PurpleKoolaid has graciously granted permission for anyone interested to mirror his spectacularly entertaining illustrated take on what kind of "intelligent designer" it would have taken to create fossil record like the one found on Earth (as long as order and credits are preserved, of course). This I have done, and so the cartoon is reproduced here in all its glory. (Warning: large images — patience and full screen viewing recommended.)
