T-Rex: People say inventing original characters is hard, but what they're forgetting is that they're actually really easy and everyone should stop crying and being big babies about everything. Just remember the secret to character generation:
T-Rex: Pop Culture A + Pop Culture B!
T-Rex: You want a new character? Here: Spock meets Bilbo Baggins. DONE. Oh, you want another? Friggin' Doc Brown meets Anna Karenina. BAM.
T-Rex: Your mind is already reeling at the possibilities, and you are welcome.
Utahraptor: Doesn't this get a bit derivative?
T-Rex: Only if you can see the influences!
T-Rex: You wanna hide them, just add another character. Doctor McCoy meets Ellen Ripley, by way of Kevin McCallister. KAPOW.
Utahraptor: Who?
T-Rex: The kid from Home Alone.
Utahraptor: Ah.
Narrator: SIX DAYS LATER:
Off panel: T-Rex, I can't stop thinking about Doctor McCoy meeting Ellen Ripley by way of Kevin McCallister! He's a tough as nails doctor who pranks as he heals!!
T-Rex: 〚thinks〛 FRIG
T-Rex: 〚thinks〛 I've already forgotten all context for this conversation??
