Talk:Dinosaur Comics

message: This discussion page is a good page I think to talk about Dinosaur Sex! Holy crap yes! Edit wars add to the unhappiness in the world and that makes me sad. --BreathingMeat 10:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I (obviously) am in favor of both dinosaur sex and sexy dinosaurs. It's the very blunt and hilarious punchline of the referenced joke. There's no reason to say 'they had a physical relationship in the past' when you can, directly referencing the strip in question, just say 'they had dinosaur sex'. Cos they did. Have dinosaur sex. --204.69.40.7 13:31, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be more correct to say that it is T-Rex's stated perception that they had had dinosaur sex! Dromiceiomius has been less than forthcoming with confirmation on this sexy claim. --BreathingMeat 20:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would also like to see our debate settled :)  I am not a fan of using "dinosaur sex" in the article because it seems to suggest that it's a term used commonly in society, which it definitely isn't.  However, I would be willing to include it if the words are placed within quotation marks.  I agree with BreathingMeat that it would be appropriate to qualify the statement by saying that it's from T-Rex' claims (since we all know that it wouldn't be out of character for T-Rex to exaggerate his stories :D). How about: T-Rex once claimed that they have engaged in "dinosaur sex". --Transverse 21:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a great fan of the term dinosaur sex, however I feel that the above is an acceptable compromise. Though I tend to believe T-Rex's claim given that Utahraptor appears to give it some degree of credence, and Utahraptor is generally a fairly level headed guy. --24.62.27.66 02:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we're missing the point. A red Wikipedia link to Dinosaur Sex is really funny! Oh alright, I see you all looking stern at me. Fine. Have it your way. --BreathingMeat 03:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dinosaur sex 

message: The article says characters are referred to by their genus names, but this is only true 2/3 of the time. T-Rex is referred to by his genus initial ("T" for "Tyrannosaurus") and his species name "Rex." It seems like the article should be adjusted to be more accurate about this, but I don't know of a particularly succinct way to make this distinction apparent to the reader.

thread_title:  Character names 

message: I know a hell-o-a-lot o dinosaurs and in reality -- as might be expected -- they all have cool ancient accents. Well, then how come they talk all normal in the strips? Excluding this discussion entry, nowhere is this peculiar omission mentioned!!! I wonder why...

:Well, they have to be translated from Ancient Dinosaur; what do you expect but to find them rendered colloquially? North is of the contemporary rendering school of translation, it would seem. --Gwern  (contribs) 17:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Bogus article, blatant bias

message: Made some minor changes to give people a better feel for the strip. Changed a coupla things - you know the drill. I think it's funny that the talk section for this article is so long.203.131.167.26 11:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Every Topic in the world blablabla
Perhaps a section about the above stated site should be included, seeing as it is the direct result of the comic (referenced already in the article)? If not a section, at least a reference. The freddinator 01:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Y'know, the comic is okay. Funny once in a while. But I'm getting tired of having to constantly revert Evil because of this comic. I hope some of the editors watching this article will help revert that vandalism when it pops up over there. -- Kesh 04:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Guys, we should mention and link some of Ryan's Dinosaur Comics spinoffs, such as The Amazing Regret Index and Machine of Death! Also, I feel compelled to write like Ryan? --Kento 07:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Because the comic is shifting webhosts, I don't think that today is a very good day for adding links to pages on Ryan's site. BreathingMeat 01:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: You guys, can someone explain to me why Dinosaur Comics has made me find question marks so hilarious? Seriously, I use them all the time--for humorous purposes? Look, like right there. Seriously, please explain this phenomenon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.158.58 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: I agree. But I don't think that my friends appreciate the humor. Maybe I'm just smarter than them? But to keep this thread on topic, is there any way to incorporate North's creative use of question marks and capitalization into this article? (I'm taking a gamble by not reading this article. I read it before, just not recently) The freddinator 21:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question Marks 

message: OK, so I was reading the comic at http://www.qwantz.com/archive/000103.html and T-Rex implies that Utahraptor is "into dudes" (gay), and that made me wonder if Utahraptor is gay? Or bisexual? Or does it even matter or is the continuity even kept up to that degree or what? I seem to remember something about something going on with T-Rex and Utahraptor, but of course there's always stuff happening with T-Rex and Dromiceiomimus, so I don't know. Either way, something about this should probably be added to the article. Whatever... -Platypus Man | Talk 18:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  parodies/homages 

message: This article is in need of serious editing, but one especially important thing is to add a section on the comic's themes and style.  I will start working on that soon, but I'm just mentioning it here in case anyone else wants to get started on it, too.
Also, the sections on Easter Eggs, Japan English class, and April Fool's joke all need to be integrated into other parts of the article, as 1) some are not really notable enough to warrant having their own sections (especially the April Fool's sections); and 2) it's just plain ugly to have lots of very short sections rather than a few well-organized heirarchical sections.
--Politizer (talk) 02:29, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For clarification...  the Easter Eggs section should go under a Format subsection (once this part is written...Format and/or Style, and Themes, should all be under one section...for example, a large section called Style, with subsections Format and Themes) along with information on the production of the comic, how it comes from clip art, etc.   As for the Japan English class and April Fool's joke sections, I can't think of anything to do with those other than put them under some sort of Miscellaneous section--I know those are frowned upon in general.  If they can't be fit into any better section soon, they will have to be deleted.  --Politizer (talk) 02:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
