Dinosaur Comics


This is my favorite comic of all time, and has been for about four years. Written by noted Canadian, Ryan North, it covers a wide range of subject matter that appeals to me so much that sometimes I think it is being written just for me. Common topics include language and grammar, Shakespeare, God, the future, history and Batman. The exciting thing about it is that even though the art stays the same day-to-day, the writing is so good that it bends the art to suit its purpose. That's powerful writing right there!

So yeah, go check that shit out! If you need more convincing, here are some more great examples! I wasn't going to do this, as Mr. North has been writing since 2003 and I thought that picking my favorites out from the pile would be a huge waste of time, but then I did it anyway. Oh, I almost forgot! Don't forget to hover your mouse cursor around for the secret jokes!

  2. Funny, I just introduced a friend to this comic today. He's an instant fan. It also carries Randall Munroe's stamp of approval.
