The dodo depicted in the piece points to the species' extinction, with the gravestone noting its last sighting in 1681. A passenger pigeon carves the epitaph without realizing that its own species will also become extinct. “Martha 29 1914” pays homage to the last passenger pigeon, which died at the Cincinnati Zoo. “Ireland?” refers to Peter Calvesbert's possible relocation to Ireland, while “Felix” commemorates the horse of Peter's wife, Andrea. The tin can and human footprint signify humanity's role in the ecological crisis, and Peter's signature mouse is nestled in the pigeon's wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside Version 1, the dodo bluntly tells a cat to go away, referencing the role cats and dogs played in eating dodo eggs. The interior of the Infinity Version contains gravestones of other animals with their dates of extinction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Last Laugh\u003c\/em\u003e was carved by Peter Calvesbert in 1999, released June 1, 1999 and retired November 1, 2003.
