Just because I'll never stop pointing it out, [http://www.geocities.ws/jeeptoys/eu6.jpg E.C. Segar's 1936 comic strip] is the first hard-SF example of a xenoimpregnation, giving a process which explained the merging of an entity from our world (in this case, an [[wp:Basenji|African Hooey Hound]], specifically, her reproductive cells) with a higher-dimensional life form. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User_talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 20:55, 6 June 2020 (CEST) | Just because I'll never stop pointing it out, [http://www.geocities.ws/jeeptoys/eu6.jpg E.C.

:That's nice, yes. "Life cells" and "germination" do not necessarily refer to the impregnation of reproductive cells, though, so that's your own contribution (Segar-Scen theory?). --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 18:42, 7 June 2020 (CEST) | :That's nice, yes.

::I'll have to reply to the rest of this page later, but I just wanted to say that I don't think that's my contribution. Note that the phrase referring to the Hooey Hound is "''free'' life cells", and that they "combined at a favorable time". Sounds like a she-dog in estrus, except phrased in delicate terms for a 1930s audience. I was led to that interpretation by reading about endogenous retroviruses. Frankly it's mind-blowing that someone wrote this over 80 years ago. (P.S.: My contribution is linking the supposedly-fictional "African Hooey Hound" to the Basenji, the world's oldest dog breed, which took a fair bit of research and I don't think anyone has publicly made the connection before. Segar was using a term that is now an anachronism, almost lost in time.) --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 21:37, 7 June 2020 (CEST) | |||
