the little red-scaled dinosaur T-Rex: Ah, long-forgotten childhood friends! / Narrator: LONG FORGOTTEN CHILDHOOD FRIENDS COMICS / T-Rex: I miss them! Sure, we were probably a little petty and -- well, kids, but it feels like those friendships were somehow simpler... more pure! / T-Rex: I wonder what all my old friends are up to now... I haven't seen most of them since grade five! / Utahraptor: Well, you're in luck! I ran into one of the old neighbourhood kids today! / T-Rex: You did? / Utahraptor: Yes! Remember that little red-scaled dinosaur you had the biggest crush on? / T-Rex: Oh my goodness! The little red-scaled dinosaur? How is she? / Utahraptor: Well she's all grown up now! / T-Rex: Oh, wow! Did she mention me at all? / T-Rex: I used to hide in the bushes outside her house!

constraints and the nature of argument structure T-Rex: Does "Betty put butter on the bread" mean the same thing as "Betty buttered the bread"? / T-Rex: I would argue: no! / T-Rex: In the second example, there is an implication that the bread is wholly buttered, while in the first, this is not necessarily the case! And this applies not just to butter: there are many other examples. For instance, "Gary wrote for many TV shows" leaves open the possibility of a co-author on the scripts, a possibility that "Gary wrote many TV shows" does not! / Utahraptor: Wow! These small changes in semantics (he meaning of a word or phrase) are quite interesting! / T-Rex: Yes! / Utahraptor: But hard, too. / T-Rex: Agreed. / Narrator: Thanks to chapter three of Steven Pinker's 1989 book "Learnability and Cognition", upon which most of this comic was based.

sweet dinosaur kissing T-Rex: Whoo! It's cool to be cool! / T-Rex: And I'M the coolest! / T-Rex: This guarantees me POPULARITY. Who would not like to hang out with someone who's the coolest? The answer is no-one! / Utahraptor: Whoah! That's some unrestrained ego you've got going, my friend! / T-Rex: Yep! / T-Rex: I'm experimenting with it. They say that women like a man with confidence, so I will be the most confident man ever! / Utahraptor: But not all women are alike! I bet you some women like a man who is a push-over. / T-Rex: Sucks for them! They won't get any of my SWEET DINOSAUR KISSING. / Utahraptor: I find that disgusting, yet can't articulate why!

Stereotypical male fantasy number one T-Rex: Guess who kissed two ladies at the same time yesterday? / T-Rex: If you guessed "T-Rex", you are CORRECT! / T-Rex: Woo-hoo! That's Stereotypical Male Fantasy Number 1 checked off! Now I can move on to Stereotypical Male Fantasy Number 2 at my earliest convenience! / Dromiceiomimus: Congratulations my friend! I am supportive of your sexual proclivities. What's Stereotypical Male Fantasy Number 2? / Utahraptor: I'm a man, and I don't know what Stereotypical Male Fantasy Number 2 is either! / T-Rex: Really? / T-Rex: I'm surprised! You don't have any idea? / Utahraptor: I bet it has something to do with ladies acting improbably! / T-Rex: Well YEAH, but it's the specific nature of the improbable actions that matters! Remember? / T-Rex: We had this discussion after I showed you my "One day lots of people have sexy sex" erotic fiction. / T-Red: Remember?

compressed film comics VII Narrator: COMPRESSED FILM COMICS: "THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT" / T-Rex: Time to fix all my relationship issues with my girlfriend, Kayleigh, by going back in time... / T-Rex: ...using the power of my MIND! / Narrator: SHORTLY: / Off-screen: Everything's fine, CEPT YOU GOT NO LEGS! / T-Rex: Shit! / Narrator: SOON: / Dromiceiomimus: Everything's fine, except now Kayleigh's father has become a crazy pedophile! / T-Rex: Huh? / T-Rex: Oh well! I can fix THAT! / Narrator: SOON: / Utahraptor: Everything's fine, except now Kayleigh dropped out of school to become a prostitute! / T-Rex: Sheesh! / Narrator: SOON: / Utahraptor: Okay, everything's fine, except you accidently killed Kayleigh's little brother Tommy! Whoops! / T-Rex: Darn it! / T-Rex: THIS time... / Narrator: SOON: / Off-screen: Everything's fine, except now you totally never meet Kayleigh! / T-Rex: That's okay!

