Narrator: LITERARY TECHNIQUE COMICS today's technique SIMILE
T-Rex: Simile is when you use one thing to describe some very different thing!

T-Rex: For example: "His legs were like some very different thing"!!

T-Rex: Similes are closely related to metaphors, in that they're exactly the same, except if you don't use "like" or "as" then it's not a simile.
Dromiceiomimus: Sounds like an annoying gotcha to me!!

T-Rex: Similes are LIKE a very annoying gotcha, yes!
Utahraptor: Can you give me some more examples?

T-Rex: Oh, sure. NUKE-lear vs. NU-clear, flammable vs. inflammable, slander vs. libel, dolls vs. action figures, brontosa--
Utahraptor: I meant more examples of SIMILES.

T-Rex: "His legs were like ice cream cones: tapered at the bottom, oddly textured, and the price of admission to something far more sweeter which they carried, thanklessly, throughout the world."
T-Rex: You thought I didn't know how to describe legs but then I broke your heart describing some damn legs!!
