Loading... The Best of Dinosaur Comics: 2003-2005 A.D.by Ryan North
Diminishing returns, a little bit--at first it's the funniest thing you've ever seen, later you get the formula--slap desultorily serious exploration of philosophical concept du jour undermined comically by dudely dinosaur diction up against the same six panels every day--but the concepts are still catchy, the diction is still a delight, there is still a lot of forward awesome, and I like that those people will be almost getting stepped on forever. (  ) MeditationesMartini | Sep 29, 2010 |  I read Dinosaur Comics every day through my feed on LiveJournal but I wanted to give Ryan some love (read: money) for making me laugh so many times for free. I find Dinosaur Comics gets funnier the more you read - at first you don't realize just how amazing it is that the frames are always the same and only the dialogue changes. As you keep reading, Ryan's brilliance really breaks through. (  ) twilightlost | May 1, 2008 | A good weapon against an apocalyptic future where the internet implodes but I still really really need to read Dinosaur Comics (which, come on, I totally *would*). This collection is totally fucking awesome, as Dinosaur Comics so often is. Redundant to what's on the web of course, which, if you somehow have never managed to experience, is all archived here: http://www.qwantz.com/archive.pl . I'm glad to have at least some of it in hard copy, though. No one expects the internet-imploding apocalypse! 1  trinityofone | Apr 2, 2007 |
 This strip is so improbable, so unconventional -- and so wonderful.
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0756005183, Paperback)Dinosaur Comics is an intelligent, thoughtful and hilarious daily comic which creatively uses the same six panel format for each installment. The daily comic first appeared on-line at www.qwantz.com and now boasts over 300,000 unique readers each month. Fans "click in" to see the philosophical thoughts, rants and misgivings of T-rex, the neurotic main character played by, well, a house-stopming-0apparently-college-educated Tyrannasaurus Rex. He carries on regular dialog with Utahraptor and Dromiceiomimus while God and the Devil make regular off-screen cameos.(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:44:26 -0500) No library descriptions found. |
