another wedding: dance with all the pretty girls T-Rex: This weekend, I go on a trip! I trip DOWN SOUTH. / T-Rex: Another friend of mine is getting married! / T-Rex:This will be my first heterosexual wedding. I'm excited! I got a nice card and everything! / T-Rex: The only thing I'm worried about is the dancing. I have such big, manly feet that sometimes they get in the way! / Utahraptor: I can teach you how to dance! / T-Rex: Oh, would you? / Narrator: Shortly: / Utahraptor: You're getting better! / T-Rex: Whoo! / T-Rex: Thanks! / T-Rex: Now all the pretty girls will want to dance with me for sure!
The King of the Dance T-Rex: Oh man... best wedding ever! / T-Rex: And with my new dance moves, I "tore up the dance floor"! / Dromiceiomimus: Are you sure it wasn't just a confidence thing? A sort of "the new dance moves were in you all along" thing? / T-Rex: I was - until you asked! Hmmm... / Utahraptor: So, T-Rex! How did it go? / T-Rex: It went fine! / T-Rex: But I'm beginning to suspect that the dance moves were in me all along! / Utahraptor: No, that's wrong. I taught you the dance moves. / T-Rex: Are you sure? Cause I sure felt like I was the King of the Dance that night! / T-Rex: To clarify, I meant to imply that the King of the Dance was self-taught! / T-Rex: I should have mentioned that sooner; otherwise, my statement makes less sense.
this is all the ID i need God: HEY T-REX THE NEXT TIME SOMEBODY ASKS YOU FOR ID YOU SHOULD PULL DOWN YOUR PANTS AND SAY THIS IS ALL THE ID I NEED / T-Rex: Genius; only I don't wear pants! / T-Rex: You know that, God. / God: OKAY WELL IF YOU WORE PANTS IT WOULD WORK REALLY WELL ON ALL SORTS OF THINGS / God: THIS IS ALL THE THESIS DEFENSE I NEED / God: THIS IS ALL THE BIKE HELMET I NEED / God: THAT SORT OF THING / God: OH MAN / God: I CRACK MYSELF UP SOMETIMES / T-Rex: Listen, God- / Utahraptor: T-Rex? / T-Rex: Utahraptor, am I glad to see you! Listen can you explain to God that His joke would be funny if we wore pants, but we don't wear pants, so He can stop talking about it? / Utahraptor: I'd like to, but I don't believe in your God! I think he's all in your head. / T-Rex: Well?! / God: HUH
turning a global disaster into a chance for sex with multiple partners T-Rex: Yes indeed! If I were the last man on Earth... / T-Rex: ...things would be different! / T-Rex: Hi, I'm the last man on Earth! / Dromiceiomimus: My, my! Hello! / T-Rex: Would you say you and your girlfriends find that... attractive? / Utahraptor: Daydreaming again, I see! / T-Rex: Aww, why'd you do that? I was imagining I was the last man on Earth! / Utahraptor: And no doubt turning what's clearly a global disaster into a chance for sex with multiple partners! / T-Rex: Heh. Well, you know me! / T-Rex: Always up to my old tricks!
oil of olay, twice a day T-Rex: It's a real shame that all those great careers I wanted as a child will probably never come true for me. I'll never get to be an austronaut, a race car driver, or a movie star! / T-Rex: It's a sad realization - I always sort of hoped such a job would just... fall into my lap! / Dromiceiomimus: Have you ever imagined what it would be like if you WERE a movie star, T-Rex? / T-Rex: Sometimes! But I don't have a very good imagination for that sort of thing. What would I be, a romantic lead? / T-Rex: Mostly I just insert myself into the commercials of my youth. / Narrator: OIL OF OLAY / Utahraptor: Don't I know you from somewhere? / T-Rex: Oh, that's original! / Utahraptor: Emerson High, 1975: you were in my class. / T-Rex: I was your teachah! / Utahraptor: Mrs Fitzherny?! / T-Rex: Bugsy... Brown
 
social ruin comics Narrator: SOCIAL RUIN COMICS / T-Rex: I am sick of cold, emotionally distant women! / T-Rex: That is: in theory! / T-Rex: In practice, I guess I would need more experience with women, emotionally distant or otherwise. / Dromiceiomimus: What, are you talking about me? You're saying I'm emotionally distant! / T-Rex: No! / Utahraptor: Well, who are you talking about then, T-Rex? / T-Rex: Just - you know, in general! I wasn't talking about anyone in particular. / Utahraptor: Yeah, but you were complaining about ex-girlfriends in front of a woman whom you've dated in the past! That's not exactly a recipe for social harmony. / T-Rex: Hi, Megan!