cautionary tale comix Narrator: CAUTIONARY TALE COMIX / T-Rex: "This too shall pass!" / T-Rex: Hah hah hah! / T-Rex: Isn't that right, Dromiceiomimus? Wealth and power and knowledge and love and friendship are all fleeting and pointless! Whoo! One day will we all be dead! / Dromiceiomimus: You seem awfully cheerful about all this! / T-Rex: That too shall pass! / Utahraptor: Normally the saying is only applied to BAD things, T-Rex! / T-Rex: It applies to all things! / Utahraptor: Well, okay, but nobody want to invite someone to a wedding whose toast is going to be "This too shall pass"! / T-Rex: Man, I'm not trying to get invited to any weddings! / Narrator: LATER: EVERYONE GETS INVITED TO A WEDDING EXCEPT T-REX. / T-Rex: Ouch! / T-Rex: For me!

ryoma T-Rex: Today I am talking about the made-up desease "ryoma", and there are many kinds of ryoma one can contract! / T-Rex: Festering ryoma, for instance! / T-Rex: Eww! / T-Rex: Creeping ryoma. / T-Rex: Salacious ryoma! / T-Rex: MEPHITIC OCULAR RYOMA. / Utahraptor: Aw man, these all sound disgusting! / T-Rex: I know! It's amazing! / T-Rex: Ryoma doesn't even exist, and yet it's the most disgusting desease ever. / Utahraptor: Hah, it really is! "Uvular ryoma". / T-Rex: "As we kissed, I could taste the ryoma on her lips." / Utahraptor: Hah hah! Gross! / Utahraptor: "When I woke this morning, my thighs were slick with ryoma" / T-Rex and Utahraptor: Ewww!

the manliest thing in the world T-Rex: The manliest thing in the world? Easy! / T-Rex: Wastin' food! / T-Rex: Oh man, imagine a guy who orders a big steak dinner with all the fixings, and then when it's delivered, he just flips it onto the floor! / T-Rex: That would be one tough dude! I would rate him, "Super Manly". / Utahraptor: Okay, you've lost me: how is wasting food manly? / T-Rex: It just is! / T-Rex: It captures the ESSENCE of masculinity: doing stuff that we think is cool, even though there's many a good reason not to do it! / Utahraptor: Like flipping plates of food onto the ground? / T-Rex: Like friggin' draining a lake, filling it with Sloppy Joes, and then spraying the whole thing with pesticides! / T-Rex: And piloting the crop duster PERSONALLY. I tell you, wasting food: the manliest thing in the world! / T-Rex: That and punchin' stuff!

philosophical progress T-Rex: I wonder: are we actually making progress? / T-Rex: (Where "we" refers to the general population, of course!) / Dromiceiomimus: How do you mean, T-Rex? / T-Rex: Well - what about philosophy, for instance? We've had thousands of years to think about what it means to be alive, yet we're still no closer to an answer! Where's the progress when we're still grappling with the same questions as the ancients? / Utahraptor: You assume there exists an answer to such cosmic questions! / T-Rex: I do! / Utahraptor: What about the whole idea of "the only questions worth asking are those that can't be answered"? / T-Rex: Self-justification from philosophers who can't reach a conclusion, my friend! I want ANSWERS, not debate! I want a one sentence SUMMARY of LIFE. / Utahraptor: Something like, "too bad we'll all be dead"? / T-Rex: Yeah, only catchier and more informative! / T-Rex: And less depressing!

no burying t-rex alive T-Rex: I hope I never get BURIED ALIVE! / T-Rex: Yep, that sure would suck! / T-Rex: Boy, would I ever hate to be buried alive. I can't think of anything I'd dislike more! I mean - damn! Buried alive! / Utahraptor: Why are you talking like that? / T-Rex: Like what? / Utahraptor: Like you're trying to lead someone on, goading them into burying you alive. / T-Rex: Woah, is that what I sound like? Oh my gosh! I don't want to get buried alive at ALL! / T-Rex: I thought stressing that fact would make it clear, but apparently NOT. I drop the subject now! But don't forget! No burying T-Rex alive!

