#3064 - Lungfish
The comic depicts a stick figure standing on a wooden dock, speaking to a lungfish that is partially submerged in the water. Lungfish: "It turns out I've been editing both `Copy of Copy of Gene v3 (Newest) (2)` and `Copy of Copy of Gene v3 (Final) (2)` so now I can't delete either one." Stick figure: "You have got to stop doing this." Lungfish: "It's fine, I'll just buy more storage." The caption at the bottom states: "Why lungfish have such enormous genomes." Hidden text: "I know having so many base pairs makes rebasing complicated, but you're in Bilateria, so shouldn't you at LEAST be better at using git head?"
