The thought of hundreds of DoA readers every night.
Yet_One_More_Idiot
Dina is overwhelmed by the feels. And so many faces.
(I nearly put an extra “e” in faces, that would’ve been…bad)
Unkind fish
I use to have the same problem. Kinda suprizes that Willis
did it right. Not because he doesn’t usually,
but because that is exactly how I fixed such a
problem.
Well, there’s TONS of pre-1990 fossil evidence of dinosaurs traveling in herds, both in migration routes and in communal breeding grounds, but Alan Grant SOMEHOW didn’t realize that! Seriously, that always bugged me. HE’S A PALEONTOLOGIST, HE ALREADY KNOWS THIS.
Viktoria
Yes, but there’s a difference between fossil evidence and seeing it yourself.
Yeah, I got that concept from the film, but it’s not like they were surprised to see that the Brachiosaurus was eating plants, or that the raptors were hatching from eggs. There are just some things that aren’t speculation, and herbivorous dinosaurs traveling in groups is one of those things. Now, if he said that about a pack of raptors, I wouldn’t have been as miffed.

I didn’t get the impression he was surprised, so much as amazed seeing how perfectly it worked out.
Or she could carry faceless masks with her. When amongst a group and experiencing too many faces, she could hand out the blank masks to everybody around her and then she wouldn’t have to see so many faces. They could all just look like blank grey masks with eye, nose and mouth holes and nothing at all to distinguish them.
Doctor_Who
It’s Dina. She would hand out dinosaur masks and it would be the best party ever.
Aren’t all chaps assless? I’m fairly certain they are.
parkrndl
HA. I had this conversation with some coworkers one drunken night not long ago.
It culminated the following week with one of said coworkers bringing real actual chaps to work and another taking a picture of me wearing them. (With non-assless pants under them, of course.)
No Name
I’ve also seen this conversation being discussed not too long ago in the comic forum. I believe we eventually agreed the term is redundant.
Deanatay
Yes, but chaps are meant to be worn with pants. The phrase ‘assless chaps’ usually refers to wearing chaps without pants.
Boom
But, wait, if assless chaps are chaps worn without anything under them, then why are they ‘assless’. Shouldn’t they be ‘assed’?

didn’t expect Dina to be the first one to undress Ethan
(other than with one’s eyes)

Dangit, of course you beat me to that.

Doctor_Who
How much do you think needs to be removed before Danny becomes the NEXT one to hit the floor?
Adam Black
Boo-yah!
Solenoid
Just the shirt.
Dean
One shoe.
modernpython
Only a single shoelace. That’s how pent up Ethans feelings are
modernpython
Oops meant Danny. Sorry.
Doctor_Who
He will steal the shoelace and incorporate it into the statue of Ethan made out of gum in his closet.
David
That’s not gum. While you are on the right track, it is not hardened secretions from a rubber tree we are talking about here.
Karen Lynn
Would they be hardened secretions from a flesh tree, then?
Gigafreak
So basically “gum” is one letter off, then.
Booyahman
It’s things like this that remind me why I read the comments.

She’s overwhelmed because she’s realizing that people travel in herds. They DO travel in herds.
Nono
A herd of nerds?
Stephen Bierce
Revenge of the Herd
Plasma Mongoose
Nerd herders!
otusasio451
Are they scruffy looking?
Plasma Mongoose
But of cause!
Stephen Bierce
‘Cause when the going gets Scruff…
otusasio451
The scruff gets growing.
No Name
Okay, Plasma, I have to ask, why do you say “cause” instead of “course”? Is it dialect? A personal quirk? A surprisingly consistent typo?
Scribbles
‘Cause = short for “because.” “Because when the going gets tough, the tough get GOING.” Course wouldn’t make sense in that sentence.
Severing
If you ever see this Scribbles, No Name was referring to Plasma saying “of cause” rather than “of course”, not Stephen’s reply to that comment.
Ghostforge
which you can mainly find assisting you at your local Buy More retailer
otusasio451
Huh. A Chuck reference. Not something you see very often.
Bill
But is it like herding cats?

That was brilliant.
Tommy Fresh
They’re herding this way!

Then, a couple strips later, after a twist ending:
LOOK AT THE BLOOD.
Cholma
Billie: Uh, which side of the party room are you planning to stay on?
Dina: Amber said I should party with you ’cause it’d be good for you.
Rebecca
I feel like Dina’s gotten trapped in enough people-herds in the past few weeks that she should already know that….

Gamaran Sepudomyn
Dinosaurs travel in flocks, not in herds.
shadowcell
it’s just as well, the other alternative when there are too many faces is what we call the optimus prime solution
Doctor_Who
Maybe she would get along with Vos once he took his face off.
It could happen. The DJD getting along surprisingly well with tiny adorable females is canon.
Yet_One_More_Idiot
Or she could carry faceless masks with her. When amongst a group and experiencing too many faces, she could hand out the blank masks to everybody around her and then she wouldn’t have to see so many faces.

Nono
Wait, how does the logistics of that work? She de-hoodied him without him bending his head to get it through the neckhole?
Viktoria
Texas gay dudes have assless chaps, maybe Indiana ones have backless hoodies?
Captain Batson
Aren’t all chaps assless? I’m fairly certain they are.

Well the TX Lege is chapless asses, so I guess that makes for a kind of symmetry.
Plasma Mongoose
Stripper jacket perhaps?
brumagem
That is the magic of gutters (the gap between panels). However your mind can fill in the blanks, that’s how it happened.
Doctor_Who
I’m good at that. My mind is always in the gutter.
MM
It is a little-known velociraptor skill. Largely because they didn’t have jackets.
Someone
Actually they did, unfortunately their Jackets degraded over millions of years and now are completely gone.
Rycan
I am now imagining a gang of velociraptors in black leather jackets on the prowl.
Dean
Bunch of velociraptors in letter jackets, harassing a velociraptor nerd by the lockers.
Rich
Who grows up to master crystal technology and fights a robot, no doubt.
Roborat
And attacking another gang by aggressively singing show tunes.
Rich
The other gang being composed of megaladons, I assume?
JessWitt
It’s best not to question the phenomenon that is Dina.
Cephalo the Pod
Maybe it has a zipper?
Rich
It does. Page back to where he and Danny were walking over to the party and you can see it’s zipped.
vlademir1
Considering the look on his face, Ethan may be asking himself that as well.
Kennerly
Dina has been absorbing Amber’s Amazigirl powers by being in close proximity to her.
Kryss LaBryn
Oh, hockey players manage it all the time. You grab it by the back hem and over the head she goes!
–Maybe Dina’s secretly Canadian? 😀
Opus the Poet
I’m sure Ruth would know that…