isn't it crazy that are minds are IN OUR HEAD? T-Rex: So, I'm not really comfortable with the fact that my mind is actually something physical. / T-Rex: It implies that everything I am, everything I think, can be altered! / T-Rex: It's scary! Some people who suffer brain damage can have their entire personality rewritten. Heck, add some chemcials and you can alter how and what a person thinks! / T-Rex: That's crazy! / T-Rex: Crazy! / Utahraptor: And this freaks you out? / T-Rex: It really does. / T-Rex: You know what freaks me out the most, though? It's those remote control cyborg cockroaches they've made by pretty much taking over the animal's nervous system. I can just imagine the insect screaming endlessly in it's mind as its own body is made alien. / Utahraptor: Oh my God! / T-Rex: Anyway, that was sort of tangential! Getting back to the subject: isn't it CRAZY that our minds are something physical!

thigh fives all around T-Rex: What a good mood I am in today! / T-Rex: I declare: high fives all around! / T-Rex: Hey Dromiceiomimus! Give me a thigh five! / Dromiceiomimus: A what? / T-Rex: What? Whoah, I meant to say "A high five", of course! / T-Rex: Oh man. What an embarrassing slip of the tongue! I have to go now! / Narrator: LATER: / T-Rex: What the heck? A thigh five? Where did that even come from? / Utahraptor: What's going on? / T-Rex: Oh, hey Utahraptor. DID YOU KNOW that I just accidentally asked the Dromiceiomimus to give me a thigh five? / Utahraptor: Hah hah! I did NOT! What would that be, anyway? You both on your backs, slapping your legs together in the air? / T-Rex: My friend, thigh fives are a ridiculous way of expressing enthusiasm. I am aware of this! / T-Rex: This is not the issue here!
http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=436
typos in heaven T-Rex: I hope I don't run into the Dromiceiomimus today! She probably thinks I'm crazy since I asked for a "thigh five" the last time we met. / T-Rex: Oh shoot, there she is! Time to go INCOGNITO! / Dromiceiomimus: Hey T-Rex, what's up? Out for a walk, I see? / T-Rex: T-Rex? Who es T-Rex? I am a different, um, Tyrannosaurus Rex. / Dromiceiomimus: Hah hah, really? You're not the T-Rex who demands thigh fives from his friends? / T-Rex: Darn it! / T-Rex: She remembers! I'll never live this down! / Utahraptor: What are you so concerned about? / Utahraptor: It was just a wacky slip of the tongue! It's funny - this one time in high school, a friend of mine meant to type "I raised my HAND to block the sun" but instead wrote "hind", and since he wasn't the slimmest guy... oh man! / Utahraptor: Good times, good times! / God: OH MAN I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE / T-Rex: People laugh at typos in heaven?! / God: SOMETIMES WE DO

well-adjusted dinosaurs T-Rex: I've come to accept that I will be able to live down anything I do, given enough time! / T-Rex: So: no worries! / Dromiceiomimus: That's a healthy attitude, T-Rex! It'll let you explore things you otherwise might not, because you won't be worried about what others think! / T-Rex: Exactly! I am a well-adjusted dinosaur. / Utahraptor: Wait, let me talk to you before you go too far with this! / T-Rex: Sure! What's up? / Utahraptor: Well - it's just, you tend to take ideas to comedic extremes. So I just wanted to make sure you remember that you shouldn't dismiss the opinions of others entirely! / T-Rex: Of course! "Social Constraints Serve A Useful Purpose"! / T-Rex: I remember from the trial!

twenty-nine cent prints T-Rex: I just discovered that I can get digital prints for only 29 cents! / Narrator: DINOSAUR COMICS PRESENTS: 29 CENT PRINT COMICS / T-Rex: Did you know that you can now get digital prints for only 29 cents? This will change the world! / Dromiceiomimus: T-Rex, that service has been available for a while now. / T-Rex: B-B-But... 29 cent prints! / T-Rex: Hey there Utahraptor! Have I ever told you that you're a prints among men? / Utahraptor: You have not! / Utahraptor: And let me just say: thanks, T-Rex! / T-Rex: A 29 cents prints, that is! / Utahraptor (off-panel): That doesn't even make sense! / T-Rex: Still! Burnsauce!!

