In the 1950s, UCMP mounted an expedition to collect fossil marsupials from
Australia.
This is Huff's somewhat satirical view of what these marsupials of the past
may have looked like. One of them, shown at the right, bears a suspicious
resemblance to Dr. Stirton, the expedition leader. Huff named these
magnificent beasts of the past Homomarsupialansis humbugi, and wrote
at the lower right, 'Friend Stirt -- This is a restoration of one marsupial
fossil you will have a hard time finding in Australia. Bill Huff'.
