Fossil Fuel comes from dead plankton and algae, much older and more plentiful than this poor fellow and his colleagues. He isn't going to achieve his aspirations.

That's correct, but telling somebody, that their car runs on dead dinos just sounds better.
Isn't a bunch of it from fallen plant matter before decomp bacteria/fungus became thing too?
I think that is coal. Almost all the coal in the world was made between 300 and 360 million years ago, between the times that the right plants showed up for coal production and the bacteria showed up to break them down too fast.
Yeah, that’s what coal is IIRC.
I'm burnin' diesel, burnin' dinosaur bones - goes pretty hard.
I had a geophysicist explain this to me in detail after I quipped that our job was to make sure the dinosaurs didn't die for nothing.
I always wondered why there could be a shortage of coal and fossil fuel since it should be constantly made on various layers. Then I looked it up. Seems like that is all there will be in any quantity, especially for coal but also for fossil fuel though I have seen less about whether more fuel is being made by the biomass that falls in the ocean... I can't find that information on a quick search when I'm supposed to be doing cad drawings right now ... heh.
Damn, I love their style
The author posts aplenty on Reddit, all their comics are in this psychedelic manner. I'm suspecting they was collecting random textures since early 2000s. Be prepared for an inordinate amount of very gay romance, though.
Lmao okay now I’m hooked
"Isn't that just terrific! Oh!"
Good dino thinking about the shareholders!
Rawdog?
The true capitalists sacrificing themselves for corporate profits before it was cool.
