T-Rex: I have a great idea! A way to add DRAMA to our everyday lives.

T-Rex: Let's all promise to meet in a pub somewhere in 10 years!

T-Rex: It'll be rad, Dromiceiomimus! It'll be an element of predictability in an otherwise chaotic universe. It'll let us know that no matter what we do, we'll still be able to see each other in a decade! We'll be able to catch up. We'll have a plan in our lives! It'll be SO MUCH FUN.
Dromiceiomimus: I guess, sure! But what if one of us is on the other side of the world?

Utahraptor: Yeah, or what if one of us is dead?
T-Rex: Then it will be POIGNANT. And BITTERSWEET.

Utahraptor: I get the sentiment, but I think it's a better idea on paper than realized. In real life, even if we survive, we'll end up weighing the cost of a plane ticket against a decade-old pact made for no real reason!
T-Rex: Please? Promise to meet me in a pub in 10 years, okay?

Off panel: T-Rex! It's me: yourself from 10 years in the future! We're just going to call everyone "bastards" when we meet up with them!
T-Rex: Don't listen to him, okay?

August 29th, 2007: Tim Karplus sent me Party Party Party (Hard) song from this comic, which is great, because it's catchy and so plausible as bad techno. Party party party hard, everyone!

John Campbell has a new comic called Pictures For Sad Children and it's terrific. I am John Campbell Fan #1. There's an LJ feed for the comic here!
