Well, it depends on your dialect. True, in Tyrannosaur “rarr” means “dinosaurs are cool,” but if you switch to a slightly more esoteric dialect, such as some higher forms of Therazinosaur “rarr” would more closely relate to “your maternal parent has engaged in copulation with me on multiple consecutive occasions.” You have to be careful.
I wonder who Sarah’s trying to convince there by posing Dina as her ‘friend’: the people who she doesn’t care about or Dina, who needs to be told she’s Sarah’s friend. Nice to see that even Sarah can panic.
For some reason, I still read that as Pointy Haired Boss. Though, for some reason, I also confuse PHB with PFY (Pimply Faced Youth from BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell (Yes, I like nested parenthesis, how could you tell? ( 😉 )))) a lot.
Yeah, but I was always partial to Plateosaurus. The idea of this sauropod precursor rearing up on its hindlegs in order to eat tree leaves always seemed kind of adorable.
Deinonychus where what I thought Jurrassic Park’s raptors were as a child. I was all indignant and like “why do they call them that? Velociraptors were tiny”. Much later I learned that Deinonychus were kind of small as well. But then Utahraptors turned out to be real so it was all okay.
Ah, the tribulations of the young dinosaur nerd. Those big awesome words were part of the appeal, yet one of the hurdles. To this day I hesitate on whether the stress is on the second or third syllable. Die-NON-ick-us or Die-no-NIKE-us? A quick Google suggests the former. But I’ll forget by the time it comes up again.
I was gonna say “I think you meant to say ‘is she adorable’ because the answer is yes” but then I realized that that is NOT a substitution rule to live by.
Awww… To Dina, comparing someone to a dinosaur must be showing the utmost respect to them. 😀 I think in her own little rawr-way, Dina’s saying Sarah is her friend!
This is my girl Dina. She’s small but ferocious. If you wanna take on my girl Dina here go ahead because you know she’s fierce, she’s gonna come up in your face she’s gonna major damage you you gonna walk away maybe limp but I say talk to the hand call waiting cuz she’s out the girl is out I can’t restrains her cuz I’m conversating you right now to give her a chance to cool down, to get back to a realistic level, as it were, because we could be chilling in our crib not just on this college thing representing Malibu and Westwood, you know, malling it like we can girls to frauen pimp my mercedes call me back put you on hold, you know what I’m saying?
I can relate to Sarah, dealing with people who get high who you snitched on, or they at least THOUGHT you said something. Pain in the ass, to say the least.
I feel like one could get along famously with Dina, so long as you make sure to relate all topics to dinosaurs somehow. She might also accept the occasional reference to winged or marine reptiles as well.
Loading ...
Oh shit, she’s in for a mauling now.
from mall-ing to mauling
Your pun made my brain cry.
So it’s Mall-ing to bawling?
That was appalling.
It made my brain cry twin waterfalls of happiness.
I have a terrible sense of humor. Or so I’m told.
You remind me of my parents.
And myself.
Your parents were mauling mallers eh?
Yes. They’d we’re mauling mallers who mapped mallies in the halls of the malls with the falling mall walls
I cant take it any moar. 😛
That’s Maul folks!
The walls in the mall are totally totally tall?
What, is that like a valley girl version of My Fair Lady?
Damn you iPhone!
I hope so, bongo deserves an ass kicking.
Holly crap! Billie gravatar! HUZZAH!
It’s time for Dina to open a can of whoop ass.
I’m here to kick ass and roar like a dinosaur.
AND I’M ALL OUT OF ASS!
RROOOAAR!
Rarr! That means ‘dinosaurs are cool’ in dinosaur.
Well, it depends on your dialect. True, in Tyrannosaur “rarr” means “dinosaurs are cool,” but if you switch to a slightly more esoteric dialect, such as some higher forms of Therazinosaur “rarr” would more closely relate to “your maternal parent has engaged in copulation with me on multiple consecutive occasions.” You have to be careful.
