T-Rex: It is the future, and due to friggin' PETER being bad at backups, all culture from the 21st century has been lost. All of it.

T-Rex: "Guys, I REALLY thought I backed it up" -FRIGGIN PETER.

T-Rex: Anyway, because of this culture stops with the release of Spice World in 1998, and then SCENE MISSING, and then we jump right to the insecto/Earthican crossover art inspired by the coming of the monstrous Arachno Space Queen of 2355.
Dromiceiomimus: It's all gone? All of it?
T-Rex: GONE FOREVER. This is, briefly, an incalculable loss!

Utahraptor: But artists, armed with a known start and end point, soon start filling in the blanks!
T-Rex: YES.

T-Rex: They imagine CENTURIES of art that might've taken place! These new cultural histories - thoughtful, brilliant, challenging - are soon vastly superior to what really happened, and for the rest of time artists always challenge themselves to create a better story for our missing years.

T-Rex: In the end, despite all our struggle, our only effect on future generations was to make them want to imagine a better version of ourselves.
Off panel: That's actually pretty sweet.
T-Rex: Yeah man. HEY, SENIORS!
T-Rex: WHO'S THE GREATEST GENERATION NOW??
