I remember Jack Kirby's take on Earth: After Disaster -
"Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth."

The Great Lakes will have merged and Hudson's Bay gets surrounded by land.

https://www.comics.org/issue/25510/cover/4/?

per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Kamandi notes that while his publisher asked the King to cook
up something reminiscent of The Planet of the Apes, Jack had
unsold ideas from as early as the mid-50s in his files which
he reworked into a new feature. And one he did sell.

Harvey was still in business doing Casper and Richie Rich.
