Panel 1: A cave painting depicting two stylized figures on a textured, light brown cave wall. On the left, a figure with a large red cape and thin black stick-like limbs lies on its back. On the right, a dark purple, masked figure stands with hands on its hips, featuring a pale yellow handprint emblem on its chest, resembling a superhero or villain.

We went back through our archive and found this. We’re really excited because we think it might be evidence of the world’s first April Fools joke!

The character on the right appears to be a depiction of early homo super-erectus. It is somewhat unclear who the victim of his prank is, but we surmise it to be homo super-villainous, known to also frequent these pages around this time. In any case, it is an amazing discovery! Certainly one for the ages, guaranteed to put Frankel and Sapountzis on the pages of some of the most prestigious periodicals and sparking debate everywhere. And now you too can say you saw it here first. Enjoy!
