actually a use for humanity (or some other technologically adept species) in the medium-far future.

Everyone knows that in 5,000,000,000 years the Sun will expand enough to swallow the Earth. What is less known is that the Sun has been increasing its radiation output ever since its formation ………….. and in only 100,000,000 years the seas will evaporate. Life will become impossible long before then.

A species with sufficiently advanced technology could tow Earth into a larger, cooler orbit.

After humans, it would be interesting to see how remaining life evolves. It won’t go back to prehistoric sizes, because the oxygen content on the atmosphere is lower

THE ROACHES ALREADY HAVE….THERE CALLED DEMOCRATS.

It is the perfect way to “Save the Planet”

Well, little horse, be careful what you wish for. With no humans, you might have to live….oh, what’s the word…oh, yes…outside. Bummer.

Ouch! A little too on-the-nose. It is starting to look more-and-more like the only way to keep Earth habitable for humans is if something terrible destroys most of the humans. The unfortunate part of that is we seem to be relying on that solution, even arranging for it to happen, as Plan A.

nature is not peaceful . It is beautiful but it is harsh and hard. Follow the rules or die.

Is the ever-present self-loathing of Leftist Ideology indicative of a greater loathing of all humanity?

Last one out turn off the lights.

I’m still wondering how they deal with the fact that horses can’t be housebroken.

When I consider the exponential explosion of technology together with its application to ever-safer environments and devices and predictive A.I., I believe the future will approach our understanding of God. And in fact, the future is already here in the vast number of habitable planets that are billions of years ahead of us. Maybe until we reach that point, we must still rely on prayer, for those problems we can’t fix ourselves.

a bit of over generalisation isn’t it? The problem with human are certainly cause by those human who craves power like flies to dungs. most of us are perfectly contented to while our time on cat pictures and fly swatting.

Evolution is driven by problems and will continue to function, with or without humans. All living things are born to die, whether or not humans continue after your death should be of no interest to you Extinction of a species is no big deal. Evolution will continue to mold species to fit the environmental problems they face.

#LucyIsRight

Without humans,who’d clean up all the horse poop?

Ha! Ha! Excellent Lucy…from the mouths of the Animal Kingdom!

Humans have had plans to rid the planet of themselves for a long time now.

News story signals the end of civilization:

Colo. Cyclists Can Now Legally Roll Through Stop Signs, Red Lights After Pausing

LOL …………… Lucy is absolutely right!! Good one, Wiley.

By destroying the atmosphere, humans are causing our own extinction as well as most life as we know it.

I’m embarrassed to admit I just noticed Danea’s laptop’s skull image has a bite out of it, much like an apple.

Danae is The Lathe of Heaven. God help us.

Lucy is not wrong

I see Lucy subscribes to the philosophy of one Agent Smith.

The horse is bizarrely accurate on this one.

Religion folks. No abortions, no birth control. Keep having children even though the ones you have are starving.

Sorry.

Just wish we could get it together as humans and control ourselves.

Lucy is right tho.
