T-Rex: Everyone's always, "You know what the saddest six-word story is? 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.'" AND TO THAT I SAY: what's so sad about buying cute shoes because they were on super sale and then realizing you have no possible use for them??
God: I THINK IT'S SUPPOSED TO IMPLY A CHILD'S LOSS AND NOT AN IMPULSE PURCHASE
T-Rex: OHHH
T-Rex: Anyway, point is, I can write a sadder story. OBSERVE: "For sale: sucky baby, never loved". Done and done!
Dromiceiomimus: Isn't that basically, like, the same flavour of sadness?
T-Rex: Now there's baby trafficking involved! How is that not sadder than previously-loved footwear at an unbeatably low price??
Utahraptor: Maybe get away from the "for sale" angle?
T-Rex: Not a problem!
T-Rex: "One day everyone died, ohhhhh no" Now that's OBJECTIVELY SADDER: everyone's dead, not just one baby!
Utahraptor: The baby one's sad because we meet two characters: the baby and the shoe selling parent. Your story doesn't have any characters in it, dude!
T-Rex: FINE. "Suddenly, everyone died... INCLUDING ANASTASIA IRONHOOF."
Off panel: Is she... a talking horse?
T-Rex: Um, NOT ANYMORE
