I mentioned that 6 would have a cameo, and when I was talking to him, he SPECIFICALLY asked to be killing a Tau Fire Warrior
and then to turn to the 4th wall, saying "Hi mom"
Im not joking.

oh and yes. I am the dinosaur.
But dinosaur is a little derogatory, considering scientific evidence shows that dinosaurs are more related to birds than lizards.

Only some of them, like the Velociraptor, most were giant lizards. In fact, if memory serves, one of them was named King Lizard or somesuch.

Actually, if memory serves me, the majority of dinosaur species werent that big. More like chickens or emus.
besides, the bone structure is said to be very bird like.

You get +6 internet points for having prepared the comics in advance.

Also, that isn't LordVader, is it?

I think you're confused with 'Terrifying lizard', which is what dinosaur means.

I was probably thinking of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which translates as "Tyrant Lizard King"

good thing that T-Rex is a scavenger, and not a killer...yeah, he eats stinky corpses that died of diseases/other things/old age.

Most of the basis for the scavenger theory is his short arms. I personally think it's rather obvious that the arms devolved from lack of use as it's usage of the jaw increased, producing something with short arms and massive jaws.

Now, let's not turn this into A&C's national paleolithic
On with the randomisation!

Nice comic Randomizer ! (i say this in advance, cause I will probably be offline when you will post it...)

Also, small arms due to not using them...now there is a good one for the HoH...or fanservice...

The T-Rex legs were discovered to be built for speed. So why would a scavenger need to really run? And why would it need such a large jaw?

And by the way,
Comic 8 done. Check it out.
And my brother wants to make a guest comic. *coughnoskillscough*

Actually, part of the Scavenger Theory is in the legs. They're quite thick--and therefore some believe very heavy. Combine that with the rest of the Rex's thick, large bones, and the average theorized density of the things wouldn't allow for fast movement.

Then some other found that those same huge, thick bones were filled with air-pockets, like birds. This would reduce the weight and allow the damn thing to move much quicker. Like a half empty soda can.

They're still fighting 'bout that one, though, and the above is just a small part. There's also the way the eyes are positioned, the size of the part of the brain controlling olfactory senses, leg muscles, the possibility of the Rex being a pack animal....

Parts of the debate are quite interesting. Other parts, like one documentary I watched that tried to ram "The Rex was a Scavenger! No doubts about it!" down your throat because "It has thick bones! I must have walked like an elephant!" (no, really, they declared that the best way to see how the Rex walked was via watching elephants)....

Damn. I'm helping to derail a thread. Please ignore the idiot in the jar!

Changing the subject, I look forward to seeing how this comic pans out, Randy.