presentism Narrator: T-REX IN: "PRESENTISM" / T-Rex: Presentism is when you interpret the historical past with a view from the present! / T-Rex: Its danger is not just that it is often self-congratulatory, but also that judging historical figures by present-day moral standards is likely not a fruitful line of inquiry. What we see as questionable (say, sexism!) would have seemed completely routine to someone brought up in such a time, and we can't really blame historical figures, I think, for not questioning it! / Utahraptor: This seems awfully close to ethical relativism! / T-Rex: Huh? / Utahraptor: Well, aren't you saying we can't judge historical figures in a modern context, because they lived their lives during different times? But then what's the point of having our advanced modern ideals, if we can't apply them? I think we SHOULD be able to judge historical figures! / T-Rex: Anyway! In conclusion, presentism has good points and bad points and is not as interesting as I thought it was!
futurists, plus i can't get enough of the plop takes Narrator: T-REX IN "FUTURISTS" / T-Rex: Stupid futurists! / T-Rex: They think they're so great just because they talk about the future all day long. Ooh, look at me! I think that the future will have Internet robot nano-maids! Put me on the news!" Anyone can call themselves a futurist: it doesn't mean anything! / T-Rex: Argh! I even hate the TERM "futurist"! / Utahraptor: You, ah - you seem a little more vehement than usual, T-Rex! / T-Rex: They pus my buttons, is all! / T-Rex: I think it's because most of the predictions are either really dumb or blindingly obvious. / Utahraptor: Sounds like you already have your own idea of what the future will be like! / T-Rex: Yeah... full of Internet robot nano-maids!
historiography comics, featuring "good ol' t-rex" Narrator: HISTORIOGRAPHY COMICS featuring "Good Ol' T-Rex" / T-Rex: Historiography is the history of history, and includes the study of how history is understood! / T-Rex: We tend to think that history is just a record of what goes on in the past, but this overlooks the fact that two different people can view the same event, and even the same series of events, differently. / T-Rex: For instance! Is history the story of progress, from savage to cultured Man? Is it rather the study of Great Men and their Characters? Perhaps it is the story of cultural challenge and response! / Utahraptor: What's with the sexist language, T-Rex? You're all "great MEN, cultured MEN"! / T-Rex: Sorry! / T-Rex: Most of these theories of history are over 50 years old, and reflect the sexism in the language at the time. / Utahraptor: Well, if I were a woman, I think I'd be a little offended / T-Rex: I had to be careful not to let him know I'd considered this situation before. / T-Rex: Ha ha! / T-Rex: H-how do you mean?
why am I here? batteries. T-Rex: So - wait. What am I out for? I remember meaning to pick something up, but now I can't remember what! / T-Rex: Was it batteries, maybe? / T-Rex: Why am I here? / Dromiceiomimus: Well T-Rex, I think you're here - as I think we're all here - in order to make the world a better place. That is the purpose of life, I believe! / T-Rex: I actually meant my question in the most basic sense, but I want to appear deep. I'd better act angsty and play along. / T-Rex: Oh, my existential angst! Is there no happiness without knowledge of purpose? / Utahraptor: Hey, I'm happy! / Utahraptor: This is because I believe we're here in order to be witness to Creation. What greater purpose could there be, than to be the eyes and ears and souls of a Universe? / T-Rex: Ha ha, yeah, that sounds good! / T-Rex: So - heck. Batteries?
 
it's a party in this comic and everyone's invited Narrator: IT'S A PARTY IN THIS COMIC AND EVERYONE'S INVITED / T-Rex: Whoo!! Does anybody here like to party? / T-Rex: Does anybody here like to STOMP on HOUSES?! / T-Rex: If so, then I propose you join my party, featuring T-Rex! Whoo! / T-Rex: Stomping on houses! / T-Rex: Extreme!! / Dromiceiomimus: You're a one-man party, my friend! / T-Rex: As usual! / Dromiceiomimus: But do you think you could take the party DOWN a notch? / T-Rex: Nope! My parties only ever go UP notches! They go all the way to the top! Extreme! / T-Rex: EXTREME!!
