Hungry hippo overlords

This human experiment has gone on long enough. Give the hippos control.

Farley Katz had this published in  The New Yorker last June.  It's another in the category of "God contemplating His Creation" gags that include a lonely Earth floating in cold space.  When I first saw this cartoon I didn't see God facing the Earth.  I saw his ear as the eye of a fish-like deity facing the angel dude.  I don't know whether that might've made the joke a little better.
