Dinosaur Comics

Dinosaur Comics is a weekdaily, constrained webcomic by Canadian writer Ryan North featuring talking dinosaurs and covering subjects from the banal to the philosophical. Each comic is the same picture, but with different dialogue. Each strip, in addition to the dialogue, contains three Easter Eggs: the title (available in the RSS feed), the subject for the comments e-mails, and a tooltip.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * October 31, 2005

 * Tooltip: it was one of those 'i bet you can't lick your elbow' type bets that t-rex shouldn't have fallen for, but that's not really important to the story right now.

 * T-Rex: Dating both twin sisters at the same time: Hot? Or just, in fact, KIND OF WEIRD? I'm afraid that I fall on the 'kind of weird' side of the fence this time. While I'm usually strongly in favour of the hot makeouts, they're sisters! It's like they've made out with each other, through proxy. Transitive makeouts!

 * Dromiceiomimus: Nightmares aren't really that great, T-Rex. Bad things happen to people you like.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * January 19, 2006
 * Utahraptor: That strikes me as an odd analogy, T-Rex!
 * T-Rex: Does it?
 * Utahraptor: Yeah. I don't - I don't understand what you're going for with it. Why are you a girl? And why would you compare puberty to a nightmare in the first place? You've had some success with it.
 * T-Rex: Hah! I SURE have.

 * T-Rex: It sucks, because if everyone disagrees with you, then you'll never get anything you want. It's majority rule!  MOB rule!
 * Dromiceiomimus: Well, majority rule is sort of the definition of democracy, T-Rex. Not everyone can get everything they want!
 * T-Rex: Yeah, but what if the majority decided to be totally racist against you? You're pooched!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * January 23, 2006

 * Utahraptor: My favourite are the freegans!
 * T-Rex: Where you be vegetarian for free?
 * Utahraptor: Close! It's where you don't eat meat unless you're given it for free, like from a dumpster. You prevent meat from going to waste, but you don't support its production.
 * T-Rex: That sounds close to flexitarians, who only eat meat when being vegetarian would be rude or inconvenient!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * January 24, 2006
 * T-Rex: I myself am a tremendo-meatatarian, which means that I only eat meat which I find to be tremendously delicious!

 * T-Rex: That's even less positive than the first one!!
 * Utahraptor: 'T-Rex: That Awful Taste in your Mouth, First Thing in the Morning'

 * T-Rex: Hey, Dromiceiomimus! I have a friendship crush on you!
 * Dromiceiomimus: Well, thank you T-Rex. You're not so bad yourself.

 * T-Rex: BARELY. So barely! I've seriously never been impressed with a plant.
 * Utahraptor: Even sunflowers? They tilt to follow the sun!
 * T-Rex: Don't get me started about sunflowers! God!  Their salty, boring seeds!
 * Tooltip: t-rex is not telling the truth. in 1998, he was quite impressed with a flower that bloomed only once a year, and that smelled septic while doing so.

 * T-Rex: True! But I can sum it up in a play involving everyone wanting some of my delicious ice cream cone!
 * Utahraptor: What?
 * T-Rex: And then we all decide to pitch in and take over the ice cream cone factory?

 * Utahraptor: I'm serious! People get so hung up on finding "the one" that they forget everything else. You can have an entirely rewarding life without being so "madly in love" with someone! Close friendships and a private room can offer most of the things love does.
 * T-Rex: A private room? Oh man, were you just namedropping M.C. MASTURBATION?

 * Utahraptor: So basically you're just asking people what they liked and what they didn't like?
 * T-Rex: Yeah! But "regret index" makes it sound more scientific. I honestly think this could be useful! You could find out how many people are still happy that they memorized every Star Trek episode!

For example, your well-known satisfaction at eating cereal in the morning is an exact, identifiable, reproducible joy that I can only label "breakfast pleasure".
 * T-Rex: Breakfast pleasure! Finally, I have words for that most sublime of satisfactions!! BREAKFAST PLEASURE. I love breakfast pleasure.

 * Dromiceiomimus: Are we to use those words in place of "bitches"?
 * T-Rex: Exclusively! FOR EXAMPLE, instead of saying "Hey! Get off my back, bitches!" I can NOW say "Hey! Get off my back, Monterey Jack!"
 * Utahraptor: That one only works because it rhymes!!
 * T-Rex: Says you, gravy!

 * T-Rex: TRUE, but that's ridiculous. That's like saying if your parents had conceived differently you wouldn't have been born...

And I'm not sure how he gets them yet but BASICALLY he's got this slot in the top of his head, and he can write words on cards and put them in the slot, and he gains those qualities!  So say a decision has to be made: he writes 'decisive' on a card and forces it into his head, and he becomes Decisive Lee!  He then has the power to do things decisively.  SUPER decisively!

 * Tooltip: T-Rex used to think foreshadowing was a real yawnfest, but had a change of heart about it when he came across that explosion example in a book he was reading. Basically every page was like that, with characters loudly announcing that they hope they don't get blown up, and then they get blown up on the next page!  It was a pretty awesome book, you guys

 * T-Rex: Futurism was an art movement where dudes were all 'CARS ARE COOL AND THE PAST IS FOR CHUMPS. LET'S DRAW SOME CARS.'
 * Subject: cars were new at the time and futurists were big into paintings of cars. also, stories where there's cars
 * T-Rex: But they also extended beyond art, to food! Futurists had a MANIFESTO for food.  It banned the knife and fork AND pasta, AND told people that sardines and pineapples together were tasty times!  They banned pasta because it caused skepticism?
 * Dromiceiomimus: Was the food good?
 * T-Rex: Maybe? But it wasn't very popular.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * May 1, 2007
 * T-Rex: They didn't want to have to eat their food under UV lamps which 'activated' it, nor did they want to give up pasta. It's crazy!  The movement started in Italy, and I believe people canonically eat pasta there all the time!  Like, even for breakfast?
 * Utahraptor: I believe that to be Italian Canon, yes.

 * T-Rex: I'm writing a Hallowe'en story! A spooky story called 'The Haunted Nun Who DIES!'
 * Dromiceiomimus: She lives in a haunted house, and then she dies?
 * T-Rex: No no, the ghost haunts her. Like a house?  And then she dies and the ghost dies too so it's like, Russian nesting doll ghosts.  This happens several times over the course of the narrative, so by the end, there's so many ghosts-within-ghosts that the only possible response is ULTIMATE TERROR.

June 2007

 * June 4, 2007
 * Dromiceiomimus: That's not pathetic fallacy! It's when you give emotions to the inanimate: "ice wants to float", and so on. It can also happen when weather mirrors a character's emotions, like when Shakespeare gets sad, it starts to rain. I think that's what you meant?
 * T-Rex: OR, when Shakespeare gets pissed, and then a bear shows up and eats whoever pissed him off! Hah, looks like you pissed off the wrong playwright, dude! He's in with the BEARS!!
