Being single is a lot harder with those tiny arms.

welcome them with open “tiny” arms

They’re glad to see Dad.

See the little bug by mom’s right foot…

Their tiny hands are ideal for using a cell phone. It’s too bad the tiny arms they’re attached to can’t hold the phone where they can see it.

Rex and Tyra eventually reconciled…

… for the sake of the kids.

And just in time to view the upcoming meteor shower.

Interesting that the females are light green and the males are dark green.

With the split, he lost his “r” – he’s no longer king.

And don’t let them play around the “arm pits”!

OK, that’s a good one.

Bravo, John, bravo!

I was not expecting to see my ex-wife in the comics but there she is.

He’s been desperate for a girlfriend since realizing that self-gratification is impossible.

Funny

Sorry I’m late. I was a little shorthanded at work. I mean, short armed…

So, so many things wrong with that.

He’ll have an excuse he can’t see his watch.

That “bug” is BLEEB" You must be new, everyone else knows him. “Where is Bleeb?” is a game we play every day.

Cute kids!

Prehistoric Bleeb. :)

The La Brea Tar Pits is from the age of saber-tooth lions, not tyrannosaurs.

Pretty much everything is wrong here. No hair on dinosuars (feathers, yes!), no evidence for dual parenting for them , and the critters in the tar pits are from a Whole Lot later. Still funny though!

And not to play with humans before eating them

So, there’s more than one comment about the strip not being realistic because of _____, but nobody’s complained that the dinosaurs are talking? What is this, some kind of pretend situation?! ;)

The two babies have longer arms than their parents!
