Pretty straightforward that alien used her to seed our planet.

Next in: how many Joneses can dance on the tip of a pre-Big Bang singularity?

I must say that I don't like this whole development's implications. That the human form is somewhat the pinnacle, the goal behind it all.
Too antropocentric for my tastes, and just after Coyote's revelation about his origins(assuming he even meant it) it feels like a copout.

I don't like such implications either, but if it's true that she was sprung into existence retroactively then there aren't really any such implications (because humans made her in the future). Of course, she's still no Vivec.

Oi, what's with you and the Vivec thing? In any case, I'll wait 'till all this is done before any judgements.

When Vivec became a god, he became one retroactively. And he's pretty awesome.

In one of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics, humans retroactively became the dominant species on earth (replacing housecats) by dreaming about it. Despite his many advances in the field of stealing divine powers, Vivec didn't invent that particular concept. It crops up everywhere, really.

Anyway, the question we should all be focusing on is this:
If Jones predates the formation of Earth, which although by no means certain looks very much plausible, what is Tom going to use to cover her tits?

She'll float in space backwards.  Or it'll be zoomed in on her face.  Or maybe she'll wear a gown of space ice, collected over the millennia.

I didn't say he did. Just that she ain't no Vivec.

I think that last panel was a pretty great way to finish it, but I think Tom's comment below it really made it for me.

Guess it turns out that whoever called for Mort Fun Time after the flashback wasn't too far off. At least not with this picture in the comment. :P

Nah, mort fun times was when Tom was sending out a slew of bad jokes on twitter. It's stopped now.
