I'm back making comics! Thought I'd head back to Tumblr!
Natural Smellection at work! Thanks for reading. Smell ya later!
Corvids or crows are actually so smart though, (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-09400-0). They will inherit the earth, right after they finish explaining to you why Nietzsche and Schopenhauer are geniuses.