my new boyfriend is exactly like you, only with none of the faults T-Rex: So, I accept that I am the epitome of the male form with typical grace. But what is with my getting a sunburn? / T-Rex: Huh? / T-Rex: Clearly, my body is UNDEREVOLVED. Being able to be burnt by the sun - which, I don't have to remind you, Dromiceiomimus, shines on the Earth EVERY DAY - seems to be a pretty big limitation! / Dromiceiomimus: Does that mean your body is...less than perfect? / T-Rex: My brain rejects that sentence as semantically invalid! / Utahraptor: What if there was someone exactly like you in every way, only HE didn't get sunburns? / T-Rex: Oh no! / T-Rex: I would be doomed to being a second-tier character in my own life! No one (including myself) would care what I was up to, when there was someone exactly like me only he didn't get sunburns! / Utahraptor: Well, let's be glad no such person exists then! / God: ACTUALLY I THINK THERE'S A DUDE LIKE THAT JUST DOWN THE STREET / T-Rex: Aw boo!
circle wipe double equals sign comedic gold T-Rex: My favourite cross-cutting technique of all time? / T-Rex: Why, the circle wipe! / T-Rex: I can't get enough! All you have to do for comedic gold is have someone say "Boy, I sure hope doesn't happen to me!" / T-Rex: Then we have a circle wipe to 8 hours later, and has happened to them anyway! Ho ho! Whoops! / Utahraptor: Hey T-Rex, what's your favourite cross-cutting technique of all time? / T-Rex: G- / T-Rex: I was just talking about my favourite cross-cutting technique of all time. ALREADY. / Utahraptor: Well, how - / T-Rex: ALREADY I had covered that material. / T-Rex: ALREADY.
being polite, also: your mom T-Rex: Hm... maybe social relationships would be much easier if everyone said exactly what they were thinking! / T-Rex: This gives me an idea! My idea is what I was just talking about! / Hello, Dromiceiomimus, and I am glad to see YOU! Today I've decided to heck with being polite, and I'm saying whatever's on my mind, and you get to be the first person to talk to me! / Dromiceiomimus: Oh boy! You've justifies being uncouth! Who cares about the past 1000 years of evolving social graces? / T-Rex: Sarcasm! / Utahraptor: I think she's got a point, T-Rex! / T-Rex: You know, I figured you would! / Utahraptor: Too often we support something just because it's new, and forget that if an idea or process been around for a long time, that's usually - but not always, granted - because it has something to offer. / T-Rex: Oh yeah? Well, I think that maybe your MOM has something to offer! / T-Rex: How is she, by the way? / Utahraptor: Fine! / T-Rex: That's cool!
a cautionary TRUE tale about hermit crabs T-Rex: I was down at the beach last week and there were all these adorable little hermit crabs running around! They were so cute that I scooped up a bunch and brought them home! / T-Rex: They were my new pets! / T-Rex: But then after a while I got tired of my new pets so I gobbled them up! / T-Rex: Tra la la! / Utahraptor: You didn't really eat them, did you?! / T-Rex: I gobbled them up! / Utahraptor: T-Rex, they're hermit crabs! HERMIT crabs! They live in whatever vessel they can find, and if you eat them, they'll take over your body as their new home!! / T-Rex's Stomach: NO WE DIDN'T
 
web blog comix SUBJECT: hee hee hee hee / MOOD: {{sad face}} Groggy / MUSIC: Cibo Matto - Birthday Cake / T-Rex: Sry people for not updateing lately!!! / T-Rex: I haven't updated in awhile, mainly because my puter has been annoyingly slow. I need to ask my 'rents to buy me a new one! / T-Rex: neway not much is new with me.... i really need to go out more... worried i might be in a rut... / 4 COMMENTS | / POST A COMMENT / Utahraptor: *hugses* / T-Rex: *big big hugs* THANK YOU!!!!! :) / Utahraptor: Hey no problem. I actually meant it to be anonymous but I click too fast and didn't actually click the box I thought I did. Oh well. / T-Rex: I sometimes make that mistake too.
fatalism comics Narrator: FATALISM COMICS / T-Rex: Fatalism is when - ah, screw it! / T-Rex: I'm sure if you were meant to know about fatalism, you'd find out about it eventually. In any case, fatalism is the belief that future events are predetermined for the whole of time and are entirely unalterable! / Utahraptor: You just defined fatalism... despite your best efforts not to! / T-Rex: Oh my God! / T-Rex: It was FATE! I was destined to define fatalism as the belief that future events are predetermined for the whole of time, and are entirely unalterable! / Utahraptor: You just did it again!! / T-Rex: OH MY GOSH! Is this my role in life? Am I to be forever DEFINING FATALISM? / God: PROBABLY NOT / T-Rex: Looks like nope!
