Advantages to Being Old: a comic written by someone who is SO COMMITTED to growing old that if he doesn't do it he'll DIE

qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: Many people fear aging, but they forget that in some ways it actually rules! And thus, I am here to present...

Narrator: ADVANTAGES TO BEING OLD

T-Rex: FIRST OFF: memory loss! Whomst among us hasn't laid in bed in the small hours of the morning, staring at the ceiling while reliving all of our greatest mistakes and most embarrassing blunders? Well, GUESS WHAT??
T-Rex: When you're sufficiently old you won't remember them anymore! The sweetest dreams are those made in the bliss of ignorance!

Utahraptor: Won't I also forget my loved ones?
T-Rex: Sure. Absolutely, yes.

T-Rex: But ALSO your hated ones: they too will fade into the mists of time! YES: forgetting everything save for your vague sense that you've lost something precious and irreplaceable feels bad, but that's why it's so important to convince yourself NOW that forgetting all the duds you've ever known is GOOD, actually!!

Off panel: You promised ADVANTAGES to being old, plural, yet offered only a single and extremely suspect one.
T-Rex: Yes. Perhaps you are frustrated? Annoyed?
T-Rex: Just think of how good it'll feel to forget this conversation when you're OLD!

sherlock we need you to invent a universal language!! and NO you don't get to say "mathematics is a universal language" because how do you say "i'm horny" in math?? you CAN'T, don't even TRY

qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, scowled. He'd detected something astounding...

T-Rex: ...LIFE on other worlds!!

T-Rex: Yes, Sherlock had detected CANALS on MARS, and knew that if the Martians had canals they probably also had CRIMES, and therefore would likely have use of his services! But how could a detective from his era of horses and steam communicate with another world?
Dromiceiomimus: Oh, I know this one: huge Earth canals shaped like letters, filled with oil and lit on fire, right?

Utahraptor: Yeah, it was a proposal at the time - assume that Martians have telescopes too, so we build fiery canals to communicate!

T-Rex: Wait, are we assuming the Martians speak ENGLISH??
Utahraptor: I don't know man, ask Sherlock! Have Sherlock Holmes come up with a universal language for communicating with alien life, because I'm sure that'd be useful to a whole bunch of people!

T-Rex: Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, smiled. He just realized there WASN'T life on Mars after all, and so he could go back to solving crimes in his local area of Victorian England instead!
Off panel: Boooooo

the image of the earth is off-screen. and big. real pretty. honestly it's a shame you can't see it

qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: Ah yes - time for me to walk in a big loop, returning home with nothing to show for it...

T-Rex: ...despite hours and hours of effort??

Dromiceiomimus: Ah, hiking. You're talking about hiking, right, perhaps the exemplar for "it's the journey not the destination"?
T-Rex: Indeed I am, Dromiceiomimus!
Dromiceiomimus: And don't you value, I don't know - escaping into the woods and looking at trees?

T-Rex: A proper image search can show me orders of magnitude more trees than can be seen on ANY hike!!
Utahraptor: Yes, but -

T-Rex: I'm serious, I can look at a photo of a forest and see more trees than I'd see on ANY hike. Heck, I can look at a photo of both sides of Earth and TECHNICALLY be looking at EVERY TREE in the KNOWN UNIVERSE! In fact, I'm going to do that right now!!

Narrator: SHORTLY:
T-Rex: FRIG, it's too low-resolution to see any trees!
Off panel: So hey, you wanna spend a pleasant afternoon walking in the woods with friends instead?
T-Rex: Eugh

T-Rex: Attention, single ladies! Good news: I'm AVAILABLE for DATING that can lead to both SMOOCHING and to DEEP HAPPINESS!

T-Rex: "Can", not necessarily "will", but it's worth a shot!!

Dromiceiomimus: These days anyone can see thousands of singles in our area looking for love. What do YOU offer than nobody else does?
T-Rex: I'm handsome!
Dromiceiomimus: Lots of people are!
T-Rex: I'm funny!
Dromiceiomimus: Lots of people are!
T-Rex: DANG. Dating IS hard!

Utahraptor: You just need to make yourself unique!
T-Rex: Oh heck, is that all?

T-Rex: DONE, easy. I'm now the ONLY guy in town who doesn't use lexicalized contractions. You know, the ones that are so normalized we've forgotten what they ACTUALLY stand for.
Utahraptor: Really?
T-Rex: YES! As of now, as of nine of the clock this morning!

Narrator: AND THUS:
T-Rex: Ladies, I have some pumpkins at my place! Hang out with ME tonight and we can carve Jacks of the lantern!!
Off panel: Oh right, that's what "jack o'lantern" stands for.

