At least Parasaurolophus looks like it could be another LOL critter. But I've always had trouble with names like those. I prefer names like, Cat, and Dog. Yeah, those are nice. :)

Food sounds good! Man, I just ate too.

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

Obviously the dinosaurs are different, but the pose is similar.

And you all know way too much about dinosaurs. ;)

I knew those dinosaurs immediately, but only because they're in Animal Crossing City Folk.

I don't know if that's sad or not.

You don't even know even know what a dimetrodon is? SHAME!
Also, Iguanodon's are easy to remember because they're cool and like to stick their thumbs up (or at least out).

Free (pseudo)dinosaurs are pretty great, but I guess you get what you pay for in the accuracy department.

You mean... Dimetrodons AREN'T dinosaurs? So my favorite dinosaur as a kid was a lie? Further proof my childhood was lame.

Dimetrodons are apparently one of the earliest link to the evolution of mammals. Mostly because the way their teeth are arranged is getting closer to mammals.

Parasaurolophus is my favorite! And although I remember Dimetrodons aren't really dinosaurs, I think Parasarolophus are. Wikipedia agrees! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasaurolophus

Did you guys know that brontosaurus(es?) are actually another name for an Apatosaur? Some guy thought they were a different species, and that's kind of persisted to this day. Kind of like how they though Iguanodons walked on four legs and all that jazz. It is very serious business.

Even if he's right. . . Dimetrodon is still my favorite.

Why was there a bucket of free dinosaurs and why aren't there any where I am.

..;__;

Is that Louie? MR. LOUIE? PIE IS I? OMG. /fangasms

And the two of you are adorable with your dinosaur fixation.

At least you'll always have the theasaurus.

Because while he might be right about the dimetrodon, that's definitely a ParasauroLOLphus.

HEYOOOOOOO.

I think Yuko has managed to out-fret Gonta?

Oh man, I can't believe I already knew each of those dino facts... AND I had a (bipedal) Spinosaurus toy. Not to mention Parasaurolophus is my favorite dino (yeah suck it, Velociraptors!).

As soon as I read the second panel, I thought "No that's a . . . "

Also, I like to imagine that Aaron came running from miles away, having felt a dino-disturbance in the force. It was as if a million voices cried out in terror . . . and then were suddenly silenced.

One day I decided to take a break from prep work and wander around the museum upstairs, something I've done a million times. I stopped to look at my favorite display (A Moasaur skull I call Moe) when a little boy walked up with his mother and pointing said to his mother "look mom a lizard." To which the mother replied "no hunny, dinosaurs weren't lizards remember?"
For those that don't know Moasaurs were reptiles, not dinosaurs...Now I don't know if the boy was intentionally right or not, but that mother needs to read the display card before correcting her son.

Dude, I'm a dinosaur nerd too, but I don't act like an ass when someone gets things wrong.

I've always mispronounced it as ParasauROFLus, I see no reason to stop now.

If you leave Portland without going to Voodoo Doughnuts, you will regret it for the rest of your life. *

* Disclaimer: any depression due to lack of Voodoo Doughnuts elsewhere in the world is not my fault.

Hmm....clearly I have not kept up on my dinosaurs. Twenty years ago, when I was a kid, a Brontosaurus was still a Brontosaurus. I think the change to Apatosaur came right about the time I stopped paying so much attention to them.

However, my FIRST thought was exactly the same as szark. You should have looked at Aaron and said "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" :) Not only a fitting quote, but even fitting in context!

i know how Yuko feels. i'm still traumatized after being called out for being wrong while watching Jurassic Park 3 with some friends. I was quiet for the rest of the movie.

Where are you that there's a bucket of free dinosaurs/non-dinos?

I've always been a fan of Dresden Codak, but Aaron definitely got some +awesome points for knowing his dinosaurs.

Then some +jerk points for making Yuko fret.

Anyway, You guys should find two carnivores and then attack Aaron with them. That'd be a proper revenge, methinks (and then I could get back to liking D.C. without feeling guilty about it ;D).

In an unrelated note, do you hand-write all of the text in the comic? Also you write "a" and "g" like I do (if it is indeed handwritten), so that's awesome.

Ananth, did you ever watch the Dino-Riders cartoon of the 80's?

It was the reason I became a dinosaur fanatic as a kid, which still carries on to this day, but perhaps not as extensively. They should make a Dino-Riders movie!

portland where?

I'm from Portland... where's the bucket of free dinosaurs?

I agree with a guy from Portland. Voodoo doughnuts is definitely a place to visit (SW 3rd and Burnside, I believe?). SE Hawthorne Street around 37th has a lot of unique shops, and so do NW 21st and NW 23rd (which has Papa Haydn's - they have great deserts, and Urban Fondue, great fondue)... Powell's City of Books is huuuuuge (takes up a whole city block... can't miss it on NW Burnside). I recommend dining on the Portland Spirit, a nice boat trip up the Willamette River, and you get to see all the lights at night...

There's too many places to list...

Parasaurolophus...es... are my favorite.

I always love when two comics (or comic artists, for this matter) cross over into the same situation. Especially surprising to see Aaron Diaz here, as he almost never appears in photo nor accurate drawn form. Not to mention, Meredith Gran and Louie.

This page was a fangasm waiting to happen.

I love how, even as Yuko is being traumatized, George has that huge grin on his face!

I wish that there were cartons of free dinosaurs in my town.

I love the girl in the back's expression regarding George's eternal smile.

Don't forget the best dinosaur ever discovered (by Aaron):

CHOMPADOOOON!

I love dinosaurs! <3 You're so lucky, I'd kill for some tiny plastic prehistoric friends. Course if I saw the bucket I'd probably run away with it. Ignoring the cries of small children.