so crazy it's off the hook T-Rex: The craziest thing happened to me yesterday! / T-Rex: It was the CRAZIEST! / T-Rex: It was so crazy, I don't feel comfortable talking about it. / Dromiceiomimus: And yet, you're talking about talking about it, so do you want me to ask what the crazy thing was? / T-Rex: No thank you! It was too CRAZY. / Utahraptor: You know what? I bet it wasn't even very crazy! / Utahraptor: Was it very crazy? / T-Rex: My friend, it was so crazy it was OFF THE HOOK. / Utahraptor: That's pretty crazy! / T-Rex: I know! / T-Rex: As I say, it's analogous to leaving one's phone off the hook.

science means that not all dreams can come true T-Rex: Hmm... / T-Rex: Yep, it's certain! I can find NO DOWNSIDES with being immortal. / Dromiceiomimus: What about a world-weariness that can only come from watching everyone you know and love age and die while you remain stuck in a perpetual youth? / T-Rex: That's okay! Come on: living forever? I could do anything! I could do EVERYTHING - twice! / Utahraptor: But what if there's no food, and you're hellishly starving for an eternity? / T-Rex: Could that happen?! / Utahraptor: Well, I don't see why not. / T-Rex: But then, where would I be getting my energy from? / T-Rex: Hmm... I guess the idea of immortality DOES clash with the scientific principles of conservation of energy. / T-Rex: And so, once again, I am forced to reject a fantasy because it is based on bad science! / T-Rex: (Science means that not all dreams can come true!)

t-rex and his dinosaur friends in: old photographs Narrator: T-REX AND HIS DINOSAUR FRIENDS IN: "OLD PHOTOGRAPHS" / T-Rex: You know those early photographs? The silent, gloomy, sepia-toned ones? / T-Rex: They're so sad! / T-Rex: What gets me every time is the faces of people I'll never meet, people long dead, trying not to move as they stare into that early camera lens... but what ESPECIALLY always gets me are the faces of the people who did move. This was for some the only time their face would be recorded, and they happened to shift. / T-Rex: That's so sad! That's profoundly sad! / Utahraptor: Is it because those blurred faces remind you that no matter what, the past can never be completely known? / T-Rex: Kind of! But I think what affects me the most if the idea of someone coming that close to achieving at least a type of immortality, and then losing it to something as natural and ordinary as glancing away. / Utahraptor: Early photography does have its own sense of sad nostalgia, doesn't it? / T-Rex: It does indeed! It makes me want to go home and sit, alone and sober, in a darkened room. / T-Rex: Whoooo!
http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=442
man, i've always wanted to travel to the future! T-Rex: Man, I've always wanted to travel to the future! / T-Rex: Always! / T-Rex: It would be SO COOL to see how things work out. Wouldn't you agree, Dromiceiomimus? / Dromiceiomimus: I guess! / T-Rex: Also, I'd take back future technology with me and claim it as my own invention. / Utahraptor: You can't do that, T-Rex! / T-Rex: Says you! / Utahraptor: Says LOGIC. Think about it: if you did that, then where did the idea for the invention come from? You didn't have it, and now the future inventor won't have it either... / T-Rex: A paradox! / Utahraptor: Yes! / T-Rex: There's nothing funny about paradoxes.

tonight i am going to bed early T-Rex: Tonight I am going to bed early. / T-Rex: Sweetness! / T-Rex: More sleep for me! / T-Rex: Hey Dromiceiomimus, what time are you going to bed tonight? / Dromiceiomimus: Well, I don't know... I guess around eleve- / T-Rex: Cause I'm going to bed early tonight! / T-Rex: Me! Early! / Narrator: LATER: / Utahraptor: Word has it you're bragging about going to bed early? / T-Rex: Word has it right! / Utahraptor: But why? Usually people brag about awesome things, not lame-o things like going to bed early. / T-Rex: What are you talking about? It's cool to get a good night's sleep! / Narrator: YEARS LATER: / T-Rex: what? / T-Rex: It's cool to get a good night's sleep!

