Captain Comics replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Swamp Thing: Green Hell
"Maybe the ending could have jumped ahead a bajillion years, where dolphins had evolved as the most advanced species, and ran the world in peace and harmony! The older I get, the more certain I am that we will never grow up enough to do that. "
