clearly sedna is just practising for the whole “long term relationship” thing for when she goes to space after her and dini get married. she’s got it all figured out.

aww, look at that girl getting involved in the democratic process at only 8 years old. isn’t that sweet?

remember kids, stalking is totally okay as long as you do it in a cute way.
pteranodon
are we sure sedna isn’t related to the girl from ‘the ring’?
once again, pteranodon is not a dinosaur. you might think that pterosaurs are essentially “dinosaur birds”, but not only are they not dinosaurs, actual birds are dinosaurs. so “dinosaur birds” are literally just birds. if anything birds are “dinosaur pterosaurs”.
also, the “pterodactl” is an incorrect name for pterosaurs and technically not a real thing. there is a genus of pterosaur called “pterodactylus” which was the first pterosaur discovered (~1784), but it was about the size of a small goose and not the giant terror of the skies you were probably imagining. pteranodon here was a proper large and scary bugger, but still not the biggest pterosaur (we’ll get to that one eventually).
mosasaurus
(i got mosasaurus and mesosaurus confused more times than i care to admit while writing this comic)
so i’m gonna be that guy and remind you that mosasaurus is not technically a dinosaur. it’s a reptile. just because something’s big and died 66 million years ago doesn’t make it a dinosaur. still, that doesn’t make it any less cool. it’s like a cross between an eel and a crocodile, and three great white sharks long.
hopefully one day in the distant future humanity will successfully bring back both the mosasaurus and the megalodon and organise the fight of the century. would it be neccessary? no. would you watch it? yes.
ankylosaurus
ankylosaurus is essentially the super-heavy tank of the dinosaur world. everyone wants to either ride one or watch it pummel a t-rex in the face with its club.
also just to confuse you a little, ankylosaurus is a genus within the family ‘ankylosauridae’ (members are called ankylosaurids), which is within the suborder ‘ankylosauria’ (members are called ankylosaurs). got all that? good. there will be a test later so don’t you dare forget it.
ankylosaurs are a diverse group of armoured dinosaurs, many of which don’t have a club on the end of their tail (e.g. nodosaurus). it just happens that our clubbed boy ankylosaurus was discovered first (in 1906), so both the family and the suborder got stuck with the name.
the time traveller
so i actually read the entirety of ‘the time machine’ as research for this coming series of comics, which ended up being mostly unnecessary but it was a good book so i can’t complain.
some might think h. g. wells was being bleak and pessimistic when he described a future earth 800,000 years from now where humanity has evolved into two degenerate races (one of which regularly eats the other), but personally i think it was optimistic of him to suggest humanity would survive for that long at all.
on the other hand, he thought the sun would go dim and cold in a few million years, but actually we have billions of years until that happens. so that’s a nice thought, i guess.
who is dini?
apparently i’m now committed to using this comic format at least once for every character. at first i thought i was being super original until i reread scott pilgrim and realised it was doing the whole “name, x years old, random description” schtick way back in 2004. :(
yuri & ako
aww, yuri thought ako had replaced her.
wait! i think i just accidentally made a cute and weird version of toy story.
who is ako?
i love drawing ako. she’s about 50 million times easier to draw than actual mars rovers (no offense percy, but you’re just so stupidly complicated).
hey, does anyone else feel an unbearable urge to go watch wall-e for some reason, or just me…?
