description Dinosaur Comics Overview
Dinosaur Comics is a webcomic created by Canadian writer Ryan North in 2003. Nearly every regular installment uses the same six panels of pixelated dinosaur artwork, while the dialogue changes to explore language, philosophy, science, relationships, and absurd hypothetical situations. Its recurring speakers include T-Rex, Utahraptor, and Dromiceiomimus, making verbal invention rather than new drawings the comic's central device.
help Dinosaur Comics FAQ
Why do the pictures in Dinosaur Comics stay the same?
Ryan North designed the strip around a fixed six-panel layout using the same dinosaur artwork, while the dialogue changes from installment to installment. The constraint lets a 2003 webcomic explore philosophy, science, relationships, and absurd jokes without redrawing the cast each time.
Who are the recurring dinosaurs in Dinosaur Comics?
The main trio are T-Rex, Utahraptor, and Dromiceiomimus. The strip is hosted at Qwantz.com, which is why readers often call it Qwantz as well as Dinosaur Comics.
How often does Dinosaur Comics update?
The strip's stated schedule is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, except for Canadian holidays. The first comic appeared on February 1, 2003, and the archive has continued with occasional special deviations from the six-panel template.
Does Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics have books or just a website?
It is available free online at Qwantz.com and has also been collected in three print books. North also co-edited Machine of Death, a book project connected to a Dinosaur Comics idea.