what if...? Narrator: WHAT IF... DINOSAURS HAD NEVER GONE EXTINCT? / T-Rex: I feel about the same. / Unidentified Interlocutor: Me too! / Narrator: "WHAT IF..." COMICS / Narrator: WHAT IF... T-REX WERE VERY VERY TINY? / T-Rex: Luckily, everything else in the universe has shrunk to the same scale! / Dromiceiomimus: Yes, from any given perspective there is no change! / T-Rex: CRAZY / Narrator: WHAT IF... THE TINY WOMAN WAS ACTUALLY A TRANSGENDERED MALE? / Utahraptor: T-Rex! Don't stomp on her! / T-Rex: good pronoun use! / Narrator: WHAT IF... T-REX HAD SUCCEEDED IN BUILDING HIS TIME MACHINE? / T-Rex: Well, I guess I'll talk to you yesterday! See you... SOONER? / Utahraptor: You keep going back one day to tell me that stupid pun, but I'm never going to laugh! / Narrator: WHAT IF... THE FANTASTIC FOUR HAD LOST THE TRIAL OF GALACTUS? / T-Rex: My comic has a slightly different ending...?!
The Man Who Died And Came Back As A Ghost T-Rex: I have written the spookiest ghost story ever! It is called, "The Man Who Died And Came Back As A Ghost". / T-Rex: It's spooky! It says so in the first sentence! / T-Rex: It says, "It was spooky night, with a ghost! The ghost was the spookiest ghost in the world, and he was so spooky that if you saw him you'd be scared, for real!" / T-Rex: The, um / T-Rex: The next paragraph is "BOO!" / Utahraptor: T-Rex, you have to make your readers feel scared! You just can't tell them they're scared. / T-Rex: Sure I can! / T-Rex: "The ghost explains that even if you were just reading about these events later, you'd still be scared. You realize with a chill that he is right." / Utahraptor: It's a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book? / T-Rex: It is now! It is if that's the format I have to use to tell my readers that they're scared! / Narrator: LATER T-REX GIVES A READING OF HIS NEW BOOK: / T-Rex: Turn to page 32 to be spooked by the spooky ghost! Turn to page 14 if you'd rather see the same ghost and be TERRIFIED!

Preston! / Narrator: BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE / T-Rex: Esquire! / Narrator: GREECE, 405 BC / T-Rex: Thanks to Rufus' excellent time-travelling telephone booth, we can travel to any time period! Thus, Ted and I are gathering some ancient history dudes so that we don't fail on our MOST BOGUS history report! / T-Rex: Whoah - historical BABES! / Narrator: FRANCE, 1802 / Utahraptor: We are in danger of flunking most heinously tomorrow, Bill! / Narrator: THE OLD WEST / Utahraptor: Party on, Bill! / T-Rex: Party on, Ted! / T-Rex and Utahraptor: WYLD STALLYNS! / T-Rex: Be excellent to each other!

Some crazy scheme, no doubt! / Dromiceiomimus: I'm selling unwanted possessions on eBay! / T-Rex: Ha ha! That's WACKY. / Utahraptor: T-Rex!! / T-Rex: Utahraptor! / T-Rex: YOU, I think, are surely my wackiest of friends! What news? / Utahraptor: The school is burning down!

Can you tell me when seven minutes have passed? / T-Rex: "Okay!" / Narrator: SEVEN MINUTES LATER: / T-Rex: Seven minutes have passed. / Utahraptor: Good! My Kraft Dinner is ready! / T-Rex: You could have timed this yourself! I guess this is kind of an unnecessary favor. / God: HA HA T-REX YOU SURE HAVE SOME CRAZY FRIENDS / T-Rex: No I don't!
you're fired, and i can talk! T-Rex: I'm going to write a great novel! It will be about one man's struggle to make a life for himself in the modern world, and it will be wonderful. He will achieve all he desires, and be at the peak of his career! / T-Rex: And then, in the last sentence, a filing cabinet says "You're fired, and I can talk!" / T-Rex: Hah hah! Best ending ever! / Dromiceiomimus: Why? / T-Rex: Didn't you hear the ending? A talking filing cabinet? "You're fired, and I can talk!"? / T-Rex: Hee hee! / Utahraptor: It seems like a really crappy ending to me! / T-Rex: No! / T-Rex: It RECONTEXTUALIZES the book. People will be like, "I thought this book was transcendental until that last sentence when the talking filing cabinet showed up!" / Utahraptor: Is it a metaphor? / T-Rex: Nope! It's just a talking filing cabinet that undermines the whole book. / T-Rex: I will call the book, "An Unexpected Ending".

