Three panel comic. Panel 1: the stage of the Jerry Springer show with an audience watching. A peeved looking person sits in a chair. Jerry Springer stands next to him and says, β€œwe have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the incensed audience boos loudly. Panel 3: security attempts to break out a fistfight between the onstage guest and a prehistoric fish, the Tiktaalik.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
