Drugs even killed the dinosaurs!

A wrinkled and yellowed sheet of paper upon which a child has written in block letters “DRUGS EVEN KILLED THE DINOSAURS.” The poster depicts three animals - an archaeopteryx, a pteranodon, and a nautiloid - with their relative sizes. A test tube labeled “CRACK” is being upended and sprinkled over the pteranodon, who is screaming “help!” via a talk bubble. In neat red pen, a teacher has graded the work with a star and the words “I really appreciate your poster!”

Was going through a box of old stuff from my elementary school days at my parents house and found this bizarre poster presumably from a DARE class. I’m guessing I had just discovered The Far Side and Gary Larson’s iconic “what really killed the dinosaurs” comic. This is so very on brand for me in that it was more about how cool dinosaurs were than how bad drugs were. The little vial of “CRACK” appears to be an afterthought.

Can’t imagine the look on my teacher’s face as she declared how much she appreciated my work.
