There's an interview of Ryan North at Smithsonian.com.
Why dinosaurs? And while the T rex. is a natural, why two other, more obscure dinosaurs? No Triceratops?
I wish I had a better answer than “I had some dinosaur clip art lying around.”
[Best interview answer EVER. ]
Also, the Dinosaur Comics whiteboard is back in stock at TopatoCo.
Speaking of which, I had a phone conversation with my mother the other day. My mother said the book had come, and she had got up to page 49 and COULD NOT GO ON.
I was completely at a loss. I have never read Dinosaur Comics in book form. What terrible thing could have happened on page 49, such that my mother could not go on? (I had ordered my mother a copy of the Dinosaur Comics book, and had been innocently expecting to hear how much she was enjoying it...)
'I got to 'tight wet twat' and I just STOPPED,' said my mother.
I thought: Hm. That doesn't sound much like Dinosaur Comics - I don't THINK.
I cast my mind back over early episodes of DC. The webcomic has evolved over the years; I once went back and started going through strips from the beginning; had I missed No. 49?
My mother said something or other. I realised that she was not talking about Dinosaur Comics (page 49 of which is, to the best of my knowledge, blameless), but Lightning Rods. New Directions had sent her a galley. She had read it years ago and hated it; she had loyally undertaken to read it again, hoping to change her mind, and I had assumed she would hate it again.
Whereas I had confidently assumed that life in Leisure World would be brightened by Dinosaur Comics.
As, I suspect, it is.

under the net
In the belly of the beast. C'est à dire, striving for a semblance of professionalism within a profession where a culture of secrecy trumps a mere way with words. Hence, naturally, catching up on Dinosaur Comics. As one does.

Did you know?
You can read an interview of Ryan North (of Dinosaur Comics fame) by Joey Comeau on A Softer World.

hm
Things are still a bit tricky. I write posts and put them in the drafts folder. I told someone the other day that I would try to write a review and not put it in the drafts folder, but I have failed; there were larger implications. It's very bad. Still, I'm definitely catching up on Dinosaur Comics of yesteryear.
If I'm not careful I will end up just embedding the entire Dinosaur Comics oeuvre, which is not really a solution for Drafts Folder Syndrome, but anyway, Pi Approximation Day, wish I'd thought of that.