I bet He'd do something lame like making all of the Universe the joke or something! / God: AW GUYS YOU GOT ME
the Perfect Haiku T-Rex:The night started cold - Too cold, and it got colder: A night for murder. / T-Rex: Alright everyone! There's no need for any more haiku: the art form has peaked! / T-Rex: This is because I've just composed the Perfect Haiku. It has intrigue, a cold night, and perhaps, a hint of gunplay? / T-Rex: truly, the best haiku ever. To Japan! / Utahraptor: You might want to hold off on that trip for a bit! / T-Rex: Huh? / Utahraptor: Like most things taken from another culture, haiku have been transformed in their assimilation. You should know that a simple 5-7-5 syllable structure does not a proper haiku make! / T-Rex: Oh I disagree! As you are clearly wr-ong, And I am quite right! / Narrator: AND IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS, "A NIGHT FOR MURDER" TAKES JAPAN BY STORM! / T-Rex: But what to do... / T-Rex: ... for a SEQUEL??
 
if there's one thing i know, it's women T-Rex: If there's one thing I know... / T-Rex: ... it's women! / T-Rex: Isn't that right, Dromiceiomimus? Wouldn't you agree that I have an uncanny understanding of the female gender? / Dromiceiomimus: I wouldn't put it that way! / T-Rex: Come now, don't be shy! / Utahraptor: I disagree with you as well, my friend! / T-Rex: But why? It's clearly TRUE. / Utahraptor: T-Rex, your relationships with women have been characterized by confusion and misunderstanding and briefness, and AWKWARDNESS, as far as I can tell! / Utahraptor: If there's one thing you know, it's not women! / T-Rex (thinking): In truth, I had only the loosest grasp on female anatomy, but I'd take that secret to my grave. / T-Rex: Nuh-uh!
from where do you hail, you attractive individual? T-Rex: I have faith in random developments of chance of a potentially divine nature. From where do you hail? / T-Rex: You attractive individual! / T-Rex: I have faith in what may appear to be miraculous occurrences, Since you entered my immediate locale, / T-Rex: You attractive individual. / Utahraptor: Where is your place of origin, youngster? By what means were you cognizant of my need for you? / Utahraptor: How were you aware of the extreme extent of my desire? How were you aware that I would offer my affections without hesitation? / T-Rex: During the previous diurnal cycle, I counted myself among the ranks of the lonely! Now you're lying in quite close proximity. / T-Rex: Engaging in intercourse!
i think we should break up: a web card I THINK WE SHOULD BREAK UP / a web card / T-Rex: Dear recipient of this comic: / T-Rex: It isn't working out! / T-Rex: Maybe it's not you, it's me! MAYBE there were many small things that added up to this relationship not working. / T-Rex: I don't know. This card isn't very personalized. / T-Rex: Come to think of it, I'd be pretty pissed if someone broke up with me like this! / Utahraptor: Yeah, this is even worse than a break-up email! You have to at least compose an email. / T-Rex: Too true! / T-Rex: I think whoever is being dumped here is better off without this person! / Utahraptor: Me too! / T-Rex: Dear recipient of this comic: You're better off without this jerk! / T-Rex: I would still like to hear about the sex, however!
the angriest dog in the world Narrator: T-REX HAS GOTTEN A NEW PET DOG: / T-Rex: I've gotten a new pet dog! / T-Rex: Hooray! / T-Rex: My last pet dog ran away because I never fed him. But THIS new dog I'm sure to feed every day! / Dromiceiomimus: That's very resp - actually, T-Rex, that's exactly as responsible as you should be. / T-Rex: I know this now! / Utahraptor: What's your new pet's name, T-Rex? / T-Rex: It's also his description! / T-Rex: I named him, "The Angriest Dog In The World". / Utahraptor: Wow! Is he really that angry? / T-Rex: He's LIVID, man! He's TENSE. Bound so tightly with tension and anger, he approaches the state of rigor mortis! / T-Rex: Good listener, though!
naked people? hot? T-Rex: naked people / T-Rex: Hot! / T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, what's your opinion on people who are naked? / Dromiceiomimus: I would think that they are hot! / T-Rex: I would be forced to agree with you my good lady!! / Utahraptor: I too would agree with you re: hot naked people, my friend! / Narrator: THE END / Narrator: POSTSCRIPT: / T-Rex: Hott!!
