On the couch ...
Sack: Hey Dumb-Dumb, whatcha drawin?
James: I’m sick of people making fun of the T-Rex for having tiny arms when he could have easily used his tail for everyday things like taxes or brushing his teeth.

Johnny's Rant

I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was a kid, but then again, isn't every kid? My two favourites were the Tyrannosaurus and the Ankylosaurus (that spikey little dude with the club for a tail really knows how to party). I imagine those two as college roommate bros. T-Rex can't crush beer cans on his face because of his arm troubles, but don't feel bad because it probably got him a free ride scholarship to College.

People always make tiny arm jokes about the T-Rex, and it seems kind of lazy, which is why I decided to put a new spin on it. The Tyrannosaurus is already so formidable as a predator, imagine he had a prehensile tail like a monkey on top of that? Geez, might as well give him a Marty McFly hover board and laser-vision while I'm at it.

Also, if you're wondering why todays strip looks a little weird, I didn't pencil it before inking, and I converted my digital sketches to vector to try and make them look smoother. I don't like it. I will definitely be going back to my old method for next time.

Anyway, I've been up all night and I'm hungry. Time for some #JurassicPork.
