Your Whole Family is Made Out of Meat

The Best of Dinosaur Comics, 2003-2005 A.D.

2005

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.

Dudes already know about chickens.

2010

Book Info: This book contains all Dinosaur Comics from 2006. 256 pages. _"Finally, a Dinosaur Comics book, unabridged and in full colour, AND with all three secret texts for each comic included! And it's so pretty, you guys. So pretty. Featuring an introduction by Randall Munroe of XKCD and an all-new index written by Ryan that includes, among other things, the 11 different types of makeouts referenced by T-Rex, this book is great. It gets greater: there's also an interview with the author AND a photo of Michael "Worf" Dorn. You know that you've always wanted these extras collected in one book, maybe with hundreds of Dinosaur Comics in the book too. THAT DREAM HAS NOW COME TRUE, and it's called "Dinosaur Comics: Dudes Already Know About Chickens"._

Everybody knows failure is just success rounded down.

2011

Book Info: This book contains all Dinosaur Comics from 2007. 256 pages, color. _"Holy smokes, a Dinosaur Comics book, unabridged and in full colour, AND with all three secret texts for each comic included! And it is the most gorgeous ever in time. I guess things are looking up after all! Featuring a choose-your-own-introduction by Andrew Hussie of MS Paint Adventures and two new indices written by me, Ryan: one where I did an Actual Scientific N-Gram Analysis of the comic and another more practical one that includes, among other things, the two different types of phones referenced by T-Rex (ie: "homographic autantonymic homo-"), this book might just be the very thing you need to put in your house to make it... the raddest? It's even got special guest comics by Chris "Dr. McNinja" Hastings, Aaron "Dresden Codak" Diaz and Rebecca "House of Sugar" Kraatz! Look, it's always dangerous to personify books, but "Dinosaur Comics: Everybody Knows Failure is Just Success Rounded Down" wants to be in your life. I know it._

Feelings are boring, kissing is awesome.

2012

Book Info: This book contains all Dinosaur Comics from 2008. 9" x 7", color, 268 pages. _"Aw geez, that isn't a Dinosaur Comics book, unabridged and in full colour, AND with all three secret texts for each comic included, is it? It is! SO AWESOME. "This book features an introduction BY MY HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER, MS. JANET COVER. Yes. We even met for lunch when I asked her to write it. It was really really nice. "I also wrote an index for it that includes, among other things, all the Mega-Man relationship analogies included in the book (there is this many: one. But it's a good one!). It's even got special guest Dinosaur Comics done Kate "Hark! A Vagrant" Beaton, Anthony "Nedroid" Clark, John "Pictures for Sad Children" Campbell, Randall "XKCD" Munroe and David "Wondermark" Malki! WHOAH. Also there's an illustration of me flexing where you can see my pancake tattoos. It's the best book ever, except if you include the previous two books, in which case they're are each and all TIED FOR FIRST. "tl;dr: If you only buy one book today, I think PROBABLY you should make it this one."_ \—Ryan