Doesn’t matter, have T-Rex.
And “graa” in Therazinosaur means “for an item of little value.
roar in stegasauras means ” I dislike her, but my girlfriend invited us to her college party and I thought I may as well eat some free chips”
Huh. No wonder she likes Mike.
Sarah talks like death.
She knows she can kill.
She is the Old Testament God after all.
Ah. Back when he liked Dinosaurs.
HER NAME IS A KILLING WORD
POWER WORD: Sarah
*dies*
Or Dream?
I wonder who Sarah’s trying to convince there by posing Dina as her ‘friend’: the people who she doesn’t care about or Dina, who needs to be told she’s Sarah’s friend. Nice to see that even Sarah can panic.
Proabably both. Dina is awkward enough to need assurance and Sarah is taking critical hits to her social ego.
And as adorable as she is, I think Dina’s reaction could be classified as a “Head shot” to what was left of her social ego.
Pretty much…
In their tongue, Dina is known as the dinosaur born. Dinokiin!
FUS RO DAH!
+4 STR
-2 DEX
+8 CON
+2 INT
-2 WIS
+4 CHA
So, the character is strong, can take some hits, is very perceptive and charismatic while at the same time being uncoordinated and not too bright?
Psst, that’s -2 Wis, +2 int 😉
Wait, since when does Wis come before Int?
Back in 3.0 and maintained during 3.5 …..
I still have a copy of the self-disassembling first print run of the PHB.
For some reason, I still read that as Pointy Haired Boss. Though, for some reason, I also confuse PHB with PFY (Pimply Faced Youth from BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell (Yes, I like nested parenthesis, how could you tell? ( 😉 )))) a lot.
… Is anyone else feeling happy they remember what Deinonychus is? They were cool.
Dino-Riders taught us much.
Yeah, but I was always partial to Plateosaurus. The idea of this sauropod precursor rearing up on its hindlegs in order to eat tree leaves always seemed kind of adorable.
I like the Minmi dinosaur myself.
You mean Dinobot?
Personally I’m fond of the Achillobator, mostly because of the cool name and feathers.
It’s the same type of dinosaur that Old Lace from the Runaways is
Engineered clone from the future whose been too gene-modded to quite match any actual species?
Deinonychus where what I thought Jurrassic Park’s raptors were as a child. I was all indignant and like “why do they call them that? Velociraptors were tiny”. Much later I learned that Deinonychus were kind of small as well. But then Utahraptors turned out to be real so it was all okay.
*Paleontology-five* We were into dromaeosaurids before they were cool.
There was a great Animorphs adventure involving dinosaurs. I spent ages misprouncing ‘Deinonychus’.
Ah, the tribulations of the young dinosaur nerd. Those big awesome words were part of the appeal, yet one of the hurdles. To this day I hesitate on whether the stress is on the second or third syllable. Die-NON-ick-us or Die-no-NIKE-us? A quick Google suggests the former. But I’ll forget by the time it comes up again.
I loved that Animorphs book. Probably one of my top 3 books in the series.
I was gonna say “I think you meant to say ‘is she adorable’ because the answer is yes” but then I realized that that is NOT a substitution rule to live by.
You have a point, but in this case it’s true.
My first thought was that she is adorable :)!
I think you mean adorkable.

Reading panel 4, and suddenly, Poppa Loves Mambo by Perry Como pops into my head. Only with the lyrics “Dina loves dinos”.
Hey lady, shut up your face. Don’t you be dissing Dina.
Ahhh, totally wrong face for this
You’re arguing with yourself.
And losing.
That’ll show you.
Cue Dina describing the defense method of said Deinonychus.
With her teeth.
She should show how they fed, by example.
Awww… To Dina, comparing someone to a dinosaur must be showing the utmost respect to them. 😀 I think in her own little rawr-way, Dina’s saying Sarah is her friend!
