Origin Species, CH Bennett, grieving man - crocodile

A crocodile's tears'. Satire on Darwin's Origin of Species showing the evolution of a crying, grieving man from a crocodile. Fresh from the funeral of a friend this mans tears conceal an ulterior motive. From crocodile to snake in the grass, which evolves into a burst money bag which in turn evolves into his tears which are about to snuff out the burning candle on his table (thus long will his grief last)