teen magazeen, the magazeens for teens T-Rex: Hmm... / T-Rex: *sigh* / T-Rex: Maybe I should just accept that I'll never be on the cover of a magazine! / Utahraptor: Why would you ever want to be on the cover of a magazine? / T-Rex: Because it means you're famous! / Utahraptor: Well, if that's your idea of fame, why not just publish your own magazine and put your face on the cover? / T-Rex: Hey! Yeah! I'll make my own magazine! AND it'll be my magazine for TEENS! / Utahraptor: Aw, no, no! Not that teen magazine idea again! / [[T-Rex is pictured on the cover of his magazine, entitled "teen magazeen." The subtitles on the cover read: "friends with benefits: pretty hot", "are you fully aware of sex? maybe not?", "special feature: stories where people lose their pants and are thus embarrassed", and "PLUS: understanding europe".]]

immortality through art Narrator: For we can always see and feel much that the people in old photos and newsreels / T-Rex: I have conceded that literal immortality is impossible! / Narrator: could not: / T-Rex: However! / Narrator: that their clothing and automobiles were old-fashioned, that their landscape lacked skyscrapers and other contemporary buildings, that their world was black / T-Rex: I am comforted by the fact that a type of immortality may still be possible. I speak of course of immortality through art! / Narrator: and white / Utahraptor: I get it! You intend to express all that you are through art! / T-Rex: Yes! / Narrator: and haunting / T-Rex: And in doing so, it will remain forever fixed, for all future generations to see! / Utahraptor: Oh man, I want in! Let's make a documentary about our lives. / T-Rex: That's a great idea! / Narrator: and gone. -Robert Rosenstone, "Visions of the Past" / T-Rex: We'll live forever!

imagine if santa claus worked at a newspaper? T-Rex: Imagine if Santa Claus worked at a newspaper? / T-Rex: "Ho-ho-hold the front page!" he'd say! / T-Rex: Hee hee! / T-Rex: Or if he worked on a boat: "Ho-ho-hoist that mainsail, lads!" / T-Rex: Or if he worked as a chipmunk, he'd say "I'm going to ho-ho-hoard all these nuts!" / T-Rex: I bet he would! / Utahraptor: "If he worked as a chipmunk"?! Your wit seems a bit off today, my friend! / T-Rex: Ho-ho-hold up? / T-Rex: Ahem. My wit is CHRISTMAS THEMED / Utahraptor: That doesn't make it good though! Lots of Christmas themed stuff is REALLY BAD. / T-Rex: You may be right! However: I still think my wit is stellar! / T-Rex: Come on, tell me that if Santa Claus worked as a chipmunk, he wouldn't talk about ho-ho-hoarding nuts! / Utahraptor: That's not a job! / T-Rex: It's a calling, I know; answer the question!

people on the internet: so dumb! T-Rex: Argh! People on the internet: / T-Rex: So dumb! / T-Rex: I can't take it any more, Dromiceiomimus! Everyone is off posting their dumb theories based off incorrect facts, and nobody even recognizes subtlety! So many people are so lame! / Dromiceiomimus: Is there such a thing as an incorrect fact? Doesn't being a fact imply correctness? / T-Rex: Aaah! That's not the point! RAGE! / Utahraptor: So why are you raging here against people on the internet? Why not post a scathing reply online? / T-Rex: Argh! / T-Rex: I have too much rage! All these people are writing dumb things with incorrect spelling and grammar, and when you correct them, they just get angrier! Its really annoying! / Utahraptor: Aha! You just used the wrong "its" there, my friend! / T-Rex: IT WAS SUBTLE IRONY. Sheesh, everyone! Subtlety! / T-Rex: Also! / T-Rex: Noticing such things in spoken language is impossible!

hooray for christmas cards! T-Rex: Hooray for Christmas! / T-Rex: Hooray!! / T-Rex: Hooray for getting Christmas cards! / Dromiceiomimus: Hooray!! / T-Rex: Hooray for getting Christmas cards with no return address signed with names you don't recognize! / Utahraptor: Wait - I take it this happened to you recently? / T-Rex: Sure did, Skip! / Utahraptor: Well, it looks like we've got a Christmas Mystery on our hands! / T-Rex: And that's one mystery I'd prefer to leave unsolved! I'm really enjoying this feeling of mysterious popularity. / T-Rex: Who could it be? Who have I forgotten?? MAYBE it's a pretty lady who wants to kiss me sometime! / T-Rex: Oh man! / T-Rex: Hooray for potential Christmas smooching, my friend!