I’m pretty sure she is. At the same time not grasping the underlying exasperation behind Sarah’s expression.
That’s it, Dina! Show ’em the best you can do!
Raidah’s got Amber’s old hair!
Holy Crap, you’re right!
HEROES
Plan B. We need Joyce to go flip bongoes.
With her “Hammers of God”.
Literally or figuratively?
Yes.
B-words.
Luckily she’s been practicin’ her dog juggling.
have this
I don’t think I’ve told you how much I love that drawing yet.
I should rectify that.
I love it a lot.
I’m just seeing it for the first time, I love it, too
Yotomoe, do you have a comic? Because you should.
I’m plannin’ on it soon, actually…
Just gotta get a website and junk o3o
You can just start posting on deviant art for now 🙂
Dina is ready to pounce.
Then wouldn’t she be Jumping, Jehosaphat?
Only if she could Yotomoe… I got nothing. Puns are hard.
I’d tell her “Work out yo’ toe mo'” :3
This is my girl Dina. She’s small but ferocious. If you wanna take on my girl Dina here go ahead because you know she’s fierce, she’s gonna come up in your face she’s gonna major damage you you gonna walk away maybe limp but I say talk to the hand call waiting cuz she’s out the girl is out I can’t restrains her cuz I’m conversating you right now to give her a chance to cool down, to get back to a realistic level, as it were, because we could be chilling in our crib not just on this college thing representing Malibu and Westwood, you know, malling it like we can girls to frauen pimp my mercedes call me back put you on hold, you know what I’m saying?
Tiny… But Fierce!
Silent… But Deadly.
Drat! Beaten to the punch on the Dresden reference.
Dina is going to make them sore.
“we don’t associate with snitches and wierdos like you two”
“yeeeaaah”
who gets this ref?
I read panel 1 like
“Dinkleburg!”
Haha, me too!
I can relate to Sarah, dealing with people who get high who you snitched on, or they at least THOUGHT you said something. Pain in the ass, to say the least.
and to Dina, ” Raaar! Rawr. “
Awwww shit… Dina is in attack mode, her hat is pissed, and Raidah is in range.
Dina looks just as cute with a face like that.
I like how she developed fangs, just for this.
Reactions to comic:
Ohhhhhh… White text highlighted black. Shit’s get-in’ real.
SQUUUEEEE!!!!
Dina is toooooo cute! And correct. Her freind is very dino-like.
Ohhhh, I get it! Dina! Like as in “dinosaur!
“and the last horse has finally crossed the finish line! What an amazing race everybody!!!”
I don’t get it.
Last horse crossing the finish line is a saying meaning “figuring something kinda obvious out eventually”
😀
I feel like one could get along famously with Dina, so long as you make sure to relate all topics to dinosaurs somehow. She might also accept the occasional reference to winged or marine reptiles as well.
DON’T GO INTO THE LONG GRASS!
bongoy Classmate Raidah wants to battle
Fight Dina
Pockets Run
Not the ref I was going for but close enough.
Professor Oak isn’t going to stop the monsters this time.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=e0mXlbtOzT0
Raidah…wonder if she’s related to Raiden?
…MORTAL KOMBAT!
drama at College Mall. What else is new? LoLz
SHUT UP RAIDAH YOU’RE INTERRUPTING STUFF ABOUT DROMEOSAURS!
Chan and Char? These are the names of your back-up? Where did you find them, the discount bin?
Screw every other girl in the series, I’m in love with Dina <3
That would be a fun project. Nailing Joyce would be the hardest challenge.
Marry / post-marital hanky panky / divorce / rejoice with Dina
Marry/Kill/Do the Dinosaur
Right, because nobody goes to college to learn more about dinosaurs. I mean, its not like there’s even a degree field, or a doctorate related to it.
Ahh…cliques and drama…
And Dina once again proves herself the most attractive lady in the cast.
I’m asking the same question
Dina, plese never stop being adorable. <3
