** One intrepid fan actually prepared and ate the recipe invented by T-Rex, which involves frying up equal parts of ground beef and ''ice cream'', throwing in some eggs and salt and then serving it in a bathtub with a cash garnish. This concoction was described as "astonishingly edible".

It then flashes back three weeks earlier, where we find T-Rex... discussing about charging MP3 players with his friends. The last panel ends with a message appologising that they went so far back that the events that led to everybody dying haven't started yet, ending with "LISTEN, THANK YOU FOR READING MY COMIC TODAY".