i slept last night qu?bec style T-Rex: Time to do it up... / T-Rex: Quebec style! / T-Rex: Time to wrap up some presents for all my friends... / T-Rex: Quebec style! / T-Rex: Time to STOMP ON THIS HOUSE - Quebec style! / Utahraptor: Alright, I'll bite: what's "Quebec style"? / T-Rex: It's new and exciting! / T-Rex: I invented it because it sounds, as I say, exciting and full of promise! "Let's go see a movie, Quebec style!" Oh, wow! what does it mean? What's so different? I dont know, but I'm excited to find out! / Utahraptor: I'm not! / Narrator: LATER: / T-Rex: Hey guys, I brought a nice salad- Quebec style! / Guys: Oooh!

t-rex in: 'wrapping presents in the plastic bags they came in' Narrator: T-REX IN: "WRAPPING PRESENTS IN THE PLASTIC BAGS THEY CAME IN" / T-Rex: There's nothing wrong with that! / T-Rex: It saves the environment by using less paper! / Dromiceiomimus: But where's the magic? Where's the love and care that is shown in a well-wrapped present? / T-Rex: Replaced! Replaced with a healthy respect for the ENVIRONMENT. / T-Rex: Plus it was cheaper! / Utahraptor: Wrapping gifts can be a complicated issue! / T-Rex: Not really! / Utahraptor: Sure it is! Do you stay traditional and wrap presents nicely, in fancy paper - this can carry a lot of meaning - or try a more modern, environmentally-sensetive approach? / T-Rex: Like wrapping them in the plastic bags they came in! / Utahraptor: Or maybe something just a LITTLE bit classier. / Narrator: YEARS LATER, THE PRESENTS ARE GONE, BUT THE PLASTIC BAGS HAVE YET TO BIODEGRADE! / T-Rex: Just like my memories!

life reduced to clich?, AGAIN T-Rex: Seeing all my old friends and family over the holidays has been fun. Good times! / T-Rex: But, it has also been SAD. / T-Rex: We've all changed! It makes me more nostalgic for how things were before, just a year or two ago. Not because things were better, but because they were different! I always feel like I missed some opportunity, like I could have done something then that I can't do now. / Utahraptor: It's over now! / T-Rex: I know! / T-Rex: But I feel like everyone - all of us - could have done so much then, if only we handn't spent so many nights at home watching a movie or sitting in front of a computer! / Utahraptor: "Live every day to the fullest"? / T-Rex: My life reduced to cliche!
http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=452
nostalgia AND folk quotations, together at last! T-Rex: Bah! Nostalgia! / T-Rex: What use does it serve? / T-Rex: All it does is make us want things that we can't have, and can't even work towards having. Forget it! It's WASTED TIME. / T-Rex: From now on, I will not spend time remembering the past, nor will I be sad when circumstances change! From now on, I'm all about TOMORROW. / Utahraptor: Are you sure that's a good attitude, T-Rex? Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to fulfill it! / T-Rex: And those who cannot remember to attribute their quotations are condemned to commit academic offences. / Utahraptor: It's common knowledge who said it! Sheesh! GEORGE SANTAYANA. / Narrator: HELPFUL ONE-PANEL SUMMARY. / T-Rex: Nostalgia can make you sad. / Utahraptor: Attribute carefully!

mountaineering leading to cannibalism T-Rex: Man, you'll never find me on a mountaineering expedition or on a voyage to find the Northwest Passage. No thanks! / T-Rex: Do people not realize what's bound to happen? / T-Rex: As I see it, you're pretty much asking to be put in a situation wherein the food runs out, people betray one another, frozen corpses of friends are found in the morning, and eventually everyone resorts to cannibalism. / T-Rex: Well, you won't fool me! I know the stereotypes! / Utahraptor: But not all arctic exploration ends in cannibalism, T-Rex! / T-Rex: Says you! / Utahraptor: You're just thinking of one or two famous instances!
