The cave paintings at Lascaux, adorned with primitive animals, inspire a
caveman to invent the first calendar. The joke is that it's a Pin-Up
calendar featuring a Palaeolithic Pin-Up Girl.
The animals depicted
on the cave walls are believed to represent complex, spiritual, or
magical rituals rather than simple, everyday hunting scenes. Scholars
suggest they depict a shaman's visions, "hunting magic" to ensure
survival, but cartoonist Smilby tosses all that out in favor of another
basic instinct: sex.
