The “History” channel 😆

I simply adore this comic by Sketching Science #science #art

@Sheril early on I remember the history channel being basically non-stop WWII documentary shows. Then there was a while when I never saw television. Then I stumbled into the channel at a hotel in the mid-aughts and my thought was “what is all this ‘Ancient Aliens’ and ‘Ghost Hunters’ bullshit?!”

@Sheril
I love the “History channel” panel especially.

The first panel for “Religion”, though, is a big oversimplification, even if limited to Christianity – as a quick review of Wikipedia shows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejection_of_evolution_by_religious_groups

FWIW, from that WIkipedia outline, I suppose my own position would be be labelled “theistic evolution”.

@Sheril The Pokemon and Digimon panels look surprisingly good as minis. BTW Digivolution in the Season 1 2020 reboot is real eyecandy if you haven't seen it yet.

@Sheril "You mean we come from chimps?!"
"Well actually Chimps and Humans share a common ances.."
"Burn the witch!"

I'm sure there's a clever cartoon about that somewhere.

@Sheril yeah. Every so often I try to tell people how "the march of progress" is just old church racism, but it's exhausting.
@Sheril I know! That is the best bit... the History Channel... 😆💖
@Sheril Remember when the history channel was pretty much 24 hours of marching nazis?