Creepy voice(s): HELLO, T-REX.
T-Rex: Oh no, my sinister raccoon and cephalopod neighbours?! I'm not turning around to see if it's really you!

T-Rex: Because I'm a busy guy, NOT because you've been wildly terrifying me for years!

Narrator: LATER:
T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, are they still behind me?
Dromiceiomimus: Who?
T-Rex: Oh phew. PHEW. I was being followed by creepy raccoons and beaked octopods, but I guess they got tired and went home.
Dromiceiomimus: Oh, THOSE guys? Yeah, they're still behind you.

T-Rex: AHHHHHHH!
Utahraptor: What? WHAT??

T-Rex: UTAHRAPTOR, ARE THERE LAND-OCTOS AND RACCOONS BEHIND ME??
Utahraptor: No, nothing's behind you. Dromiceiomimus was just playing with you.
T-Rex: Oh good. I swear, if they were still there, I'd freeze in place and be unable to move for a full day out of PURE TERROR.

Creepy voice(s): T-REX - IS THAT A PROMISE?

fixing this is going to require some... re-training

qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: The emergency brake on this train says "FINE FOR MISUSE" so I guess it's okay if you want to mess with it!

[[blank]]

Utahraptor: Oh my GOD, T-Rex, I hate how long it took me to get that.
T-Rex: Huh?

Utahraptor: "Fine for misuse"! It took a bit to realize you're intentionally reading "fine" in the "acceptable" sense. For jokes!
T-Rex: Wait, what other sense does it have?
Utahraptor: The penalty sense? The sense where if you misuse it, they track you down and it costs you money?

i've heard of a "critical failure", but this is ridiculous

qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: Our lives are finite, and one day they will end - possibly suddenly AND by surprise!
T-Rex: Whoops!

T-Rex: Really sorry if you're just hearing this now for the first time!!

T-Rex: Anyway, that's Fact One. Fact Two is that there are more movies than we can watch in a lifetime, more games than we can ever play in a lifetime, more books than we can read in a DOZEN lifetimes. EVERY SINGLE TIME we choose to enjoy one instance of art, we're shutting out dozens, hundreds more - media that we will NEVER ENJOY!

T-Rex: The clock's ticking, babies! Hope you choose well, because there's no second chances!
Utahraptor: Sure, T-Rex!

Utahraptor: But that's what CRITICS are for: they spend THEIR finite lives reviewing TONS and TONS of material, so that WE can spend more of OUR finite lives on the good stuff! The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days, but in this case, it DEFINITELY applies to critics.
T-Rex: Damn. So true!

Narrator: PS: DON'T FORGET TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT DINOSAUR COMICS AND HOW YOU THINK IT'S SUPER COOL AND GREAT! BUT IF YOU THINK IT'S BAD, THEN UH, I GUESS IGNORE THIS PRO-CRITICS COMIC AND JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE YOUR OPINIONS EVER AGAIN
Narrator: IT'LL BE FINE, I PROMISE

Devil: MMM GREETINGS T-REX
T-Rex: The Devil!
Devil: INDEED

Devil: AND I COME TO YOU WITH A PROPOSAL

Devil: I BELIEVE WE SHOULD MAKE REAL LIFE MORE LIKE VIDEO GAMES
T-Rex: Love it! I can't wait to eat a whole roast chicken that I find just sitting inside a wall, or in a trash can, and it restores my health. I say this with absolute sincerity: I truly look forward to all my health care needs being met by eating big ol' chickens.

Utahraptor: Life's gonna be more like video games from now on?
T-Rex: It sure will!!

Utahraptor: Oh thank goodness. Thank goodness. I, in contrast, truly look forward to leaving my house on day and the sun coming alive and swooping down and trying to kill me. It was a perfect plot twist in Mario 3, and it will be a perfect plot twist in real life too.
Utahraptor: Can't wait.

Off panel: Plus, when we die, we'll get to play our whole lives over again! Only our younger siblings might be playing as us, because Mom says its their turn now.

Dromiceiomimus: Holy smokes, what was it doing?
T-Rex: WALKING!
Dromiceiomimus: Whoah!
T-Rex: And then, TROTTING!
Dromiceiomimus: Whoahhhhhh

Utahraptor: Thank you, T-Rex and Dromiceiomimus, for demonstrating what it's like to see a horse.
T-Rex: No problem!

T-Rex: Now folks, Dromiceiomimus and I were just PRETENDING to have seen a horse, but I'll tell you: it FELT real. This is the power of even IMAGINING seeing a horse walking, then trotting, and - OH DANG, I'm doing it again right now!!

T-Rex: I have grown a vegetable. Is it a good vegetable? No.
T-Rex: But!

