Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 01, 2022

ain’t paleontology wonderful?

There really isn’t any evidence about coloration.

I have to agree with Alice. Fuzzy pink dinosaurs would be pretty cool.

They went HOMPK! HOMPK!

The good news is that Tyrannosaurus Rex was not fuzzy. For the same reason that elephants are not.

Dinosaurs are now woke, too?

In my zoology college class the textbook was trying to place birds as reptiles. Which my teacher pointed out is not a popular classification which many ornithologists disagree with, but being a herpotologist he didn’t care. Personally I felt like Calvin had strolled up to the front of my class declaring “Bats are Bugs!” And everyone just nodded saying now that makes sense.

Ever since they announced that brontosauruses were really diplodocuses, I’ve held a grudge against the paleontologist community.

Who draws this?

So dinosaurs are becoming Dr. Seuss-ified? Makes sense. I don’t see Petey as a Dr. Seuss fan. Alice, on the other hand, is practically a Dr. Seuss character.

Petey-ontology

Looks as though the Alice Saurus is more open-minded about advances in palaeontology than the Peteydon is.

Alas, My Hero!

Were any big red birds with fuzzy pink feet?

And who remembers the Thagomizer?
