I did not for even a second believe the artist was looking to depict a realistic view of a particular species, just the standard cultural view of early humans (ie so easy a caveman could do it). So no, I was not wondering.

Well, this just took an interesting turn.

There's that and the "this could be useful later" mentality. Things like empty cans, bread ties, old computer bits, loose tools etc. And though I'm not even close to hoarder (more of a minimalist) saving some stuff has really come in handy, like old cables or aforementioned bread ties

Every tech geek got that box of old cables just because they might need one at some point.
And I for sure keep some extra bread clippy things around because I like them more than the twisty ties. But they also break a lot.

I can't wait for the moment I get to introduce him to my niblings. "Hey cats, this is your great grandfather. Treat him with respect, change his box twice a year."

Yeah but how much of him? Both of his husbands got ash we can pretend are him and put him in urns. It's a family tradition now to go out to the garage, look up in shame at the box of grandpa as you grab five popsicles just for yourself.

There's a really good YT channel called Midwest Magic Cleaning, who cleans hoarder houses for free. He talks a lot about the "potential" of an item vs it's current value.
Hoarders will keep an item because it has potential, but the item will never "actualize" that potential. Thus the current "value" of the item is just taking up space
He also talks a lot about the emotional attachment, as well as the actual panic disorders that can be triggered by someone attempting a cleanup.
The comic is funny, but it's not really a good representation