T-Rex: It is a LARGE vegetable!

Dromiceiomimus: So I guess now you're entering one of those county fairs for large vegetables?
T-Rex: I guess? What else do you do with a large veggie? It won't taste good. It's too big; its insides are certainly nasty.
Dromiceiomimus: Quick, to the county fair!!

Narrator: AFTER THE JUDGING:
T-Rex: SEVENTH PLACE?!
Utahraptor: That's not bad, buddy!

T-Rex: Sure, but it's not GREAT! I thought I had a big vegetable but six other people's vegetables were WAY bigger.
Utahraptor: They were TRYING to grow loomsters! You did it by ACCIDENT.
T-Rex: The lesson? Someone's always better at EVERYTHING, and all I can do is be content with my best!

Narrator: THIS REALIZATION CAUSES T-REX TO ACHIEVE... ENLIGHTENMENT!!
T-Rex: AW FRIG!!
T-Rex: Being enlightened RULES; beats me why other dudes don't do it! They must SUCK!

the case was called "Murder... a la Mode" and I DO NOT APOLOGIZE

qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, faced neither his hardest nor his easiest case yet, but instead...

T-Rex: ...he faced his MEDIANEST case yet!

T-Rex: Yes, this case was precisely in the middle of Sherlock's case hardness rankings. It was precisely as far from his easiest case as it was from his hardest case, making it challenging, but - c'mon, not very. Sherlock Holmes could do the hardest cases in one novel's length so this case was a short story AT BEST.

Utahraptor: What was the case?
T-Rex: It hardly matters!

T-Rex: There was a secret society, a murder, a bullet with Sherlock's name literally on it, but he had this figured out before luncheon. The most interesting part was at luncheon, actually, when he bragged about having figured the case out slightly before said luncheon.

T-Rex: Like the case itself, the thrills were median, the chills were median, and the shocking reveals -
Off panel: Median?
T-Rex: No, average! A subtle but distinct difference, as Sherlock explained at length!!

T-Rex: You can now turn a boss into a girlboss!

T-Rex: Plus, you can now turn a party into a girlparty, a car into a girlcar, and a secondary cancer lab report into a girlsecondarycancerlabreport.
Dromiceiomimus: I'm not actually sure that you can.
T-Rex: I am very girlsure that I just girldid!

Utahraptor: Sounds like you're turning English into German.

Dromiceiomimus: Oh T-Rex, I'm so pleased! Congratulations! You must be so happy!
T-Rex: Thank you! It means a lot, Dromiceiomimus. And I am! I'm VERY happy.

Utahraptor: Let me add my congrats to the pile, T-Rex! Well done. Proud to be your friend, bud.
T-Rex: Thanks, friend!

T-Rex: Yes, things certainly changed for the better when we realized that being able to spend the whole weekend playing video games REQUIRES a life that's SUPER pulled together - and thus is really a CELEBRATION of success rather than anything lazy or wasteful!
Utahraptor: And how!

T-Rex: Of course, if even ONE slacker ever played video games instead of doing the things that REALLY needed doing in their life, that would RUIN this conception.

just casually tossing out "vampires but for other bodily fluids" like it won't revolutionize at least three distinct genres

www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: It's time for...

Narrator: THREE STORIES THAT ALWAYS WORK

T-Rex: Story one: a character who up to this point has been very serious and lives in a very serious universe wakes up and discovers that they have been shrunk down to Tiny size and needs to alert everyone that they are now Tiny, but nobody can hear him, and when they do they hear him in a really adorable high-pitched voice.
Dromiceiomimus: Perfect story, everyone loves it.

Utahraptor: Story two: enemies to lovers to activist investors to nodding acquaintances to lovers again.
T-Rex: Tale as old as time!

T-Rex: Story three: werewolves but with other animals, vampires but with other bodily fluids, ghosts but with other species, and Frankensteins but with dogs.
Utahraptor: I would love a Frankenstein dog!
T-Rex: EVERYONE WOULD!

T-Rex: If you are an author who is stuck, give your character a dog who is a Frankenstein, and I promise your story just got 10 times more interesting.
T-Rex: Fun fact! Why this is NOT done more often is one of the great enduring mysteries in the liberal arts!!

utahraptor! i know this will only hurt me after I'm dead, and yet somehow, I think it's hurting me right now???

www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: When I die, suppose they want to make a documentary film about my life? But then suppose there's not enough resources, or documents, or film clips...

T-Rex: ...and so they bail on the whole project??

T-Rex: This is why I'm determined to leave as many documents and film clips of my life as I can!
T-Rex: I want the first thought after "I should make a documentary about that cool dude T-Rex" to be "Oh sweet, this will be easy, so I will definitely do that previous idea I just had."

