Has Jurassic Park taught these people nothing about bringing back extinct taxa?

Then again, this is the Pokémon universe and they have all sorts of crazy science stuff going on, like creating self-aware virtual life forms that can manifest physically, genetically modifying clones to be exponentially stronger than their progenitor, and engineering technology that projects a person's mind into a Pokémon. So maybe by now they've also learned to resurrect fossils responsibly.

 Thought I'd switch it up from Mars for a bit, and give some love to older space missions! Including the ones that... didn't quite perform nominally and probably ended up running into the Great Galactic Ghoul.

 I'll take "draw" every time! :)

 One last piece of Fossil Friday fan art (for now)! We were talking about Anzu wyliei one week, and someone asked why it had such long arms. MaggieJo suggested maybe they were for hugging, and then she wanted to see two Anzu hugging. I love oviraptorosaurs, so I jumped right on that idea. 

 This NPC line always kind of puzzled me, because it's this old guy claiming Lt. Surge was his superior officer. But Surge looks at least twenty years younger than this dude.

Also, the military doesn't even seem to be a thing in the Pokémon universe. So I'm not sure what Surge is even a lieutenant in anymore.

He probably gave himself that title just to sound cool.

Also, I had a lot of fun in these comics giving the Gentleman trainer class basically a Cthulu moustache. You never see a Gentleman's mouth. Maybe they don't have mouths. You're welcome for that mental image.

 Pretty sure this is an accurate representation of Phoenix's mission.

I had way too much fun coming up with some questionably edible flavors.

 Like I said: a fake moustache solves everything.
