T-Rex: Okay guys, get ready for my new SCIENCE FICTION EPIC that will BLOW YOUR -
God: FANTASY IS IN NOW

T-Rex: What? FANTASY is in now?!

God: YEAH MAN NOW PEOPLE ARE ALL ABOUT ORCS AND VAMPIRES AND WIZARDS AS THEY HAVE BEEN FOR LIKE THE PAST FIVE YEARS
God: YOU DIDN'T NOTICE
T-Rex: NO, I didn't. Maybe because I was too busy enjoying STARSHIP EXPLOSIONS?? Maybe I was too busy enjoying stories that feature the omnipresent threat of the HARSH VACUUM OF SPACE??

Utahraptor: Maybe you should've been too busy paying attention to the cultural zeitgeist??
T-Rex: Bah!

T-Rex: Utahraptor, we live in the future. I can go out TODAY and buy an mp3 player that also can store a small number of PHOTOGRAPHS. Clearly people will give up on high fantasy soon enough and get back to basics, which is and always has been robots who are unsure if they have feelings. You'll see!

Narrator: A FEW YEARS LATER:
T-Rex: What the hell, now everybody's into pretty princess courtroom romances instead!!
T-Rex: Anyway, I'm - I'm actually totally down with this

April 14th, 2010: Some of my shirts are being discontinued today! Now is your last chance to get this shirt, for which sales have dropped a TINY bit, and this shirt, which is the most extreme shirt you will ever own I PROMISE. If you email me a month from now saying "DUDE I totally wanted one of those shirts but then I waited for no reason!" then I will say "I'm sorry, but I put newsposts beneath all Dinosaur Comics on April 14th, 2010 for a REASON."

Also: thanks for buying my shirts everyone! It is totally awesome that you do this, and it is totally awesome that comics gets to be my job.

One year ago today: alternate last panel: t-rex thanks god for his friendship and god says "thank YOU, t-rex" and then there's an extra panel where t-rex says "who says conflict is a necessary part of any narrative? NOT ME, BITCHES"