Utahraptor: So you're going to live your entire life in service of your death?
T-Rex: Only a little!

Utahraptor: Hmm. I think if I were a filmmaker, I wouldn't just use the mega-biased sources you left behind for post-death aggrandizement. In fact, I'd probably look to see what others who knew you best thought about you.
Utahraptor: ...Which reminds me: I need to go write some things down.

you can't say you'd get used to them because they're giant skeletons with angry eyes!! and if that doesn't convince you, maybe i can remind you that these are giant DINOSAUR skeletons?? check and mate

www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: It took us DECADES to develop the technology to have giant plastic skeletons in our front yard for Hallowe'en.
T-Rex: But, now that we have it...

T-Rex: ...what are we going to do with it?

Dromiceiomimus: I mean - decorate our yards with giant plastic Hallowe'en skeletons, presumably.
T-Rex: No, see, the first use of any new technology is to emulate the old ones - taking plastic skeletons and making them bigger. That's where we STARTED.

Utahraptor: But where will we END?
T-Rex: Exactly!!

T-Rex: 100 years from now, what will this technology of LARGER-THAN-LIFE WEATHERPROOF SCULPTURE be used for, beyond spooky skeletons?
Utahraptor: Perhaps... giant plastic signs? For when trucks keep hitting a low bridge, for example.
T-Rex: I love it!!

Narrator: BUT THEN, FIELD TRIALS DEMONSTRATE THAT GIANT SKELETONS HOLDING A "LOW BRIDGE" SIGN ARE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE:

T-Rex: I have an idea for the spookiest night of the year! We shall call it...
T-Rex: ...THE DAY BEFORE ALL SAINTS' DAY!

God: NAME COULD USE SOME WORK T-REX
T-Rex: Fine!

T-Rex: Seeing as I am unable OR UNWILLING to move it from the day before the day Western Christians honour EVERY ONE of the hallowed saints of their church, what if we call it... "The Evening Before The Solemnity of All Saints"?
God: AGAIN THAT DOESN'T REALLY SAY SPOOKY TO ME
T-Rex: Well if that's the case, I don't know what will!!

Utahraptor: "The Night Before All Hallows Day"?
T-Rex: "All Hallows' Evening"?

Utahraptor: Oooh, I think we're getting close. What we make more and more of the name optional, turning "All Hallows' Evening" to "(All) Hallow(s') E(v)en(ing)"?
T-Rex: "Hallowe'en"? Hmm. I like it!! And we can go door-to-door getting CANDY!

God: ALSO YOU CAN GO BOBBING FOR APPLES WHICH IS A FUN WAY TO GET YOUR FACE WET WHILE BITING AN APPLE OTHERS HAVE TRIED TO BITE FIRST

T-Rex: And maybe I'll stick my head in some shops along the way??

T-Rex: I realized it wasn't a walk at all! It was a shopping trip that I just did on foot. I pranked myself!

T-Rex: - home of the greatest treasures of European art and culture! -

T-Rex: - and then, PURELY FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT, there's a super successful heist two days later and they steal the exact gemeralds I took a bunch of photos of. AM I A SUSPECT?
Dromiceiomimus: Were you casing the joint?
T-Rex: No, I was being a normal tourist doing normal things for normal reasons! But that's just it - being a normal tourist guy is INDISTINGUISHABLE from casing the joint!

Utahraptor: Well, you weren't around for the crime itself, right?
T-Rex: Not even on the same continent!

T-Rex: But I'll tell you this much: if I WERE going to steal jewels, then I would totally recruit a tourist to case the joint, and then, once they left the country, use their intel to pull off my heist.
Utahraptor: Huh. Yeah, that does sound good. That's a good plan!

Off panel: If you're so innocent, why are you making yourself seem a VIABLE SUSPECT, T-Rex?

T-Rex: Hah hah! Timmy, you're out of control!

T-Rex: Anyway, the women that resulted were all precisely what you'd expect: ladies that dressed like and reflected the popular conception of a country. You don't need me for this; you can all imagine it.
Dromiceiomimus: Were there some surprises?
T-Rex: YES, mainly in the fact that ALL NATIONS WERE NOW WOMEN??

T-Rex: And as most nations claim both the air above them AND the ground beneath them as their territory...
Utahraptor: Oh no!

T-Rex: OH YES - that transformed TOO! Suddenly the air above nations was GONE - turned into a woman! - along with the ground beneath them and the seas off their borders. CATACLYSM arrived as Earth's core burst out of colossal holes in the crust, killing everyone save Timmy and the women.
