T-Rex: The problem with Valentine's Day is that, if you get your sweetie chocolates, the sweetness of the gesture is tainted with some measure of Societal Expectation!

T-Rex: That's the problem with Valentine's Day!

T-Rex: And that's all I have to say on the subject!!

Utahraptor: T-Rex!
Utahraptor: Hey, T-Rex!
T-Rex: WHAT?

Utahraptor: I got you a chocolate

T-Rex: These chocolates don't taste like they're tainted by Societal Expectation at all. Thank you Utahraptor!
Off panel: You're welcome!
T-Rex: They taste a little like ironic comeuppance, but -
T-Rex: I like that flavour.

February 14th, 2008: Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! If you were confused by yesterday's comic (people on the LJ feed weren't, but people on the forum were), here's some cultural context:

And also the Dinosaur Comics store is now at TopatoCo! What this means for YOU, the loved customer, is the following: better stock tracking, the ability to order directly with credit cards, the ability to combine orders with other comics (want a Dinosaur Comics and an A Softer World and a Dresdan Codak shirt in one order? NO PROBLEM) as well as a generally more slick layout. Hooray! If you've ordered from my own store in the last few days: no worries, your order will still go through and everything is under control. If you have any questions, just let me know!

I've got a lot of links to the old store so give me a little bit to get everything nicely pointed in the right place.

One year ago today: this one goes out to the urban herbivore sandwich store in kensington market, who put a nice chalk panel two t-rex on their sign preaching the benefits of veganism. i walked by and saw it with my hands full of discount steak! :0
