Strip by: Reisen U. Inaba

Charlie Brown: Have ever heard of a Diatryma?
Nermal: Really?
Charlie Brown: He was a bird who stood seven feet tall and had a head as large as that of a horse! He had a huge sharp bill and powerful legs with which he could run down small animals.
Nermal: Wow!
Charlie Brown: He is now extinct... In fact, he hasn't been around for sixty billion years...
Nermal: Hey! Wait a minute!

The author writes:

The Earth is't even 5 billion years old, either Mr. Schulz mistyped or he misremembered. I could just change the "B" into an "M", but that will be too unobvious to recognize.
